Still thinking about the pasta... – My husband and I ate here 2/9/08 while celebrating our anniversary and it was delicious. We'd made reservations and had no trouble getting to a table. The entrees were a little slow coming out; the waiter was telling us the kitchen was backed up. Once they arrived, our entrees were delicious. I got the Puttanesca sauce with angel hair (spicy and cheesy) and my husband got a vodka-sauce pasta with bacon. They were right on top of refilling drinks and checking up on us without being intrusiv... read more
less than impressed – It was my husband's and my first time in Seattle, and Il Fornaio was the closest restaurant to our hotel. If I had known it was a mall chain Italian restaurant, I might have thought twice. We made a reservation online for 8:00 and when we checked in at 7:55, we were told by a very snippy hostess that it would be "at least 15-20 minutes." The atmosphere was nice, it was romantic even though the tables were very close together. Our server was friendly until I asked for a re-do on my gnocchi, then she was ... read more
Undercooked... – I had the gnocchi and was disappointed. My first experience was wonderful...having tried it at Buca Di Beppo's however here it was an entirely different experience. It was not chewy like it's suppose to be, but rather slimy on the inside from being undercooked...and yet it took about 20 minutes for our food to arrive. The whole time, I was poking through my food and bracing myself for a cooked, or undercooked piece of gnocchi...lol. I did however enjoy the ambience and if I ordered a different plate, maybe m... read more
Perfect if you prefer to be unsatisfied – I had dinner on a whim before seeing a movie and my date I were very disapointed with our meals. We are generally easy to please when it comes to dining out but we both walked away with post meal depression after our sub par pasta plates. Now I like basil but when the overabundance of it consumes the taste of alfredo, it kinda ruins the plate. Also,the shrimp in that same plate was waaay undercooked and had to be sent back to the kitchen. The cannelloni was bland and I am pretty sure... read more
I love this place!! The salads are the best I ever had. – The atmosphere is romantic and classy. The service is wonderful. The food is out of this world. What more could you ask for? It's a little bit pricey but in my opinion, well worth it. I've been there twice and each time had a different salad, and I have to say, these are the BEST salads I have ever had.
Big, brassy and hot, this place demonstrates that chain restaurants can do it right. – In Short With its oversize bar, the sprawling dining room attracts a diverse crowd of locals and tourists. The restaurant has an open kitchen that turns out renditions of regional northern Italian fare, with a dozen or more daily specials. Starters include salads or grilled ciabatta bread swathed with chopped tomatoes, basil and kalamata olives. Entrees such as ravioli filled with Swiss chard and pine nuts or mesquite-grilled chicken are p... read more
Unbelieveable bread!! – I was just passing through Seattle for work and stopped in for a quick bite and could not believe the amazing bread they sell by the loaf! It's dirt cheap too! $3.50 for a huge loaf of good rustic bread. Where else can you find a deal like that? The sandwich I had was great too, but I could not get over the quality of that bread!
Best Salad in town – While downtown shopping with my two children, I needed a quick bite. Il Fornaio cafe in Pacific Place was the most convenient at the time. I was thrilled to find that they had a "create your own salad" bar. You choose your lettuce, then your choice of toppings, all for less than $6.00. How could you go wrong? All of their ingredients were fresh and tasty. My kids were content with the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had, and a slice of cheese pizza. Their cafe is the perfect place for quick dining a... read more
A bit pricey, but nice – I enjoyed Il Fornaio. I thought the food innovative and tasty. The drinks were a bit strong, but that's bartender-specific so I don't really knock them down for it. All nice restaurants in Seattle are pricey and I didn't think this one was out of whack.
