   Beautiful setting for Christmas Eve Dinner before Mass at St. Clare’s. Truly, it was tastefully decorated inside and felt like Christmas. The food was average to good. Originally from New York, I am used to delicious and savory Italian Food be it at home or at a restaurant. The Caesar Salad was decent, the pasta dishes just OK. I thought the pasta dishes were overpriced for what they were. I had the Lobster Ravioli, which missed the mark. It was at a price point of $44. I had bought Lobster Ravioli from Costco which was better , and made it with a little virgin olive oil, and fresh grated cheese. That dish at home cost $5.00 to 6.00. The cocktails were too strong. A well balanced cocktail should not taste of alcohol. The wine was OK. The dessert was decent as was my espresso. The service was warm, attentive, and good. Kudos to Carlos. I was clever in saving money when they served me the bill or check. I quickly purchased two $100 virtual gift cards for $85 each, and each one came with a complimentary $20 gift card to be used in January, February, or March. This quick thinking made our dinner more palatable. Overall, a pleasant experience. Also, did the Galleria Valet Parking for $10 which was right next to the restaurant. Worth it when the Galleria is packed with last minute shoppers.

   We’ve eaten at several il Fornaio’s over the years. The Roseville property is THE BEST! Cozy decor, and excellent service in bar and dining room. Better cooking than at the other IF’s and better service. (We won’t go to the Walnut Creek IF any longer - poorly managed and not work the value experience.) The Roseville property is outstanding! GO!

   Lovely experience - service was on point- food was great - plating might be improved- I should have asked for different seating - conversations were difficult without a round or square table- and noise level was not good… slight imperfections will never change always coming back - with all our friends …love the physical ambiance and again the service was wonderful!!!!

   This is my favorite place to eat in the area. The service and the food are exceptional. I had the gnocchi, which came with a creamy tomato sauce. Awesome! Gnocchi was soft and pillowy. The sauce was perfect. My partner had lasagna. He said it was the best. We are frequent customers. We are never disappointed. I appreciate the changes to the menu to ensure we always have something new to try.

   Every year I take my Granddaughter's on our traditional Christmas shopping trip always beginning with a wonderful lunch at Il Fornaio . Now that they are of drinking age, it is so nice to start the lunch with a glass of wine. This is the 10th year of our tradition and Il Fornaio always lives up to their excellent food, wine, and outstanding service.

    Il Fornaio is always a great place for a special dinner out. The food is always excellent as is the service by the wait staff. I routinely hold a holiday celebration there with the my neighbors every year. It is always a lovely night out.
