Forno 88 - Food VIC

5 /5 Francesco Torelli: I had the Diavola pizza and it was absolutely delicious, truly authentic in every detail. This place made me feel like at home in Italy. The staff were incredibly kind and very friendly. Fantastic, highly recommended!!

5 /5 Leonard Khoo: Had takeaway, and we can tell the wood fired pizza wouldve been much better fresh, eaten in. The margherita was simple and really good, and the truffle pizza was also really tasty. Only improvement would be to look at the dough mix as it does get a bit chewy, so either needs to be crispier or softer, one or the other, to make it better. Also tried the tiramisu, which needs more egg, was a touch too sweet, and needs more coffee flavour. Definitely needs some adjusting. This place is promising, Im excited to see it stick around and get better. Well have to try dining in next time. 08/03/26 edit: We booked a table and dined in. The food is quite simply perfect. The calamari was fantastic, we then had the rigatoni carbonara, made traditionally with egg yolks, guanciale, pecorino romano, it was perfect. We also tried the lasagna bolognese, again made the way it should be, and just perfect. You wouldnt/shouldnt change anything. We finished with the Panna Cotta and homemade blueberry compote, this is a must try, and also had the tiramisu, again executed very well. They do things the traditional way, how it was meant to be, and they nail it. This is more than just a local gem, and will likely become the go-to Italian restaurant for many people in the surrounding suburbs. Its a small restaurant, so call ahead to book!

5 /5 Brian Loye: Gave this place a try and was impressed. Tight seating but the food and service was on point and thats what matters. Pizza and Gnocchi were great and the Tiramisu was spectacular, just how we like it, traditional and executed well. Will be back to try some more dishes for sure.
