Il Fornaio Happy Hour

A $10 craft cocktail and a $15 wood-fired pizza at a Strip Italian restaurant certified authentic by the Italian government. The Il Fornaio happy hour at New York-New York runs every single day — not just weekdays — and the bar menu is genuinely worth sitting down for.

Order This:

• Pizza Fra Diavola — $15 — spicy tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil; the bar pizza that punches above its price
• Polpettine — $14 — beef meatballs with tomato sauce, fresh ricotta, and grana padano; order two
• Cavolfiori — $14 — fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and parmigiano reggiano; the sleeper hit
• Como Spritz — $10 — gin, elderflower liqueur, prosecco, cucumber, lemon; the right call if you’re here before dinner
• Italian & Domestic Beer — $8 / Wine by the Glass — $9

The happy hour at Il Fornaio runs every day from 2–6 PM, bar area only. Il Fornaio was awarded the “Marchio Ospitalità Italiana” certification by the Italian government — a designation that confirms its adherence to authentic Italian culinary standards. That’s not marketing copy. It’s a credential. On the Strip, inside NYNY, this is one of the more quietly serious Italian programs you’ll find — and the daily happy hour window is wide enough to actually use. 🍕

Bar seating only. No reservations needed. Every day, 2–6 PM.
