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. Il Fornaio means "the Baker" in Italian. This award-winning restaurant offers an authentic and unique Italian dining experience. Specialties include wood-fired rotisserie and grilled meats, poultry and game; house made pastas; pizzas from an oak wood burning oven; fresh salads and house made soups; a wide variety of desserts; and fresh baked bread made daily from scratch.

    We visited to celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. Il Fornaio holds a special place in our hearts. We were seated on the patio with a lovely view of downtown. I'd say the only downfall was the bass reverberation from the Shell...it was an, otherwise, lovely evening. Our server, Luis, was perfection and the staff, from hosts to manager were attentive and professional. If you have a special occasion to celebrate...consider Il Fornaio Coronado, we'll be back.
