    This is still one of the best restaurants in Placer County after many years in the Roseville Galleria Mall complex. It's a place for special occasions or family dinners that rarely occur. The food is consistently excellent, we had the sea bass ($46), porterhouse filet ($45) and a linguini pasta dish with shrimp, scallops, and mussels in a red sauce ($32). We enjoyed all of these tasty entrees, along with a bottle of Chianti Classico Reserva ($68). The environment is elegant and quiet in all of the rooms, with the notable exception of the room that fronts the kitchen counter area, which is very noisy and not recommended.

    The food was not up to par and the menu selections were too limited. It is very cheesy to charge for bread while raising all your prices. We are long time customers and will not be dining there again.

    25 years as a customer with his chain restaurant. Each restaurant used to have its twist on the menu and daily specials I’ll bet mostly identical The quality of food has declined sharply since Covid lukewarm delivery, copious amounts of sauces and over cooked fish. The ambience is the only continuous perk of this chain restaurant $400 for seven people and no drinks. If there’s food with spectacular as if years ago I would’ve spent 500 Saturday. This is not the case.

    Food was exceptional as always. Seated immediately ahead of our reservation. The only drawback was our service. Apologizing once for delay of service for being busy would have sufficed. More than once is drawing more attention to it. Overall still, one of our top five in Sacramento/Roseville area.

    Our waiter was most understanding that my 98 year-old father had limited ability to sit in a restaurant. He rushed our order, brought it promptly and got us the bill so we could be on our way. I didn't catch his name, but he had a ponytail and told me he understood my situation because he had once worked in an assisted living community. He is a credit to your organization.

    Food major disappointment. Overcooked fish. Undercooked calamari. Sautéed spinach tasteless glob. And to switch mashed potatoes to pasta meant $7 over charge. And prices were definitely not reasonable for the product. Have been coming here for years and this was most disappointing visit ever. Perhaps this was the Mother’s Day rush. People were great and we love the ambiance. But that was only saving grace this time.

    Nice ambiance. Staff was friendly but we had two different waiters which was a little confusing. We had duck with rissoto (ok but not great; rissoto was rather bland). Tirramasu for dessert was good.

    This restaurant has declined. The food is over-sauced. Hard to enjoy the pasta with so much sauce which overpowers all other flavors. It looks more and more run down. Aging carpet, outside wicker chairs are used for the "window" seats inside. For a $250 bill for 4 (1 appetizer, 4 entrees, 2 drinks - hardly no alcohol in a $14 drink). Have to pay for bread separately now-- really? In an Italian restaurant? They tack on an "employee benefits" 3% up charge. Really classless in a supposed upscale restaurant. Really disappointed.

    Dined there Sat. 5/1. The service staff are very nice, attentive without being overwhelming. BUT. The food was mediocre at best. Had the beet salad (me & wife). Greens were not fresh, dressing bitter, beets tasteless. Next up was the Cristina pizza (fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, shaved grana padano, arugula, etc.). The topping ingredients were actually pretty good. HOWEVER. The pizza dough itself was tasteless, under cooked (no leoparding on the cornice or underneath). It resembled a soft tortilla more than a pizza. Maybe it was a bad night. Hard pressed to try it again. NOTE: Was at the Santa Clara location in 2019. Was very good. That was what gave us hope this restaurant would be OK as well.

    I ordered the breast chicken/funghi. Chicken was overcooked and dry. The waiter was not very nice and ignored us throughout. He paid attention to the rest of his customers. This was the worst meal I’ve had there. I was tempted to send my food back but I decided not to. I had about three bites and left the rest. Very bad experience

    Mixed grill had no flavor whatsoever. When we moved here from San Francisco in 2006 the food was excellent, and tasted Italian. There have been some excellent Roseville Il Fornaio kitchens since but this one is not one of them.

    I had lunch with a couple of friends at Il Fornaio recently. We were disappointed that they no longer offer a lunch menu, which used to consist of a special salad and sandwich, among other things. But we all found something on the menu we all enjoyed: the Tartara di Tonno. It was just the right portion size, and it was absolutely delicious. I will gladly visit for lunch again just to have that appetizer.

    We waited for a long time to get our app and bread and there really just was a lack of effort from our server. This definitely didn’t feel like fine dining which was a disappointment as it was the first time I had been there and will likely be my last.

    Not great service . Server seemed very busy .. nice but forgot things . I think they were short handed . The food was ok . Caesar salad was dry. My friends seafood platter was cold . I had halibut it was tough. My husbands chicken was dry . Calamari was good . The drinks were the best thing . I had a malino mule . Overall for the money not a great experience. Could have been an off night ?

    Our server was very good. From beginning to end, we appreciated her attentiveness and responsiveness to a special request. This was a special occasion and the food we both ordered was the Osso Buco, which is, if not the most expensive item on the menu, the next to most expensive item. From the first taste, it was over salted. Afterwards my companion described his was dried out, not at all the tender mouthwatering Osso Buco we have had in the past here and elsewhere which we anticipated, The wine list is fine and the food selection is generally quite good. They have gotten away with any salad other than the Romain only Cesar usually good but all the rest are arugula, which is fine if you like arugula, but not so much if you don’t. I would recommend ordering off the specials menu as we have had many fine meals from it.
