    Always have an exceptional meal at Il Fornaio. My sirloin was cooked exactly as I wanted it and my brother's spaghetti and clams was lovely as well. David is my "go to" server. Always steers me in the right direction when ordering off the special menu.

    I had made reservations for two and we were taken to our table right away upon arrival. Great wine selection and my friend had asked a few questions before she ordered and the waiter explained the menu item to her. Great service and will visit the restaurant again.
