Anchoring Saratoga's vibrant downtown, Forno Bistro offers a variety of rustic, Tuscan-style food rooted in tradition. Forno chefs use only the freshest seasonal ingredients to prepare dishes with respect to their flavors, appearance, and aroma.
Located in the historic Old Firehouse building on Broadway in Saratoga Springs, Forno Bistro offers an authentic taste of Tuscany in a setting rich with local heritage. Opened in 2004 by David Zecchini, who brought his experience from Rome and California, Forno Bistro has become a staple of Saratoga dining, known for its warm ambiance, exceptional service, and rustic Tuscan cuisine.
Forno’s food is hearty and unpretentious yet layered with sophisticated flavors rooted in tradition. Our chefs draw inspiration from classic Tuscan recipes, using fresh, seasonal ingredients prepared with care and respect for their natural aromas. Many dishes are influenced by our wood-fired oven, which imparts the signature warmth and character that define the Tuscan style of life.
The restaurant’s interior is warm and inviting, featuring exposed brick, reclaimed barn wood, and natural textures that create a rustic yet refined atmosphere. Century-old corrugated metal sheets wrap the bar, while oak, maple, and pine bark accent the walls and pillars, reflecting the craftsmanship and charm of Tuscany.
Forno Bistro’s award-winning covered patio comes alive in the summer with lush greenery, terra cotta statues, and wrought-iron detailing. With full audio-visual capabilities, the space is ideal for both private and semi-private events.
Whether you’re dining out for the evening or hosting a special celebration, Forno Bistro delivers a welcoming experience that captures the heart of Tuscan living.
