    Great server, very nice meal. The place was more lively on the inside than the outside suggested. In a good way.

    Excellent service, food and booth comfort. Today 2 of us enjoyed pasta, salad and bread. It was a lovely lunch. I would definitely go to this location again.

    The initial table for 3 that we were offered was in a busy walkway but when we asked for a table further away, we were quickly ushered to a cozy booth! My fear of being placed in a booth is being forgotten, but our amazing server, Sanjeev, never forgot about us and stopped by frequently. We were undecided, and he was patient while we asked questions and took our time. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. The recommended Prosecco was not the most expensive, not even mid, and it was delicious! We made the best choice in coming to Il Fornaio to celebrate my mom’s 82nd birthday. We will continue to return. Thank you, Sanjeev!
