Il Fornaio Manhattan Beach

Our waitress was attentive, but I felt it was a bit rude that she couldn’t wait just one minute for us to sit down and take off our coats before diving into questions and discussing the specials. Additionally, we noticed the prices have risen significantly and are becoming out of our budget. However, we did appreciate the nice $45 prix fixe menu, which was a pleasant option. While the food was good and the service was nice, we left feeling conflicted and uncertain about returning, especially since we drove all the way from San Pedro for dinner. It's a little disappointing to say the least.

As always, the service was excellent. The food and wine selection was impressive, and I especially appreciated the wide variety of wines available by the glass.

I always have a great experience here. It's one of my favorite spots in town. I'll definitely be returning soon.

Lasagna was soooo good! Caesar salad was just okay. Service was amazing. Super clean and great ambience!

Staff will try to up sell you on water. The salads are way over priced for lettuce and stale croutons. For dinner I ordered the ravioli and was very disappointed, serving size was tiny maybe 6 raviolis and the raviolis themselves taste like they come out of the frozen section of a grocery store. My girlfriend ordered the fusilloni pasta with chicken added the chicken was dry and bland and the pasta was undercooked. Basically spent $100 for throw away food.
