    Server was knowledgeable about menu. She was genuine in conversation. Food was very satisfying. Complimentary French bread was fresh. Spouse raved about her pasta seafood dish. For me, the butternut squash soup, Brussels sprouts and caprese salad did not disappoint. Would like to return and try other items. Some of the dishes served at adjoining tables looked great.

    Our server was attentive, but not intrusive. Our selections from the menu were perfection. This is not our first time at Il Fornaio, and will continue to patronize this restaurant. Ten stars says it all. Thank you for making our birthday celebration special.
