Il Fornaio Manhattan Beach

"I love this place! Very intimate setting. Really provides an Italian ambiance, from the music, to the architecture of the restaurant, the food, the service, the color scheme. I highly recommend. The food is very delicious, I had a light salad because I get full fast, however the Salmon was very tasty."

"Had a great time with family to celebrate birthday. Entrees & service far exceeds our expectations! Ambience totally the best in the South Bay Area. Specialty Eggplant appetizer & Lamb Chops, LINGUINE MARE CHIARO, and SALMONE ALLA GRIGLIA entrees are the best; prepared with care & excellence! Kudos to the chefs & service crew!"

"The place is very good. You can go there on an intimate and romantic date or just to have a few cocktails and appetizers on any given weekend. The service is courteous, attentive and very professional without leaving friendliness aside."

"So my girl & I went there on a "spur of a moment thing" when she got back from Colorado the atmosphere was nice, it was a late lunch for us so it wasn't crowded yet i had steak...yes rib eye steak at a Italian restaurant, it was cooked perfectly portion was a nice size the asparagus cooked & seasoned even better(my favorite) but the steak just needed a little more flavor in my opinion, my girl thought opposite, we different palate's, she enjoyed a pasta dish (unfortunately i can't remember the name) also had cocktails that were pretty good if your from Italy (little bitter for my taste) dessert was awesome...this is a "come again" place for us to try other items."

"We are always looking to find a new spot to try and this was the place we went with. Was a nice spot to dine in at. My pasta was good, staff was friendly and attentive. Wasn't really worth the price of what was ordered but overall it was a nice time out."
