Step inside Il Fornaio and take a culinary journey through Italy. Early mornings bring rustic, crisp crusted bread hot from the oven accompanied by the scent of fresh brewed espresso. During lunch and dinner hours, pastas and flavorful sauces simmer while meats and vegetables roast over hot coals. Bottles of wine from small, regional wineries are uncorked to complement the dishes, which have been crafted in the custom of Italy’s chefs, bakers and homemakers. Il Fornaio means the Baker in Italian. This award-winning restaurant offers an authentic and unique Italian dining experience. Specialties include wood-fired rotisserie and grilled meats, poultry and game; housemade pastas; pizzas from an oak wood burning oven; fresh salads and housemade soups; a wide variety of desserts; and fresh baked bread made daily from scratch. Repeat winner of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

Our waiter started out friendly but became progressively rude. He seemed upset that we did not order drinks, shared three entrees and one appetizer among four people (two kids and two adults) and did not order dessert. At the end of our meal he threw down our check and walked away and did not say usual things like thanks for dining with us or hope you had a nice meal. I would expect waiters to be courteous to all customers and not just the ones that will give them the biggest tip. Very disappointed at Il Fornaio Beverly Hills.

We have been enjoying Il Fornaio for many years. When we were renovating our kitchen, we made almost a daily visit. Same staff who we have seen for years always have a friendly greeting. Our waiter gave an honest opinion about specific menu items (instead of saying everything was great). If you are in Beverly Hills for breakfast, lunch or dinner, we highly recommend Il Fornaio. Our only criticism, they used to provide a variety of in-house baked breads. Evidently when they expanded the back room, they must have removed their bread oven. Now they charge for a basic french bread.

Did not enjoy the food. Especially the pizza-the dough seemed like fried.

Food was good but expensive for quality. Our waiter detracted from the experience and made us feel like we were in a fast food restaurant.

The food was excellent and it came out hot and fresh. We had Calamari and it was delicious. Also the Gnocchi with sausage in a cream sauce. Very tasty. The wait staff was attentive and the evening went well. Had a wonderful early Sunday dinner before the crowd showed up,

Great location near Rodeo and pleasant —we were greeted by several people, including the manager. The food was good, especially the braised beef ravioli. My glass of Coppola Cabernet was excellent.
