    We told the waiter that we had to be done in 1 hr and 20 min (gave a deadline time) as our party of 4 had another event to attend. Our order was taken immediately. We did not make the deadline and took home remainder of our meal as we did not have time to finish.

    This was my first visit to this location. The restaurant was clean and had nice, up to date furnishings. The server, Liliya was professional and quick. She had suggestions for wine and salads that we were pleased with. One of the managers stopped by and made us feel comfortable and valued. Wonderful lunch with my friend. “I’ll be back!” Peggy

    Solid food, nothing special. Nice atmosphere. Service was pleasant, but not buttoned up - had to clear our plates to make way for next course.

    We have been to different locations of Il Fornaio over the years. The food is good and service as well. It is a nice place for special occasion or a date. I wouldn't consider it as a place for families with young kids but that doesn't mean they aren't allowed. The price was average for an upscale restaurant

    We celebrated a good friend's milestone birthday at Il Fornaio in Mountain View. The restaurant went above and beyond to make our celebration special. They surprised us with the private dining room for eight, which we didn't even know existed. The room was perfect for our group, and the food and service were outstanding. Our waiter was very professional and on top of things. He made sure that we had everything we needed, and that all of our courses were served in a timely manner. The food was delicious, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special dining experience.
