   I didn’t know it was buffet only. When we arrived no one told us it was buffet only. We were seated in the way back, with zero utensils. Zero directions on where the buffet was , anything. And 15 min later they told us there are no menus it’s buffet only. Then I had to find someone to show us where the buffet is because our server didn’t bother to show us the room. The food is good. Will be back. But service is meh.

   We go here a lot on special and regular days. Just bummer you have to pay for parking. I used giftcard I purchased from Il Forniao. Waiter are not so familiar processing it end up another person helping. Other wise service is good. Food okay. They have downsize a lot on ther buffet.

   I’ve eaten here several times. I like the architecture, it’s old world charm. Their food is always excellent. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner in 2024. I guess it’s one of those days that service is a bit wanting. Today, we went for lunch to celebrate my nephew’s graduation. Our waiter didn’t give us a cocktail list and didn’t ask if we wanted bread (since we wanted both). We had some pasta and weren’t offered Parmesan nor pepper as most restaurants do. I couldn’t say he was busy as there were only 6 tables occupied. I would still eat there again but I hope to receive better service next time.

   It's a great location in downtown San Jose!! Walkable to California Theatre, National Civic, Hammer Theater, SJ Convention Ctr, Center for the Performing Arts, and a 20-25min walk to SAP Ctr (Shark Tank!!)!!!

   Really enjoyed Il Fornaio in San Jose! Went there for a Saturday lunch. It was in a pretty building that looked vintage with beautiful tall ceilings, nice ambiance, and window seating. The service was impeccable. They continually kept our water glasses filled without us asking. The food was delicious. Ordered the octopus appetizer, pear salad with chicken, and beet salad with salmon. Appetizer was delicious...octopus cooked perfectly! Firm, but not chewy...very flavorful. It was chopped and tossed with other unexpected things like potatoes, greens, and other vegetables. Both salads were great! Salmon and chicken were cooked perfectly. The pear salad was the best pear salad I've ever had! The pears were warm and tasted of hints of cinnamon. Very great experience! I would definitely go back! The other items I saw being served to other customers looked delicious...even better looking in real life than the pictures online. Great job Il Fornaio San Jose!

   It wasn’t a busy night, so the waiter was very nice and split our check 6 ways. Normally they do 3 checks per table he said. Good food, very nice wine selections!

   We went there after a mantinee performance at the San Jose performing arts center. We got there at 2:20. Our lunch was very good however when we tried to order dessert we were informed that the kitchen has been closed. We were given no warning of the imminent closure and would have ordered dessert early had we known. Also I had tried earlier in the week to change our reservation time and called three times but no one answered. I had called during regular open hours. In short food is good but service is lacking

   The food was amazing but the service was only average. Our waiter was very busy with other tables and kept us waiting a few times (to place our order or bring us the check). He forgot to offer us Parmesan cheese on our pasta entrees and failed to mention that they had run out of the lava cake when he brought us the dessert menus. The overall experience was amazing, however. It was a wonderfully quiet place to catch up with an old friend, taste authentic Italian food, and relax in the ambiance of what feels like an Italian villa. We will definitely be back! I love Il Fornaio!

   We had dinner before seeing a performance at the Center for Performing Arts. We enjoyed our food and wine. The service was excellent. It was a Saturday night and there were several people waiting for a table so we were very glad that we had made a reservation.

    Our Easter brunch was a great experience. Delicious food choices, well-prepared, and well-presented. Everything was hot and of good quality. One exception...the dessert table could be better...everything was made out of cake, so not much choice there. Service was very good. The charge of parking our vehicle with the valet was the only down-side. Twenty dollars (after validation from front desk) for the guests who spent a little over an hour in the restaurant. Hmmm...not cool.
