Il Fornaio - Santa Clara

Service was a bit slow for a 1:30 in the afternoon time frame.

Another example of overpriced Italian facade. Pizza was not bad, calamari was overcooked (old/burned oil? and way to salty. Lasagna was unbearable. Pasta dishes we just ok, but similar to what one could easily achieve at home with canned sauces. Disappointed due to the price and quality. However, service staff were friendly and attentive!

This used to be 5 stars for me, but coming out of COVID things have changed. You now have to ask for and pay for bread. The olive oil they used for dipping could be better. Food was really good, but not amazing like it used to be. Selection of menu items has decreased. I miss the zabbagioni on the dessert menu. They used to do wine pairings also and those are no more. Our server was nice, but the servers used to be exceptional. On the plus side the wine selection is still top notch and the bartenders are really good at their job. This is my favorite place to order a lemon drop.

Good food and great service, good place for business lunch.

We had a place reserved inside and when we arrived, we were told rudely that they were all reserved and that they had us outside. despite the heating we were cold all night. our server was very good, but that wasn't the evening we had in the head.
