Landed mid afternoon at LAX on Thanksgiving. So went to Il Fornaio for an early dinner. The food and service were excellent. Highest recommendation for a special (or any) occasion. Great atmosphere. We’ll make Il Fornaio a Thanksgiving tradition and meet friends there next time!!

insalata regina was FANTASTIC!!!

burrata + prosciutto was a great appetizer too.

Tried this place for the first time and was really impressed. The inside of this spot is clean with a cool ambience and very upscale feel. The seating was also on point. The waiter was really good and made sure we had everything we needed. …

Il Fornaio had a friendly staff and a nice ambiance. It wasn’t crowded. The Italian food was decent but a bit pricey. The parking is a hassle and confusing because of all the construction. Go here for a date or birthday dinner, not a quick bite.

What a great place! Loved all the dish we ordered. Not too salty and all the seafood was cooked to perfection! Service was great and price is reasonable. Dessert is also very impressive and evrything tasted great.

Great service and food. Best calamari I’ve had in a while (we live in Utah). Definitely recommend.

Simple Italian food. Ambience is nice. Menu is pricey for the food that they serve. The calamari was lightly breaded and fried to a crisp. Not too salty. The soup was reportedly good. All was consumed. The pasta was good. The fresh …

Good food, excellent staff. Very good to work with for setting up a corporate meal. Generous portions and decent presentations. We had a private room AND patio for our group. I recommend and would visit again. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

Excellent restaurant. Parking availability is virtually unlimited for dinner hours, in the adjacent parking structure with about a 3-minute walk (be sure to validate your stub, but the wait staff will remind you). Valet spots are limited, …

The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance with delicious food.

Best pasta in town! Prices are reasonable and food is AMAZING. Our server was super nice and kind, the bread basket with butter and balsamic/olive oil mix was really good. The bread tasted and felt freshly made. Would recommend going here!

Went for dinner. Hadn’t been here for several years so decided to try it out again as we had always enjoyed going here. It was easy to make a reservation and we were welcome on arrival and seated outdoors. Excellent ambiance. The service was great as was the food and wine. Looking forward to going back soon. Highly recommended.

I haven’t been here in a very long time but I dine here during oc restaurant week. The service and food was excellent. Great value for four course pre fix meal at $40 per person. Outdoor dining and take out only.

This high class Italian restaurant had nice menu choices and daily specials. They offered customized entrée’s made to order if you didn’t find something on the menu you liked. All the items were fresh and tasted homemade. The entrée price …

Our server was attentive,recommended our whole meal form appetisers and main dishes . Everything we had was excellent . …

Came for a birthday party in one of their private rooms. Definitely recommend their private rooms if you have a group. The rooms are at the back of the restaurant, behind the kitchen with a view of the pond. It was warm when we got there so …

Wow high end Italian at its best! I tried to go to Boss cat and they were closed for a party. Ended up here. Wonderfull fresh pasta, salad and steaming hot freshly baked bread. Awesome atmosphere and server was very nice and proper! Be prepared to pay, but worth it!!!
