I’ll Fornio is a beautiful restaurant. I love the atmosphere. My food was disappointing- I ordered lobster ravioli and it was cold and not very flavorful. I was with my family and they all. Enjoyed their dishes very much. This is the first time I ordered something I did not care for and I would absolutely go back.

The servers were not experienced. I had to ask different things multiple times such as steak knives and plates.

Always a nice experience at Il Fornaio on Santa Clara Square. The waiters and waitresses, also the bus boys and ladies are extremely friendly and attentive. The Bread Soup with Kale is delicious and so was the Pasta with Vodka Sauce. Can't go wrong with this type of Italian food!

Service was slow and we had to order from the prefix menu due to a larger party. The selection wasn’t great and took forever for the kids meal to come out. I would not go back during a busy long holiday weekend.

What a wonderful dining experience! We were celebrating my husband’s 94th birthday and our waiter, Manny, made the experience absolutely wonderful! He made some wonderful suggestions, brought some of our old favorites to the table and made us feel like family. As always, the food was absolutely delicious. Thanks you to the entire staff & especially Manny for making this an outstanding celebration & dining experience.
