Forli Italian Restaurant

Absolutely incredible food and flawless service. We hosted a group function for 22 people on a busy Saturday night, and the staff at Forli Italian didn’t miss a beat. Every dish came out perfectly timed, and the team was warm, attentive, and completely on top of things. The pasta was a standout, freshly made, cooked al dente, and coated in a rich, slow-cooked tomato sauce that paired beautifully with sweet, tender seafood. It was comforting, balanced, and bursting with flavor. We also tried the burrata and prosciutto pizza, and it was phenomenal. The creamy burrata melted into the hot crust, while the delicate, salty prosciutto added the perfect contrast. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh basil tied it all together - absolutely worth ordering. The kids' pizza was not only a generous portion, but the chefs shaped it with adorable puppy ears 🐶 A thoughtful and fun touch brought laughs to table. Forli Italian hits the mark for both quality and experience. Highly recommended for groups, families, or anyone who loves Italian cuisine.

Quick serving speed. We had a cool Italian meal here. I think the sauce for the ink pasta can use some tweaks, it lacks some pan-flavor. The mussels are also quite small. Lit lasagna tho.

Did you say Italian? We said Forli! When we visit our relatives in Balmain this is our choice of restaurant to eat. We have always enjoyed the food, ambience and special service and our recent visit merely enhanced the experience. For entrees we had garlic bread and bruschetta, mains were veal with prosciutto, lasagne, spaghetti con gamberi, ragu and deserts were panna cotta, tiramisu and affogato - all delicious. We enjoyed a superb meal! This restaurant comes highly recommended!

We visited this Italian restaurant for Saturday lunch, and every dish we ordered truly hit the mark. It’s rare to find a place where each plate impresses, but this one delivered from start to finish. What We Ordered Entrée: Cozze (Mussels) A generous serving of plump, fresh mussels. Perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Burrata Pizza The dough was excellent—thin, light, and beautifully done. The burrata added the perfect creamy touch. Sweet Potato Gnocchi Outstanding texture. The gnocchi had that ideal al dente bite—not too soft—and the rosé sauce complemented it perfectly. Squid Ink Pasta Highly recommended. The prawns had a delicious char‑grilled flavour, and the whole dish was rich and well‑balanced. Veal Funghi Another standout. The veal was thin yet incredibly tender, and the mushroom sauce paired beautifully with it. Service The service was just as impressive as the food. Our server was attentive, friendly, and polite, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall A fantastic Italian dining experience from start to finish. We will definitely be coming back.

Forli is a great casual Italian restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. We really enjoy the pizzas at Forli and they have a good selection of Italian wine. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Nice family-friendly atmosphere that works well whether you're bringing kids or just having a relaxed dinner. Highly recommended.
