   Amazing experience from start to finish. We were there for my aunt's birthday and we wanted to eat somewhere where they had views of the city and water. The staff was super attentive and friendly. They kept adjusting the umbrella accordingly as the sun was setting. We never felt rushed and our waitress went above and beyond in making my aunt's day special. She made wonderful suggestions over the food and dessert. The appetizers, entrees and drinks were delicious. The tiramisu cake was perfect. Overall 10/10 experience.

   Service was attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Our party of three all had pasta dishes, and each was excellent. We've eaten here often and never been disappointed. Plus, good parking and a great city-scape view.

   First it was not crowded in the bar or the restaurant overall. We arrived early for our dinner reservation so we decided to have a drink in the bar. We sat at a table in the bar for close to 10 minutes without anyone addressing us so I walked to the bar to see if I needed to order at the bar and the girl bartender said she would come take our order so I went back to sit down and wait, and wait, and wait, etc. A few minutes later the older gentlemen acknowledged us by bringing us water. After waiting another 10 minutes sitting there without having a server address us we went to the hostess and were seating for dinner. For dinner our waiter started out ok but after we got our meal we kind of felt ignored, I had to flag a busboy down to get refilled and water and wine and our finished plates just sat there waiting to be cleared. Again I emphasize, its a Monday evening and the place was NOT that crowded.

    Terrific location poor food quality and quantity. I reserved reservations with open table and we were seated promptly. We were sat outside on the patio and had great weather and terrific view of the bay. However, there was only (1) server for all parties of approximately six table and (20) people. Brandon did his best but needed more help. The food was poor. I ordered a pasta with vodka sauce and bacon. When it arrived it looked like Kraft instant Mac n Cheese from when I was a child 45 years ago. Great view, poor food and service. Many other options across the bay in Gaslamp!!!

    Food was really good but the service wasn’t. Everyone was kind but I asked about the kids pasta and they told me the past was a different type then what was served. When the waiter came to clean the table he put a bunch of dirty cutlery from other clients on my plate and then star to clean the table. The seats were dirty when we arrive at the table and e even with a reservation, we waited for 20 minutes to be seated.

    Amazing Italian on the waterbfrint with views of San Diego harbor and the city. Service was spot on and the waiter paced our meal to our desired timing since we wanted to take our time. Homemade pasta was delicious as.were the ceaser salads and bread. Will definitely return!

    It is very cold in the restaurant by the window to see the view because the Kitchen is in the middle of the building. We do love Il Fornaio and have been going there over 20 years.

    I love this restaurant for many reasons: view; food; ambiance; and often the service. This time, however, I was disappointed when our waiter asked if we wanted dessert while we were still actively eating our main course. If I was to be super picky this, too, was an unusual experience: I ordered wine and specifically asked to have it served with the main course. My glass came out a few moments after our order was taken. All of this said, I will enthusiastically return and recommend Il Fornaio.

    I am a vegetarian, the selection was so limited and yet Italian has the greatest opportunity of providing a generous selection. The service, ambiance and city views are great. Been coming for years not so much for the food which for me is average but for location and service.

    We had a fantastic dinner! Our waiter, I wish I could remember his name, was outstanding! We celebrated a birthday, and not only did we receive the customary complimentary dessert, he also gave us bruschetta on the house! Food was delicious, as well. Lastly, we wanted a slow relaxing dinner, and they granted our wish for that as well!

    Waitress seemed almost distracted, couldn't answer basic questions about menu choices. Didn't check back often enough and when she did, it took way too long to bring what we asked for. The menu choices were much more limited than on previous visits. Food quality was excellent. The guy busing the table seemed much more knowledgeable about menu items and prompt about refilling water and asking if we needed anything. Will think twice about returning.
