Il Fornaio is a great restaurant on Coronado - great food with a beautiful view! The menu had a great variety and every dish we tried was excellent. The outdoor heaters made sitting outside bearable. The tables are somewhat close together but the overall service, atmosphere, etc. more than made up for it. It's within walking distance of where we... more

The food was wonderful! Finally, someone got Italian right! The calamari was wonderful, lightly breaded and the chicken dish was amazing. I'd like to have a candle of that aroma to burn in my kitchen! Has a nice view right on the bay. Our server was fabulous, she was attentive, and we never had to ask for anything twice. more
