Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana

Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana is a renowned chain of Italian-themed fine dining restaurants operating primarily in California and Las Vegas. Established in 1986, the brand has grown to encompass 18 locations, each offering an authentic Italian dining experience.

The restaurant's mission is to provide guests with the most authentic Italian experience outside of Italy. Each Il Fornaio restaurant is designed specifically for the communities they serve, ensuring that restaurant hours, menus, and reservation sizes may vary by location.

They are open for lunch and dinner every day at almost all locations, and large parties, private dining groups, and special events are welcome at every Il Fornaio.

Menu and Culinary Offerings

The menu features a wide variety of premium-quality Italian dishes, including house-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas, grilled fish, authentic risottos, and rotisserie meats. Fresh pasta is made in-house daily, and all sauces, soups, and dressings are prepared from scratch.

Many locations feature wood-fired rotisseries and grills. The restaurants also offer gluten-free menus and an array of vegetarian and vegan options. House-made desserts complete many meals.

Special Events and Experiences

Il Fornaio hosts a monthly "Festa Regionale," a celebration of food and wine from a different region of Italy. This promotion allows guests to experience regional specialties and earn "passport stamps" by ordering featured dishes.

Collecting all stamps rewards guests with a special gift, enhancing the dining experience and encouraging exploration of Italy's diverse culinary traditions.

Private Events and Venue Usage

For private events, Il Fornaio offers customized dining experiences with the assistance of an on-site event coordinator. There is no room rental fee, and the entire restaurant is available for buyouts for large special events.

This flexibility makes Il Fornaio an ideal venue for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings.
