Los Angeles Italian Restaurant Recommendation | Il Fornaio

Recommending a delicious Italian restaurant in Pasadena — Il Fornaio (they also have a location in Beverly Hills!). ✨ The Pasadena location has great ambiance — you can choose to sit indoors or outdoors. If you go in the evening, I highly recommend outdoors. The evening breeze feels lovely, and the string lights create a cozy vibe. Indoor AC can be a bit too chilly. 🍴 Everything I ordered was a hit: ✨ Fried Calamari — crispy and not greasy, served with lemon. ✨ Carpaccio — thinly sliced raw beef with cheese and arugula — tender and refreshing. ✨ Small Pizza — topped with pork, basil, and cheese — so satisfying in every bite. ✨ Spaghetti Bolognese — generous with meat sauce and ground meat. ✨ Desserts are on the sweeter side — maybe go easy on those. 📍 Address: 24 W Union St, Pasadena, CA 91103 🅿️ Parking: Park at the One Colorado garage and ask your server to validate your ticket after the meal. #LARestaurants #LAFood #RestaurantRecommendation #DateNightSpot #VibeDining
