The concept is simple - stay true to authentic Italian recipes. Emphasis is placed on fresh ingredients and Italian cooking methods.
The rotisserie is used for a variety of preparations.
Pizzas are fired in a wood-burning oven.
Fresh pastas are made in-house daily, and dried pastas are imported from Italy.
All meals are complemented by a selection of hand-made breads baked according to traditional methods. The core lunch and dinner menus include a selection of antipasti, soups and salads, woodfired pizzas, house made pastas, grilled and rotisserie roasted meats, and a wide variety of desserts.
In addition to the core menu, two daily menus are prepared showcasing the dishes the Chef would like to highlight for that week-one each at lunch and dinner-featuring local specialties and seasonal produce.
Like the generations of Italian bakers before them, Il Fornaio's bakers create a myriad of traditional breads from the simple palate of flour, water, yeast, and salt. Only the finest and purest ingredients are used, as each bread and dessert is crafted by hand and sold fresh daily. The authenticity of Il Fornaio recipes can be traced back to the original Il Fornaio baking school opened in the Italian village of Barlassina, just outside of Milan. Founded by the Veggetti family, the original Il Fornaio baking school was established to serve as a library of authentic regional recipes as well as a school teaching the traditional method (the "old way") of Italian baking as performed by students' ancestors.
