Delicious fresh pasta and tasty foods , attentive waiters and getting ready to try the desert
I love this place. Coming from Italy this is the closest Italian food that I had in Orange County.
Lovely restaurant and the menu covered everyone’s palate. Wait staff was quick and attentive and the food and wine was incredible.

Il Fornaio Irvine is a popular restaurant known for its excellent service and delicious food. The menu offers a variety of options, including a seasonal selection, and the food is consistently great. However, some dishes may be smaller than expected. Recently, the restaurant added a 3% surcharge and charges for bread, which some guests find less transparent. Despite these minor issues, Il Fornaio Irvine remains a reliable choice, offering wonderful service, tasty food, and a well-stocked bar with Beefeater gin. Guests enjoy the outdoor patio area and the selection of Italian wines, such as the Ross di Montalcino. The restaurant is praised for its friendly and attentive staff, as well as the quality of the food, which includes dishes like the Fusilli Salmon Fillet, the bruschette assortite, insalata bietole, and gocchi gratinati. The restaurant also offers excellent meals, such as carbonara, gnocchi, and seafood pasta, and the dark chocolate gelato is highly recommended.
