First of all we like the food at il Formaio. Our disappointment was the service overall. We liked the booth we were seated in. We each ordered a drink. It took 15 minutes. Gave the waiter our starter and main course order. Starter another 15 minutes. After finishing the starter it took 30 minutes to bring the main course. The waiter stopped by 1/2 way before the starter to say that a large party had been placed on front of us taking extra time. The lady from check in next to apologize that it was taking so long. When we got the food it was fine, but we only saw the waiter when we were finished asking about dessert. I said no thanks just the bill. That was the only timely thing all night. I cut my tip in half.

One of our tables dinner arrived cold and even after sending it back to be warmed it wasn't. The server was good but must have had too many tables as he ignored our table at times needed to be asked several times for items before they came. One person ordered lasagna and it was very creamy and excellent. The other dishes were good but not up to their standards.

This used to be such a special restaurant. The food was mediocre. Service was okay. Probably won’t go back. Too bad.

It is always a great experience at our local Il Fornaio. Been going for years. Last night was especially good. A wonderful start to the New Year.

We came here for an early dinner. The place was nice and quiet as it was between lunch and dinner (our favorite time to dine). Our waiter, Stephen, was excellent. The food was very good as was the wine. We will be back soon.

The caesar salad is the best anywhere. Very cold and lots of cheese. Pasta is very good. Dessert, too. The Christmas/New Years decorations were beautiful. We always have great service at Il Fornaio.
