This is a complete list of all IL Fornaio locations, along with their geographic coordinates. IL Fornaio is a chain of Italian-themed fine dining restaurants operating across the United States. The IL Fornaio brand was established in 1972 as a baking school in Barlassina, Italy (in the Lombardia region).  Each restaurant features a bakery that bakes its own bread. There is a core menu for all of the restaurants created collectively by their chefs, plus signature dishes and specials at the discretion of each chef. In addition, the group markets ciabatta, sourdough, and other bread to supermarkets throughout California.
