    We recently moved back in the area and had dinner last night for the first time. In the past, Il Fornaio was our "go to" for special occasions. While the ambiance was still the same (ie: nice surroundings, comfortable booth seating, etc.) the food quality wasn't the same. I used to look forward to the free bread sticks and focaccia bread. Now they charge for a basket of generic baguette bread. I had the weekly special which was linguine with tiger prawns and oysters. The portion was generous and the garlic wine sauce was tasty. DH also had a different weekly special which was brick chicken with potatoes and side salad. The potatoes were way overcooked. Also, he asked for mashed potatoes not country potatoes. He pointed this out to our server when his dish was served. He was hungry so instead of waiting for the mashed potatoes, he went with the country potatoes. Service was pretty good and the manager came over to greet us, so that was nice. Previously, I'd have rated this place 5 stars. I'd say for the prices, it's more like 3.5.

    I’ve eaten here lots of times and had great food. This night the salads were wilted, lacking in other ingredients. We sent one back to the kitchen. Ate the other, but left wanting. My friend said the minestrone was great. Since the salads were our main entrees, we were disappointed.

    We came to celebrate a birthday and couldn’t have asked for better service. Friendly, attentive staff and the food was incredible—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully done. They made the evening feel special. Can’t wait to return to this fantastic restaurant!

    My wife, adult daughter, and I had a wonderful Mother's Day dinner at Il Fornaio in Corte Madera. They had a special menu for the day along with all of the regular favorites. My wife really enjoyed the special cocktail for the day. We all ordered different entrees (beef, fish, chicken), then shared the special dessert for Mother's Day which was delightful. We'll be back!

    All the dishes we ordered were beyond expectations, calling them delicious is an understatement. The service was excellent to match the meal. We sat in the bar area, at our request, and it was perfect.
