- JJulieVIPOrange County •23 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe so miss Il Fornaio in Pasadena, so we decided that we needed comfort food while evacuated. It was great! The food was delicious and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Thanks for a lovely peaceful evening after this devastating week.More infoIl Fornaio - IrvinePrice: Moderate• Italian• Irvine•4.6

- DDeAnnaHawaii •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe stuffed squash blossoms were unique and tasty. I shared my salad which was kale and spinach with goat cheese and persimmons which was all light but very favorable and not too sweet. The service was exceptional.More infoCUCINA enoteca - IrvinePrice: Moderate• Italian• Irvine•4.6
- BBrendaVIPLos Angeles •36 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoFood is fabulous - best eggplant parmigiana I've had in ages - no breading that I can tell and totally cheesy with a wonderful marinara sauce. Capraccio di mango was very good and I appreciated the addition of shaved artichokes and generous shavings of parmesano reggiano. Service was weird - very quiet at the time, but kept having to flag the waiter down for items or refills. Our first trip there, service by a young lady was excellent, so wont let this stop me from coming back, but it was definitely less than warm, friendly or welcoming. I like the patio seating best!More infoOliver’s TrattoriaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Irvine•4.8
