Influenced by the good reviews here,I went to Il Ferno,while I was in Manali last month.
I wanted to testify the appreciation its been receiving :
First Impression:
This place has got a charm,a cozy place tucked in the hills.
You can find a seat for yourself within the restaurant or outside in a small lawn overlooking the valley and mountains.
Inside was all full with foreigners so we took seat in the lawn and placed the following order:
Spetzatino (Lamb)
Chicken,Tomato & Cheese Pizza.
Tiramisu for dessert.
Sorry couldn't take all the pics as I was extremely hungry after coming from Rohtang
I tried Spetzatino for the first time & found it to be just OK.
Perhaps its not meant to deliver what an Indian taste bud demands,so no offense to it.
Since I haven't tried a a lot of authentic continental food yet,so cannot really comment if this was the best one.
But I couldn't finish even half of it
.
Secondly it was the Pizza turn,and I looked forward to it,being a big Pizza fan.
So as you can see,the Pizza looks yummy and truly Italian.
Pizza base was fresh & it was quite a change from usual ones from Dominos & Pizzahut.
Though it was quite a surprise that Il Ferno doesn't give ketchup at all.
Infact they have written it on the menu "No ketchup served"
I wonder whats the reason.
So in absence of ketchup,I couldn't enjoy it to the max.
Finally came the Tiramisu,to which I would give a 10/10.
It was wonderfully done & the flavor of Coffee was just awesome.
So over all its a nice place but not good for experimentation as I did with Spetzatino

Beautiful review of a wonderful place. I had just one meal there but I still remember it.
Was sitting outside, enjoying the view with Pizza and couple of beers. The owner was very friendly and she stopped my friends (friends I made while at my hotel) from smoking saying 'its injurious to your health'.

Come as you are!
The pizza I had here - chicken & mushroom, was the best pizza I had in my entire life, trust me! The base, quality of the toppings and the overall presentation was so excellent that me & my wife end up having 2 of those 12inchers despite the fact that we were not much hungry! INR 280 per pizza
Yummy! A definite go...

Hmmm......looks like Manali is a place worth visiting just because of this restaurant only.
