Forli Italian Restaurant

Forli sits on Darling Street in Balmain, a characterful, village-like peninsula suburb in Sydney's inner west. A well-loved Italian restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality, authentic cooking — the kind of warm, welcoming spot that pairs accomplished Italian fare with a relaxed atmosphere and has become a genuine local favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality Italian food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great Balmain location, ideal for a family dinner, a special meal or a relaxed night out. Classic Italian dining done well has a timeless appeal, and Forli has clearly won over both locals and visitors in the inner west.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 600 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Balmain restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a family meal out on Darling Street.
