   Our server Gillormo was excellent - above & beyond. We dine at our hometown Il Fornaio on the average three times monthly, but must say the food here tasted better - the calamari, christina pizza & filet mignon you could cut with a toothpick, bread, etc! Very relaxing, no rush upscaled ambience & the lady that seated us was most cordial +.

   Service was great, food good. Only complaint is the noise level in the restaurant. Hard to have a conversation with the people at your table.

   We went to Il Fornaio to celebrate my mother’s 99 year old birthday. The light above the table didn’t shine. The manager was very nice and moved us to another table. He then looked for the waiter to serve us. The waiter was really nice and polite, trying to please us. Food was fantastic and portions were good! We have a wonderful time and they gave my mom a complimentary dessert with a candle and wished her a happy birthday with the song. My mom was very happy and left with a fond memory. We’ll definitely go back for dinners and celebrations to come.

   We have spent many evenings at this restaurant since it's opening and the food is good and pasta dishes are reasonably priced. However, at this visit, all of the pasta dishes were barely warm. The waiter was very personable.

    I love this place And I come here often. I feel that THEY WERE SLAMMED SO it affected these things. Food came out cold. The waitress took forever to order Being drinks , dessert menus and check. I feel like had they not been so busy this wouldn’t have been the case. They told us to be out by 90 minutes. We tried to follow the time frame for the table use but when you don’t get to order on time or get the food fast how could we not have ran over.
