" As a passionate foodie, I had high hopes for Il Fornaio, and it did not disappoint! The seafood pasta was exquisite, with such rich flavors and perfectly cooked ingredients. The staff’s knowledge about the menu and wine pairings impressed me. What stood out was the attention to detail in each dish. However, be conscious of portion sizes as some mains are on the smaller side for dinner prices. A marvelous place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Il Fornaio last weekend with some friends. We ordered an assortment of appetizers, and while the bruschetta was fine, some dishes fell flat. The restaurant vibe was nice, but they could improve on service speed. Still, the affogato was fantastic! A mixed experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a bit torn. The pizzas were tasty, but when I tried the linguine, it was underwhelming. The server was attentive, yet the drinks took a while to arrive. Great ambiance for a casual chill night though, just wish the food was more consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was our first visit last week, and we were curious to see how it holds up. The vibe is upscale with an elegant touch. The food was quite satisfying, especially the dosed flavors in pasta. Our waiter was very professional, making it a good experience all around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ok for a casual meal, but I had much better Italian food elsewhere. The pizza we ordered was decent, but lacked that traditional wood-fired flavor I expected. Staff were friendly, but I think they can improve on timely service during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Il Fornaio for a special occasion and was absolutely blown away by the ravioli! They were clearly made fresh and tasted divine. The ambiance is lovely and perfect for a family dinner or a date. Our server was friendly, and the wine selection was impressive too. I'll definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with a group of friends for dinner and the atmosphere was vibrant and fun! The bruschetta as an appetizer was divine. However, the mains were a mixed bag; some were excellent while others fell short. Despite this, the overall experience was good. " (*Curated Review*)
