" The food was good, but the prices are a bit high for what you get. The atmosphere is lovely, making it great for a date night. While I enjoyed my meal, I felt that there could be improvements in portion sizes relative to the price. Service was good, and I appreciate the attention to detail from the staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience with my partner. The seafood pasta was exquisite and full of flavor. The service was prompt and friendly. While the prices may be higher than average, the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. I left feeling satisfied and happy with the entire evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Italy. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I tried the fettuccine alfredo, and it was rich and creamy. While the food was delicious, the portions could be more generous. I'd definitely visit again for the ambiance and great service! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I dined here last week and we loved it! The seafood pasta was a hit, with generous portions and fantastic flavor. The setting is both classy and cozy—it’s not too loud, perfect for a catch-up with the family. We’ll definitely make this a regular spot. Just a little complaint about the wait time for dessert, but it was well worth it in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience! I was blown away by the quality of the food—from the appetizers to the dessert. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted even better.

" My visit to Il Fornaio was very disappointing. The lasagna was overly cheesy and lacked flavor. The price was high for what I received. The decor might be elegant, but the food needs substantial improvement. I don’t think I’ll come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" A very pleasant evening at Il Fornaio! We celebrated my sister's birthday, and the staff made sure we felt special. The food was beautifully presented and of high quality. The wine selection was also impressive. It’s a bit pricey, but the overall experience was worth every penny. We will come back! " (*Curated Review*)
