" We recently tried Il Fornaio for a special occasion, and it was outstanding! The staff was extraordinarily accommodating, helping us celebrate my wife's birthday with some complimentary prosecco. Our entrees were impeccable; the sea bass was cooked to perfection and seasoned wonderfully. The ambiance matched the quality of food with soft music and classy decor. Can't recommend it enough for a special dinner out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful dining experience overall! The linguine with clams was out of this world; you could taste the freshness of the seafood. The restaurant had a delightful Italian vibe—slightly bustling but not overwhelming. Great for a casual dinner with friends or a special date alike. I also loved the house-made bread served warm; it went perfectly with olive oil. A place worth revisiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" So, I went to celebrate my birthday and I must say, I was let down. The menu is extensive, but the execution was lacking. My pasta was served lukewarm and tasted like it had been sitting for a while. I expected more from a fine dining Italian establishment. However, the server was friendly and made an effort to accommodate our needs. I just wished the food matched the service. I might give it another chance but I'm unsure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Il Fornaio for my anniversary and found it to be absolutely wonderful! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Our waiter was knowledgeable and suggested the seafood pasta, which was fantastic! The flavors reminded me of our trip to Italy, and the portion was generous. The ambiance with the dim lighting and soft music set the romantic mood perfectly. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delicious! I can honestly say that everything from the appetizer to dessert was stellar. I tried the caprese salad and it's the best I've had outside of Italy! The pasta dishes were bursting with flavor, and the ambiance was perfect for a cozy dinner. We even indulged in their famous tiramisu, which deserves all the praise it gets! Definitely a place I will return to often. " (*Curated Review*)
