    This was the one and time the kitchen was super slow in getting one out of four meals to our table… such a surprise to me as the service is normally spot on here. However, our waitress, Liz, handled the problem well and with a lot of patience with our obvious irritation! She gets a gold star for sure!

    We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Il Fornaio. We appreciated that they had both Thanksgiving and regular options, and that the Thanksgiving feast could be prix fixe or a la carte. The food was great, but wasn't hot as we would have liked. Everything else was delicious. My friend said the ham was a little dry. Great cocktails and wine list. Our server Candy was outstanding. Very friendly and responsive. She was delightful. Nice interior, and the noise level was comfortable and had a very convivial buzz. We were really glad we chose Il Fornaio for Thanksgiving.

    The food here is delicious and pasta cooked perfectly al dente. The service could improve by providing a more elevated level of interaction and communication. Our server referred to myself as well as the male patrons on both tables beside us as “boss.” At the end of our delicious meal our check was mixed up with another table and overcharged as a bottle of wine not ordered was added to our bill. We’ll still continue to eat here as the food is well worth the inconveniences we experienced.
