Reviews for Il Fornaio in Woodland Hills, CA
Amazing!!! They clearly make their pasta and bread from scratch. In fact the bread was so good, we ordered more for our pasta.... Oh and the pasta sizes are pretty decent! Read more
Everything was delicious and it was my first time coming here. Definitely going back to try some other stuff on the menu. And... the staff was polite. Made a reservation for 5 pm on a Saturday because it is always full. Good thing I did so because shortlyafter arrival the place began to get full. Read more
We went here with our friends who have a young child, they didn't have booster seats, but they have booths, so we sat there.... They do have a kids menu and an activity paper for kids to scribble on with crayons. Unfortunately, our friends child was sickand started throwing up, luckily the staff was quick to bring a togo box and extra napkins! The food was really tasty, I lovebutternut squash and I had to get this dish as I also saw it had pomogranite arils as well. My husband's vodka pasta was verytasty too! Read more
I was with my family, four of us. We ordered seafood as appetizers, sea food as main course and drinks as well. The seafood was... good, small portions, but good. We ordered pasta bolognese as appetizer also. The sauce was not made fresh and you could notfeel the meat in it, let alone that pasta was overcooked. You are not in NY so prepare to pay for bread and oil ($2.00). At theend, I ordered an espresso and I got a “very bad looking espresso”: no only the foam was missing but also, it looked likesomeone drank it before it was served to me. I asked the waiter, who was very polite, why the espresso was like someone drankit? He asked inside and the manager came over and she said that she made a double espresso by mistake but she took half of itout of the cup since she saw the order that it was single espresso. I was surprised with her answer. So, she took the foam outof it, instead of making a new one, and it looked like someone drank it and then, they served it to me. I was shocked by heranswer. Instead of offering something else or something on the house for her mistake, she admitted what she did. I’m still inshock, in a big restaurant where I spent a good amount of money for the food, someone take the coffee out of your cup instead ofthrowing it away and making a new one. Never in New York. The espresso that was served to me which I turned it, it is shown onthe picture below. Read more
Wonderful wine list, fresh made pasta and to top off the evening, best Affogato coffee-based dessert. You must try it. Always... a great experience when we have visited this location. Staff were friendly and well educated about the wine offerings. Read more
One of my favorite and go to restaurants when I want a tasty meal, great service and a night with no stress. We usually go in... Tuesday or Wednesday night and sit at the bar top. Iohana and Enrique make well balanced drinks and have great winerecommendations. Carlos always makes sure our food is out asap! The manager Jessica is attentive, friendly and makes a meanespresso martini (espresso brewed fresh!). My favorite is the Linguine Mare Chiaro (pasta with clams, mussels, prawns &scallops in delicious red sauce with garlic and wine). Always tasty, fresh and seasoned right. Seasonal favorite Norcino conpollo (chicken, truffle oil, mushrooms, & the creamiest sauce. We sub pasta instead of gnocchi, but both are worthit). There's a specials list that ranges with complexity and flavor. From a caprese to ravioli brasino. You really can't gowrong with anything you choose. Basically, come here to eat, drink, and be happy.
