   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!

   After reading many glowing reviews online, I had high expectations for this restaurant. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The service was subpar, and to top it off, the waiter practically threw the bill onto our table without any courtesy. As for the food, it didn’t live up to the hype and certainly wasn’t worth the high prices. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied and have no desire to return.

    Everyone was kind, thoughtful, and provided great service while giving up space for our lunch meeting. Food was on time and delicious. Thank you!
