Neapolitan wood-fired pizza and fresh pasta in a modern brick-and-wood interior
Margherita pizza from the wood-fired oven and fresh house-made pasta, plus burrata salad with raspberries
Good for wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and fresh house-made pasta, in a modern brick-walled space downtown.
Modern Italian restaurant in central Chișinău with exposed brick ceilings, solid wood tables, and a warm contemporary atmosphere. The Margherita pizza emerges from the wood-fired oven with a perfectly crisp crust, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil. Pasta is house-made, meat dishes are cooked to perfection, and the burrata-and-raspberry salad brings an elegant touch to the table. Portions lean smaller than average, but ingredient quality compensates—Il Forno bets on authenticity, not volume. Best enjoyed in the evening for a relaxed dinner with friends or a romantic date, with the option of a charming terrace with decorative plants.

“Excellent Italian in Chișinău! I had a great time at Il Forno! The food quality is simply outstanding—truly authentic Italian flavors, fresh, and delicious. My only small note is that the portions are quite small. While the taste is top-tier, I wish they were a bit bigger. A massive shout-out to our waiter! He was incredibly professional, attentive, and spoke perfect English. T…”
