   Lunch crowd was not large so dining area noise level was very low, which was very nice. Started with calamari fritti that was superb as usual; light and tender and wonderful marinara sauce. My friend had risotto and I had lasagna , which were very good. Definitely a repeat customer.

   Perhaps the best restaurant in Burlingame and the Peninsula.

   Always a great experience; and seems like they are improving over time. Great quality food, good selection and solid service. A solid choice for an evening out or lunch.

   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.
