My cousin took me here for my birthday, everything we ordered was phenomenal delicious, our server was attentive and I got a free chocolate ice cream 🍨 for my birthday, it was really thoughtful. I can’t wait to be back and try other entrees.
Loved everything here. The service was excellent, the food was amazing and delicious, the atmosphere was incredible. My food was so hot I know it was freshly made. This has been the best day I've ever had dining out, I rarely give 5 stars but everything about today was just so magical. Fresh pasta a
We enjoyed a very special dinner date last night at Il Fornaio, Irvine. We originally intended to order takeout, but when Marcello (managing partner) heard about our special situation, he and the staff made accommodations and took good care of us. We sincerely appreciate the clear professionalism an
A little overrated. Affordable prices, very good pizza, but don't order a special.
I went on a weekday for dinner and it was very slow.
I ordered the risotto listed as a special of the day and... well, it wasn't risotto and the entire dish was mainly one flavor.
I expected more overall, because y
Attended my work Holiday lunch. The service was great and the food was delicious
The food was fabulous. Staff members pleasantly catered to our every need. When you arrive stop in the valet parking area. They take care of parking your car.
Came here early for drinks before dinner and really enjoyed their cocktails. I got the Stars of Michelangelo and it was delicious but sweet so if you don’t like sweet don’t order that one. I highly enjoyed the Vodka pasta and the Margarita pizza. Overall very satisfied with the food here.
Just had an event here for my job, and I want to personally thank our servers, Venezia, Elmer, and Hugo for providing excellent service. They were very attentive to all our guests, and were more than happy to answer all my inquiries, and provide needed assistance. I am a server myself, and I truly h
Nice location, spacious area and restaurant.
The staff is very easy-going and friendly as much as their guests. Easy to talk to other people, especially if you will sit at the bar.
Jana from the Bar staff took good care of me and my friend.
Good food.
Will go back.
Good quality ingredients but it doesn’t hold up well on delivery and I can’t blame them for that. Eat it there if you can because my pasta became over cooked from sitting in the container. The seafood pasta dish I ordered was really good even delivered.
What a great Italian dining experience !
Delicious food, excellent service and a unique atmosphere , one of my favorite up- scale dining in Irvine
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!!!
It's our go-to spot for work lunches and it is so perfect.
The bread is always warm and perfectly done. Its not too seasoned, not too crunchy, not too chewy!
The pastas are great - ravioli, fussiloni đź‘Ť
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!!
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, but I believe a 4 hour period is validated by the restaurant.
I would say 4.5 as shown is accurate. Could be rated slightly higher. Food is 9/10 easy. Prices are a little higher than the quality and quantity they represent. Other than that, great service and good. The manager Marcello, is a big part of all that!
They don't change the quality of food!!!! They s
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!
Probably the best Italian food I have had in a long time. Great restaurant with good service and excellent food. Time from ordering to arrival of foos was short. Everything was delicious and service was friendly and efficient.
