The service was really nice, and patient! I had the pasta with egg and spinach and seafood , which was really tasty, fragrant, and flavorful. I had the caramel salt gelato which is rich and creamy.
My colleagues had the veal and the other had the tenderloin while I had the petite pollo with a spicy sauce but it was delicious. Wonderful service and always great ambience
I have been here several times it is always fabulous. The food is delish and the service is terrific. You can't go wrong with Il Fornaio.
They rotate their tasting menu every month and it's always good. Amazing brunch . Del Fornaio salad is tops. Super friendly and accommodating service too.
There’s something for everyone at Il Fornaio—from a purist who only wants spaghetti and meat sauce to a more daring Italian connoisseur eager for pasta with mussels , clams , garlic and wine sauce .
They have something for everyone, even the vegans and those allergic to things like gluten. Great atmosphere, service, and food/beverages. One of my favorite places.
One of the best restaurant in Pasadena. I’ve always enjoyed dining II Fornaio
Loved the Pollo Tescano w/ rosemary garnish !
The salmon dinner and risotto were both great. Also had salad with strawberries . Very yummy!
Love Il Fornaio ... Every morning I get to walk through that alley to get myself coffee feels like I am strolling down an alley in Rome and getting coffee at a cafe in Rome!! :-)
When coming here with a larger group ask for a private room. Much more quaint and intimate . The calamari is delicious.
Best Happy Hour in Old Town Pasadena . Try a $5 Pizza or Beef Carpaccio and an ice cold Peroni on draught . Also, free complimentary breadsticks as long as your arm.
They have an amazing cafe/coffee shop with great morning coffee and pastries and delicious lunch . Hot press paninis , create ur own salad , and great hot soups
Grab a fresh and healthy lunch atthe cafe and enjoy a delicious cookie by the Gluten Free Goddess Bakery ! Delicious.
Antipasta appetizer.. Salmon and butternut ravioli a are all fabulous!
Really great authentic Italian ! Try the most simple dishes like Margarita Pizza and Angel Hair Pasta and you won't be disappointed! :)
The salad/pizza/sandwich/pastry bar in the back is perfect for a quick bite .
Gluten free menu ... Great place for a post-shopping cocktail !
Next time I'll try a dessert !
Try the Gluten free cookie bars from the gluten free goddess Bakery . They are amazing!
Their brunch is a great deal. Really accommodating for large parties and kids.
Outstanding morning place to meet for coffee . By far the best kept secret in Old Town .
The butternut squash ravioli is excellent!
Expensive..., food is very very good ;)
Calamari for starters finished by a pizza is molto bene!
Ask the Mayor to buy you lunch and he will gladly hook you up.
I only recommend the cafe where the coffee and sandwiches are great. Unfortunately, the service lately has been bad to incompetent.
They have the best bread pudding - but it's seasonal...
Wednesday is $5 salad day!
The beef carpaccio is the best!
Great pizza
Bacon & blue cheese salad at the cafe .
Try the Espresso
Service is rushed. Appetizers were delivered and the entrees came right after. Not an overall relaxed experience.
CLOSED down. Rent too high in old town Pasadena . Sad
Great mojito !
Qaaasrrr b b bxx
Try the truffel oil pizza
Grab a salad or a sandwhich at their cafe !
truly rude service at the bar . disappointed. left before ordering.
Bad customer service, great soup
Es un excelente lugar. La comida se prepara con un sabor casero y buen gusto. Recomiendo hacer reservación a principio de año porque se llena con la gente que atiende el RoseBowl.
Maravilhoso!!! Atendimento 10!!! Sugiro reservar. Já disse que é maravilhoso? Sim! Maravilhoso!

Great place! The atmosphere is 'hip casual', the italian bakery is outstanding. The chicken Lasagna is the best. Reservations are strongly recommended. - Adam Ashley
Try the peanut butter brownie cup. Plenty to share or just indulge. You'll want one each visit after! - Nicole Myerscough
Really impressive staff. Very personable and attentive. Love the food - Phyllis Brady
Lots of great places to check out just strolling around. 1810 Argentinean Restaurant = Amazing!! Definitely a come back spot. Must try the Parrillada Mixta!! - Den Y
Take advantage of all they have to offer. The food and drinks are great, splurge a little and indulge, this is the only place you are going to see a movie in such luxury. It's not cheap but worth it. - Caren Spitler
Amazing in store customer service experience! First time in for any issue-Kurt and Kris took care of me, with excellence (saving me a ton of money while at it)! Very impressed, Apple..very impressed! - Wade
