02 / Tonight

Why go tonight.

Order the house-baked bread board on arrival, pick two pastas to share before any entree, and let the wine list drive the second course rather than the first. The pacing is what the room is built around. Couples, anniversaries, and parents off-shift from the kids at the coaster who want a sit-down Italian meal without a Strip-walk find the room here. Tables on a tight clock should consider Chin Chin or Beerhaus.

Locals' angle

Use weekend brunch as the entry point

Weekend brunch is the lower-risk read on Il Fornaio before committing to dinner; it shows the pasta program and bread board at a lower spend than evening service.
