    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!

    Friendly, attentive service. Tagliatelle Bolognese served hot, with melt-in-your-mouth pasta. Looking forward to a return visit.
