    Going to Il Fornaio was a treat! They welcomed us a bit slowly. I say this because we had a reservation, yet our table was not ready when we arrived. But once we sat down to eat, the service was incredible. Their Valentine's Day menu made it hard to select. But with the help of the waitress, we enjoyed every bit of our meal. It melted in our mouths. Multiple servers assisted us during our meal. It was the start of a perfect evening. Thank you
