Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Mid-Wilshire

My family loves Il Fornaio for the ambience and food choices. We have been to LA, Irvine and San Diego places. Today’s pasta was a bit over cooked (Christmas Day), but my daughter’s salmon was perfectly cooked and so was the pizza, otherwise everything’s great, including the calamari and prosciutto appetizers.

Delicious food and absolutely lovely service. The red snapper schnitzel is absolutely scrumptious. I’ll continue going back.

We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.

The atmosphere was delightful. Service was friendly, prompt, engaging and very attentive for such a large group. The food didn't disappoint we were thrilled with the entrees. The team had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this location for large groups.

Wonderful salads, & the staff is nice & most accommodating. I’ve been eating here a long time—glad the pizzas are back! xo
