How lucky we were to find Il Fornaio!

How lucky we are that we stumbled upon Il Fornaio! Planning a wedding and rehearsal dinner from out of state can seem overwhelming and stressful. They made it easy and fun. I had to let go of some details and trust the staff, which was difficult for me, and I was so, so pleasantly surprised with EVERYTHING. The food was amazing, the venue beautiful and the service friendly and impeccable. I can't thank Il Fornaio enough for making the evening amazing! If I were to do it all over, I wouldn't change a thing!

We are an older couple who held our wedding reception at Il Fornaio's Enoteca. Everything could not have gone more smoothly! Our event was perfect from beginning to end. The set up, the food, and the service were all fantastic and exceeded our (high) expectations. In particular, Lisa proved an invaluable resource for us; she was organized, efficient, friendly and a joy to work with. Thank you to everyone at Il Fornaio!

I cannot say enough about the professional staff and services at Il Fornaio, Del Mar. In the past year I have had the pleasure of photographing two weddings at their venue. Each time, I was completely blown away with how the brides and grooms made the venue their own. There are so many beautiful little areas for photographs and the view from the main deck is spectacular. Great view, friendly staff and delicious food!
