Forno 46

Forno 46 is a modern Italian restaurant just off The Corso in Manly, around 100 metres from Manly Beach and a short walk from Manly Wharf. Its setting makes it a practical stop after a ferry ride, a day at the beach or a walk along the coast, with the venue describing itself as part of Manly’s mix of locals, travellers, food, wine and nightlife.

The focus changes with the time of day. At night, Forno 46 serves classic and signature pizzas made with dough fermented for 48 hours, alongside wine and cocktails. During the week, its daytime offering is fresh panini, baked daily and available from 11.30am to 2.30pm from Monday to Friday. The lunch service is takeaway only, with no table service, and can also be ordered through Uber Eats and DoorDash.

For an evening meal, table bookings are available, making the restaurant suited to a relaxed pizza outing near Manly’s beachside strip. The weekday panini service is a more casual option for a quick lunch or takeaway. Forno 46 says it welcomed more than 27,000 dine-in guests in its first 10 months, and its location places it close to the beach, wharf, local food spots, music and nightlife. It holds a 4.7 Google rating from 132 reviews.
