    I had Gilberto as a Server tonight and couldn't be more delighted. My guest and I enjoyed a wine flight and a variety of dishes. Thank you Gilberto for giving a great experience. We enjoyed a nice wine flight, gnocci starter (so freaking good), salad, pizza, salmon and dessert. Loved those shots of tequila too! If you go here, ask for Gilberto, Luis or Karen. Each will take great care of you and shout out to the bartender, i forget his name but he has glasses and is awesome! Great experience at Il Fornaio, l can't wait to go back!

    Great food, great music, great people. Had a lovely time, called ahead of time with Amanda and she set us up with Jordan to surprise us with our 4-course meal for the day. Definitely recommend it if you are unsure of what to get. Not my first time here, but after today, definitely felt that a review was needed. Thank you everyone!
