    Everything is always great at Il Fornaio-Burlingame. It is one of our favorite restaurants. The ambience is cozy and elegant. Service is excellent. Food and drinks are truly wonderful, full of flavor. The polipo con pat ate is one of the bests we have tasted. The linguine mare chiaro is excellent in flavor but I think the clams and mussels need to be cooked just a little bit more. Usually it’s perfectly cooked. The gnocchi pesto arlecchino is flavorful. The Caesar salad is always satisfying. The battered Cod was okay. (I prefer the batter cooked a little crispier. And the doily on the plate sticks with the fish). The coffee panna cotta al caffe is an excellent way to end the meal. Overall, always a delight to be here.

    A wonderful dining experience! This restaurant is so classy. White table cloths, separate salt and pepper grinders on each table. Very good prices. The Veal Scallopini was beautifully prepared. The house-made Tagliatelle pasta with Prawns featured five jumbo prawns in a delicious sauce. We had the Affogato for dessert, always presented in a tall martini glass and oh so flavorful, the best version in my area. Perfect service from our waiter, Antonio, made it for a memorable evening. Bravo to all!
