Great Italian food with stunning views of downtown
Enjoy a beautifully prepared Il Fornaio feast on the water in Coronado and you'll almost feel like you're dining on the Italian coast. Well, except for that gorgeous view of downtown SD.

WOW!

Coronado holds a culinary gem and its name is IL Fornaio. Our Italian waiter was a caricature sent by the Gods speaking with classic Italian hand gestures that were as authentic as the exquisite polenta on my plate. The place is huge, a Palace of restaurants with sweeping views of S.D. sky line and private rooms for parties also a full bar and outdoor patio seating. Food, Service, Presentation all Excellent. The complimentary hot fresh rosemary rolls and sourdough sliced bread were heaven. For four mouth watering meals, Bellini, 2 Italian bears (that's beers not bears) LMAO, mineral water, 1 large orange juice (fresh) and two deserts the bill came to $115. The meal and the experience worth every last cent in my opinion. To get here you can drive over the bridge of course or take the Ferry from the San Diego water front which pretty much drops you off right next door.
