    We were seated right away. Ambience is good - nice Christmas decorations. Food was great - there's just a little wait for the food to be served. Overall - great dining place!

    This ilFornaio is our favorite location in San Jose. Menus selections are the same, however the staff at this location really work as a team. Seamless transition of service from the waitress to the food delivery made our experience enjoyable. I can’t forget the supporting cast members who provide requested items (water, bread, condiments), again an enjoyable celebration of my wife’s birthday. Thank You

    Flavorless food. Rude service. Taking plates away before people were anywhere close to done. You got the sense you were a number and nothing more. Very disappointing.
