" What a fantastic dining experience! I loved the lasagna, possibly one of the best I’ve had. The ambiance is wonderful with views of the sunset over the San Diego skyline. Service was attentive but not intrusive; my glass was always full! Highly recommend making reservations! I can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Il Fornaio is my go-to Italian restaurant whenever I find myself in Coronado. I love their calamari and their wine selection is impressive. The service has always been friendly, making me feel at home. A highlight was their special dessert that was absolutely delightful! I fully recommend making a reservation, especially during the weekends as it gets busy. Always a pleasure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Going to Il Fornaio was a fantastic choice for our family reunion! The pasta dishes were all excellent and catered to everyone’s tastes. I particularly enjoyed the seafood linguine, very satisfying. Additionally, the view of the San Diego skyline from our table was a lovely touch. The staff was friendly but we noticed a slight delay in serving, so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very enjoyable experience overall, but there were a few hiccups. The food was delicious, but we had to wait longer than expected for our mains. Also, I noticed that the portion of calamari was a bit smaller than I anticipated. However, our server was lovely and kept coming to check on us, which I appreciated. I would recommend trying the mushroom ravioli! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great spot on Coronado Island! The calzone and wood-fired pizzas were fantastic. The service was decent, and the atmosphere is vibrant, with an essence of Italy. I would recommend going for the appetizers; all were spot on. Overall, a pleasant dining experience that I would repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the views are lovely, my meal left much to be desired. I ordered the lasagna and it was average at best. The flavor was lacking, and service was slow at times. I wanted to enjoy my meal but felt the overall experience could have been better. I might try it again, but I’m not in a rush to do so. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite reading mixed reviews, I decided to try Il Fornaio and was pleasantly surprised! The lasagna was superb, authentic, and packed with flavors. I also enjoyed their wine selection which complemented our meals perfectly. The only downside was that dessert took a bit long to arrive, but it was delicious as well. This restaurant is certainly worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
