   Food was delicious but server had too many tables seated at same time so was very stressed and busy. Also we were seated by the window to the outdoor dining area in which there was a party going on with loud DJ music. Otherwise I will detesting in hopes of better conditions since food was outstanding

   We were a party of 10 in the small party room celebrating 2 birthdays. And celebrate we did with the wonderful help of the Il Fornaio staff. This restaurant just always gets it right!! How do they do it? Our server, Paula (sorry if I got that wrong) was superb. A sense of humor and right on with her suggestions for drinks and meals. The food was served piping hot and was the usual wonderful meal. We had a variety of meals including appetizers and drinks, and everyone in my party loved it. Thank you Il Fornaio for doing such a nice job....AGAIN!!!

   The food was delicious, though a bit on the pricey side - especially the desserts.

   We had the rigatoni vodka, salmon, and veal scallopini. The rigatoni and veal scallopini was good as usual. But the salmon was overcooked and dry this time. One thing I noticed about the Mountain View Il Fornaio is that the sides (mashed potatoes and roasted potatoes) have been on the cold side for the last 3 out of 4 times I've been there. Never had that problem with cold sides with the Palo Alto or Santa Clara Il Fornaio. It is almost as if they pre-cook the sides and leave it sitting outside without any heat.

   Great server, very nice meal. The place was more lively on the inside than the outside suggested. In a good way.
