Il Fornaio Coronado

Such a wonderful meal! Had lunch for the first time here and this will be our "go to" Italian place. The staff were friendly, accommodating and professional. The food was nothing short of spectacular, bringing back memories of our trips to Italy. Even the waiter was Italian! The views of San Diego Bay were magnificent. Just south of Peohe's, on the waterfront, with available paid parking with 2 hours of that complimentary. Everything about our visit here was superb. Highly recommended!

You can’t get a bad seat in the place with the open windows. Food came out fast, almost too fast. It’s not the best Italian food but it’s tasty. Great service once sat at our table. The only bummers are that Happy Hour is only in the bar and the hostesses didn’t bother to say that, didn’t mark the open table reservation so I almost got a no show, ignored me after they told me parking was free for two hours, and didn’t acknowledge the anniversary comment in our reservation to ask us or have the server ask us if we wanted to do a dessert or anything to celebrate.

We had a small wedding reception and it was fantastic. The smaller private room was perfect and had door's which made it more intimate. The food was wonderful, large portions and absolutely delicious. The views are breathtaking. Friendly staff and very attentive to your every need. Booking was easy. They have set menus for events that have a variety of choices for your guests. We had a wonderful time and we highly recommend. We will stop back in for dinner the next time we are in Coronado.

Sorry, we were so ready for the food I did not take many pictures. This is a multi-star restaurant in a multi-star location. From the receptionists to wait staff, all are top notch. Authentic Italian menu, appetizers, soups, salads, pastas, seafood & steaks & a full bar. Very affordable for an upscale night out, the location on the water will impress locals & visitors alike. We had a big group (large semi-private room) & all were served in a timely manner & dishes were perfect & delicious.

A beautiful day after Christmas to have a family lunch at Coronado island. My mother in law’s family was originally from Sicily, Italian food is always the top choice for our family. This place serves authentic and delicious Italian foods. All of us felt happy about the foods, service and the drinks. The view here is amazing, you can see the line of San Diego downtown across the bay. I’ll recommend you here for a family and friends hangout.
