Best Casual Restaurants in Santa Clara

The food and drinks were good and the environment was great the only problem I had was that my waiter didn’t inform me he will be leaving for the day and had to wait for the other server for about 20 minutes to get our next drink. Other than that everything was great.

We went for our valentine dine in experience and we couldn’t be more pleased to have Litzy as our server. Her kindness and enthusiasm was everything. Also Mike/michael serving the tequila shots was such a gentleman.

It was a busy valentines evening and unfortunately the kitchen had a problem with their system which messed our order up so I came at all different times. Instead of a hollow apology the server and their manager looked after us and more than made up for the problem. Great customer service.

**A Wonderful Dining Experience at Il Fornaio - Santa Clara!** Our dinner at Il Fornaio - Santa Clara was made extra special by our fantastic server, John Orrock. From the moment we sat down, John greeted us with a warm smile and genuine friendliness. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring that everything was perfect throughout our meal. What truly impressed us was that he even remembered my husband from a visit a year ago—such a personal touch! The food was absolutely delicious! My seafood linguine was a standout—the prawns and scallops were huge, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat! Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere—thank you, John, for making our evening so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!
