What User doesn't like about Il Fornaio:
terrible, eat pretty bad. the waiter was very short. wait for thirty minutes to eat, because the kitchen fills our order and cooks regular noodles instead of gluten-free. my baked dish was cold in the center. to do with the bad setting of our server, and I must say that was one of the worst!

The food and wine are both excellent. The bar could offer more variety and some unique cocktails would be a nice addition, but it is an Italian chain / wine bar after all. View all feedback.

Il Fornaio has garnered mixed feedback, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. While some patrons appreciate the spacious atmosphere and commendable service, others have encountered issues such as subpar seafood, spoiled ingredients, and staff attitudes. The restaurant's food showcases a variety of Italian classics, with standout dishes like ravioli and Thanksgiving dinner receiving applause. Despite occasional complaints about the bar's limited cocktail options, many find it a reliable spot for family gatherings and celebrations. Overall, Il Fornaio delivers a solid dining experience, although consistency in food quality and service quality is needed for an even stronger reputation.
