I've been here several times. I recommend the Tagliata Chianina and the apple crepes for dessert . Use opentable.com for reservations and recommend a terrace spot with a view of the sunset .
There’s something for everyone at Il Fornaio—from a purist who only wants spaghetti and meat sauce to a more daring Italian connoisseur eager for pasta with mussels , clams , garlic and wine sauce .
I'm visiting the area and this was a beautiful restaurant to go to. The food was delicious! The scenery is impeccable. However, the waitstaff was kinda slow on a pretty dead lunch period.
Best Place in Town . I am from EUROPE and i know everything about the best Italian kitchen!!
Tuna salad was fantastic, tagliatelle bolognese , minestrone and the chicken were very good. The service was unbearably slow.
Great food and awesome view of Del Mar beach
Simply the best view in all of san diego. the food is good and very affordable considering the view . An upgrade in the clientele is well deserved
The first place I ever tried Carpaccio..and loved it! Rotating regional menu makes for lots of choices. Super busy on weekends as right next to open patio bar . Make reservations . Read more

Middle of the road "Italian" food. Probably what you would expect from a chain. Avoid the soggy, skimpy bruschetta .
