In Italy, restaurants are more than just places to eat, they are the gathering places of choice for the communities they serve. At Il Fornaio, we strive to serve this important purpose. Il Fornaio Coronado offers elegant private and semi-private dining space along with a wide range of specialized menus and services to match our authentic, award-winning Italian cuisine.
Il Fornaio Coronado is located at the Ferry Landing Marketplace at the water’s edge, with a fabulous view of the downtown San Diego skyline from the interior dining rooms and exterior patios.
