The server that we had today was one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time! Is extremely attentive, my coworker had gone to another Il Fornaio years ago and showed him a picture of a plate that she wanted, and he was able to identify it. Very kind and Attentive. One of my favorite locations to go to!

Great atmosphere and surroundings. Loved the upstairs bar and the open windows to the front alley. Service was surprisingly good for only the second day of operation. Cocktails were unique and tasty although some were very small despite being pricey. Food was terrific with unique and delicious combinations of tastes. Open kitchen created an energetic and bustling vibe.
