Step inside Il Fornaio and take a culinary journey through Italy. Early mornings bring rustic, crisp crusted bread hot from the oven accompanied by the scent of fresh brewed espresso. During lunch and dinner hours, pastas and flavorful sauces simmer while meats and vegetables roast over hot coals. Bottles of wine from small, regional wineries are uncorked to complement the dishes, which have been crafted in the custom of Italy's chefs, bakers and homemakers.

In the tradition on Italy's trattorias, the sight, sounds and aromas of authentic Italian cuisine are recreated fresh everyday at Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana.

"The bread takes the cake at this chain of bakery/Italians that offers a delicious alternative to the norm with an authentic menu of solid standbys and interesting specials as well as irresistible baked goods and sumptuous desserts...the decor is consistently classy and hip." - Zagat Survey, 2004

The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was beautiful. We had a wonderful luncheon, EXCEPT that the pasta (zucca) was lukewarm at best. We could not figure out why that would be. Otherwise, a very memorable lunch!

"Our dinner and service were excellent! I enjoyed the opportunity to use the 20% discount. This is a chef-owned restaurant in which the chef was visible throughout the evening...A very nice, relaxed atmosphere. " Leigh V.-New York, NY
