    We had a wonderful dinner tonight. We were celebrating my 8 year old’s birthday and our waitress was amazing! So attentive and sweet and extra attention paid to the birthday girl. The food was delicious as always and the Christmas decorations added to the beautiful ambience.

    This was our one year anniversary dinner. The food was great as well as the service. My only complaint is the prices. Prices for pasta shouldn’t be over $20 a plate. Overall, the experience was great. On a plus we were given a free dessert for our special day. Very thoughtful by Il Fornaio

    Kitchen may have had a staffing problem, and food was slow with the item I often order not tasting as good as it usually does. I will always go back though, since I've been very pleased 99% of my visits.
