   Always a great experience; and seems like they are improving over time. Great quality food, good selection and solid service. A solid choice for an evening out or lunch.

   I have my birthday celebration with my family at Il Fornaio. It’s a great experience. The service is great and the food is amazing! The fried calamari appetizer and my favorite Chario Marr linguini are absolutely fantastic! At the end, I was treated with an ice cream sundae with a candle. That’s an incredible evening for me. Thank you Il Fornaio!

   As always really enjoyed the visit and the meal. The service is great even when they are busy. I asked for something a little special in my order and they accommodated. Love their customer experience.

   Not great. My salad was bland. The dressing was vinaigrette, but they forgot the vinegar. I had to ask the server for vinegar. He proceeded to dump vinegar on my salad until I grabbed the bottle from him. It was $30 for average greens and a teeny piece of salmon. My husband’s pasta was goopy and not seasoned well. We’re going to stay away for a while.

   Guillermo was fantastic for us! Super service, and the gnocchi was superb; lasagna was creamy and robust.

    The service was really slow, the server was really friendly and attentive but I think they were understaffed since there were many big tables with handful of servers. It took us about 40 min to get the first entree which was a Burrata salad. Food was good though!
