Il Fornaio

Reviewed By Sanford A

Another amazing meal at Il Fornaio with incredible service and large, tasty portions. I went off menu tonight and ordered the duck special with a citrus sauce that was covering the plate and absolutely delicious and crispy. Just the way duck should be served. It came with a ton of vegetables and potatoes and could easily have been shared. We had several pasta dishes including the gnocchi and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and delicious. We started with the antipasto platter. A great and very filling meal! It’s the perfect place to go after landing at John Wayne Airport, just 5” away.

Francoli Gourmet

Reviewed By citronjimmerz

Francoli was not our first choice on Sunday night. We arrived in Tustin at 5:30 PM, to our thinking to have a nice Italian meal at our go to place. Knowing the menu by heart, we already knew what the order would be. The usual parking issues of a popular spot, but when we approached the receptionist, and we saw people dining inside, we were told that due to an emergency, they were closed for the evening. Curious, asking what was the problem, we were turned away without explanation. But returning to the wet parking lot, water seemed to be coming up from the manhole cover marked sewer, but with no smell. So, racking our collective brains, almost headed back to Newport Beach, then remembered Francoli where we had not been in many years. Last time I had thought that they were a bit overpriced. Overcoming the traffic at the Circle in Orange, it was crowded with photographers and a few women looking like models, scattered here and there, we were seated on the patio. The sidewalks, crowded with onlookers of every description, the people watching was in high gear. Then came the vehicles, one out of ten seemed to have unusually loud mufflers, coupled with the sound system playing every Italian Tenor singing their hearts out. It was a bit much, not a quite evening. Onto the food. The split of sparklingly and the Chanti were good. She had lemon chicken, served with an unusual pairing of mashed potatoes, I made a mistake by asking for an extra side of sausage in my Spaghetti Bolognese. It was a large meat dish with some pasta. The salad had been terrific, tomatoes and Buffalo Mozzarella. Overall, would I go back, not sure until I finish the leftovers. Possibly if someone takes us and just has to go there.

We stopped in after a convention. Waited about 15 mins at the table and no one came over. There was plenty of staff walking around however no one stopped over to even acknowledge us. We got up and decided to take our business elsewhere.

Had a take out pizza for lunch - pizza is made in front of you and you can choose to make your own or pick from the menu. The employees were great, though the restaurant seating was not as great as it looked on the website. Overall pizza was delicious even after walking it back to the hotel.

There were six of us having dinner together and a very busy Saturday night. The restaurant has a great deal where you order your dinner and you get a take-home meal for free. How can you beat that? The service was excellent and the food was very tasty. I would’ve given it five stars except for the noise....
