About this business
Il Fornaio has locations all over California and a few in other states like Colorado, Virginia and Nevada. The menu of Italian comfort food is definitely the reason why this restaurant chain has impressed diners on both coasts. Here in Pasadena, executive chef Maurizio Mazzon creates a comprehensive menu of antipasti, salads, pizza, pasta and the specialties from the grill and rotisserie are what make this restaurant stand out. Of course, a full wine list of Italian varietals is also available.

Good Food I love this place. Always consistently good food and service. One of my favorites in old town. I love the wine and dessert selections. I definitely recommend if you are in the area.
Great coffee, breads and lunch menu at the cafe on the side I've had lunch at the pricey indoor restaurant, great food, fabulous staff, nice portions, wonderful menu. But the cafe located on the side, is a jewel in this pricey downtown area! They have great coffee and pastries or fresh baked bread. Come in early for a great sandwich or salad, they sell out fast! The salads have shaved parmesan cheese, olives and great viniagrette. The sandwiches on homemade bread and great meats & cheeses are favorites! Prices are low, under... read more
Great Lunch Salads A couple of months ago Il Fornaio introduced a cutom salad bar lunch service and I have become a regular customer. It's a pretty good deal - 3 different types of salad and five mix-ins (I usually go for tofu, olives, walnuts, beets and brocolli) for under $6. Everything is very fresh and delicious. They have pretty good sandwiches too.
Excellent Brunch. I've really enjoyed going to Il Fornaio for brunch. They have an excellent and very interesting menu along with full bar service. Check it out on a leisurely Sunday Morning, you won't be disappointed. PROS: Great Brunch. CONS: Somwhat pricey.
There are actually two storefronts: a main dining area and a deli counter around the side of the building. I can't recommend the deli counter enough -- high-quality sandwiches, pasta salads, and salads at decent prices.
I really, really wanted to love the place. We had our daughter with her boyfriend over from Germany, and he wanted to take us for a treat on their last evening. We strolled through Old Town Pasadena and did not have a reservation, so I can not complain about the wait in a really busy restaurant.The atmosphere and service were nice (the waitress was really lovely) but loud; instead of the ordered ice water, we got bottled designer water with no ice at all;-) - and service … See more
I am giving Il Fornaio a 2 rating, not because of the wait staff that was very good, or the food that was very well prepared, but rather for the management of the restaurant. Specifically, when as a visitor to Pasadena one goes to their website, one should be able to trust the information. It is important for someone like me, that is disabled (an amputee) that if the website says there is valet parking, that there is. There was none. When viewing the menu, one should trust the prices. Il Fornaio's prices were a full 15% high... read more
