Fantastic experience and food! The service was excellent and the background music was a great.

Our dinner experience was superb. Our only complaint was the noise level which was a problem considering we were 6 people with three having hearing issues. Once I raised the question of noise the maître d tried to help us, but there were no tables available. My next visit with a group will be asking for a quieter place to sit. Our friends all loved their dinners. Two of us had an exceptional linguine with sea food. Our dish had plenty of shrimp, scallops, clams and muscles (all sweet and fresh) with baked cloves of garlic and cherry tomatoes making up the sauce. My husband had the bolognese in egg noodles. Delicious. The linguine, like all of their pastas are made in house, making all of the pastas noteworthy. My dish was so delectable that I had to push the dish away before I devoured it all. It was enough for two people to share especially with a salad which were quite large. Two friends had the barramundi fish dinner on Il Fornaio specials menu. They raved about it. My other friend had a large salad with broiled large shrimp and a vegetable soup. Last, but not least, the attention of our wait staff was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant and we intend to go back next week to celebrate our 44th anniversary. Thank you for a truly wonderful meal.

Love this place. Take my mom here every year for her bday. Always get the tomahawk

Great experience, and delicious food! The kitchen is next level. We’ve been going there for years and love how welcoming Steve, the host, is when entering. Steve completes the whole wonderful food experience, coming and going. ♥️

A unique combination of excellent food, efficient and welcoming staff, at a reasonable price. The chef has a real talent for turning out creative dishes that satisfy the most demanding palettes. A real pleasure to dine at this establishment.
