Il Forno Italian Restaurant is set to open a second location in North Lakeland this December, owner Mike Pugliese told Business Debut. Located at 6617 N Socrum Loop Rd, Lakeland, FL 33809, the new restaurant will build on the popularity of the original Il Forno on the south side of Lakeland, which has been serving the community since 2004.

The North Lakeland location will feature the same beloved Italian dishes that patrons have enjoyed for nearly two decades, now with the addition of a full bar and seating for around 130 guests. This new space will offer a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for families and friends looking to experience Italian cuisine.
