REVIEWS review pending approval - SkQfRHlbWE posted Thursday, January 22, 2009 "The BEST Bruschetta Pomodoro EVER!!!! I will drive there from my home in Palm Springs just for that alone. Every item I've had the pleasure of enjoying there has been highest quality and great flavor. Do yourself and a loved one a favor, some warm evening splurge a bit. Experience a patio table under the stars in Old Town Pasadena, IT IS WORTH IT !" - johnb posted Friday, October 22, 2004 "Great place to take your date and you will probably get laid later in the evening. Sit in the patio area. Food is ok but the service is very good." - WT posted Friday, October 22, 2004 "The best of the dozen or so otherwise indistinguishable Italian restaurants in Old Town--also the most expensive. Nice service, the chef has good ideas, and there's usually a regional cuisine or some other "theme" special on offer. A pleasant spot for a special occasion, and I'd be willing to go again, but you can probably find at least as good food or better for the price if you are willing to hunt around." - rwp posted Friday, October 22, 2004 "The food is ok; nothing really special, TOTALLY overrated. The service is terrible during lunch, i can only imagine dinner. I don't care to ever return. " - LAL posted Wednesday, May 19, 2004 "Our food was fine and overall we made a good experience out of our dinner but I can't say I'd give this place a reccommendation -- our food was good but not worth what we paid for it and our waiter was the definition of pretension. I'm new to the area so maybe this is standard fare here -- I sure hope not!" - tjb posted Tuesday, June 17, 2003
"Bad food, pretentious service.The Mediteranean diet does not mean a salad of wilted greensfloating in olive oilUgh,chef,go back to your hole,where ever it is.Certainly not Italy!" - CLS posted Thursday, October 12, 2000 "Too expensive and too noisy for mediocre food and service." - mef posted Thursday, September 28, 2000 "Sorry. I disagree with all the good reviews. This place is highly overrated!!! The pretension of the waitstaff is laughable. What really sealed my opinion of this place is when a waiter took an unused (thank God!) spoon from my son's place setting and gave it to another patron with his dessert!! What a buffoon!! I assure you, that waiter had no way of knowing whether or not that silverware had been handled by my son. Disgusting - and in a restaurant where our meal for three was over $100!!!" - smj posted Friday, February 18, 2000 "fun setting with terrific lobster filled pasta" - A posted "Superb Italian! Casual-elegant, with euro-style decoration inside and a nice patio area. The menu has offerings more varied and adventurous than your usual fancy Italian place. The Penne Arribiata is perfectly spiced. A friend who lived in Italy says the flavors are very authentic, but authentic or not, everything is delicious. Great place to impress a date, or treat a spouse!" - JC posted "Il Fornaio won't disappoint. The ambience is great as is the the food. Splurge when dining here. From the appetizer, to the main course to dessert. Well worth it. Try the turtei con aragosta and polenta e funghi (a fall dish,but a good appetizer). MH" - M posted
