Il Fornaio | Mountain View

4.5Star Il Fornaio | Mountain View Il Fornaio presents a beautifully modern decorated space that balances semi-formal elegance with casual comfort. Guests can choose to dine indoors or enjoy the outdoor patio, where pets are welcome. The meal began with warm, crispy bread (xtra charge) served alongside extra virgin olive oil and vinegar—simple, classic, and satisfying. The Calamari appetizer was exceptional: crisp on the outside, tender and moist inside, with rich flavor and aroma. The Linguine Mare Chiaro was another standout. Thin pasta in roasted cherry tomato sauce paired perfectly with clams, mussels, shrimps, and scallops. The seafood was remarkably fresh, flavorful, and aromatic, reminiscent of a seaside meal. The Pappardelle alla Norcina con Pollo featured silky ribbons of rich tasty egg pasta in a savory sauce. While flavorful, the chicken breast portion was small and dry; more tenderness and a more generous serving would improve the dish. Service was top-notch, friendly and professional. Our server, Paola, was warm, attentive, and professional, elevating the entire dining experience. Overall, Il Fornaio delivers a remarkable and relaxing atmosphere with dishes that surprise with freshness and flavor. A place we’ll happily return to with friends and family.

Had an amazing experience here! The pasta was delicious, and the drinks were on point. I’m already planning my next trip back to try the pizza. Highly recommend!

We reserved a table for 7-8 people and got upgraded to the party/conference room for free. Food was phenomenal, everything was super delicious. Service was absolutely five star. Pizza is the best pizza I’ve had in the area. Our waitress, Sanjay (apologies for not sure how to pronounce the name), she is the best. Her recommendation of food is excellent. Highly recommend this place!

Everything we had was exquisite! The salmon I added to the insulation beetle was the best salmon I have ever had. Several times we were checked on and all of the staff were very sweet with our baby. We were so distracted by how great the food was that I only managed to take one picture.

I’ve been coming to Il Fornaio with my family for over 10 years now and my experience at their new Mountain View location with my family over the holidays was truly the best I’ve ever had! From the moment we came in, we were greeted by the host who was extremely friendly in welcoming us. The service was great from start to finish and the food and drinks throughout our meal were perfectly timed and came out fresh. We mostly had wine from their great selections, but two in our party ordered espresso martinis that they loved. We even got visits from the manager, John, who checked on our group twice despite it being a very busy night and he made us feel very welcomed, like we were the only group in there! Thank you for making our family’s annual holiday dinner an amazing experience to remember, we will certain be back to the Mountain View location!

I had a wonderful experience with this restaurant and the services are outstanding. Especially the manager of this place took really great care of us. The foods are excellent. The newly special Tomahawks steak was so good. That is a must try at least one time. I will come back for more!!!!

Excellent place for having a meal with friends, family, or work. Full bar. Awesome entrees. I ordered grilled octopus and it could have been a meal by itself. Parking can be found in the parking garage near by.

I’ve been here twice now and both visits were excellent. The fried calamari was perfect — crispy, not greasy — and the lasagna was rich and full of flavor. The complimentary bread they bring out is ridiculously good too. On our first visit, our waitress surprised us with a free appetizer, and on the second, the manager treated us to a dessert sampler on the house. We actually talked to the manager both times — not because anything was wrong, he just stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was great. He even remembered us on our return visit, which says a lot about how much they care. Everyone we’ve met there has been friendly and welcoming, and the food and wine have both been really good. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular after just one visit. Definitely recommend.

As one who dines out 6 times a week, with 4 of those times being at the Mountain View location of Il Fornaio, it's needless to say this is my favorite restaurant in the area! The food has been amazing on each and every visit I have made here. Whether it be for Lunch, Happy hour or Dinner this place does not disappoint! The expert staff, guided and trained under the watchful eyes of Managers John, Manny and Blank are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and every ingredient in every dish. The Happy Hour Pizzas, both the Margarita and Fradiavola, along with the tender Calamari have been my 'Go-to's' since opening day. The Cauliflower and Meatballs are a close 2nd and are always enjoyed immensely by my dining guests. I'll update with my Lunch and dinner review after this commercial interruption.....

I had a great experience dining here with reservation on a Saturday evening. I enjoyed the restaurant service and ambiance, definitely has a higher end kind of vibe, would be nice for special occasions. The food was good but not amazing. The pasta portions were small for the price, usually I can't finish all the pasta when I go out at similar restaurants but I was able to finish a pasta without filling super full, even with appetizers and sharing pizza. The pappardelle was a little bland, wouldn't get again. The tagliatelle bolognese was solid, and I really enjoyed the gnocchi ragu sauce, though the gnocchi itself was super mushy, a texture I wasn't expecting. Standouts were the beef carpaccio and tuscan lemonade (a sweet drink where you can barely taste the alcohol). Would come again to try different menu items!

Visited for drinks during happy hour and had a lovely experience! It wasn't too busy on a Sunday at 5pm, so my party of two was seated immediately at the bar. The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting and cozy, with warm lighting, lots of booth seating, and light chatter. The bartenders were super friendly and offered recommendations based on my preferences. The happy hour menu was impressive! There was a variety of reasonably priced drink and food selections. I really enjoyed the tuscan lemonade, which featured conciere vodka, blackberry purée, lemon, and soda. It was quite a sweet drink and had a strong fruit flavor. The tiki taormina was another very solid and sweet drink. It contained don q piña rum, peach purée, pineapple, lime, and mint. Both drinks were strong. I would definitely come back for happy hour deals!

This is my favorite Il Fornaio location. It's new, fit for happy hour or team outings alike, service is friendly, and the pasta quality beat my expectations. Some dishes are better than others - check Yelp before you order! I highly recommend the lasagna and tiramisu (it's big, too!). The chocolate cake that came with a yummy scoop of ice cream was pretty good, too but could have been a tad more molten. Portions are big and apparently they have a good happy hour! I'll definitely be back for that.

Came in for dinner while in the area. Ordered the bread, a pizza, and meatballs. The pizza had a nice crust but was soggy in the middle. The bread was fresh and soft. The meatballs were a little cold, but the sauce was tasty. We ate them anyway. Service was friendly and attentive.

I've been to Il Fornaio twice recently, both times watching sports at the bar, and being served by Antonio, who is excellent. The first time, I arrived during happy hour, so my first two drinks, a Kickin Old Fashioned and a Sorrento King, were only $9, and the chianti with dinner only $8. The Sorrento King is a smoked drink, very entertaining to watch be prepared. I ordered linguine mare, and was very pleased. For dessert, I was saddened that there was no cannoli, but enjoyed the Napoleone with an Americano. It's a very classy looking place, and the second time I sat at the bar, I watched my baseball team lose on one TV, and my football team lose on the other. So I console myself with a very delicious margarita pizza, very roman style with a great crust. And another Sorrento King, of course. I also had a Caesar salad, with very healthy looking lettuce, and great flavor overall. I can foresee future visits.

Had an amazing experience here! The pasta was delicious, and the drinks were on point. I'm already planning my next trip back to try the pizza. Highly recommend!

Great service and very helpful staff, especially when ordering vegetarian options. The food was delicious, with pizza being the highlight. We sat outside in the heated tent with our dogs and had a cozy, comfortable experience.

This restaurant was amazing! The main thing that called me here was the happy hour. They have discounted prices on their drinks and appetizers. However, the prices of the regular menu are worth it because their servings are huge. The service was amazing. They checked on us plenty of times to make sure everything was alright. There are a handful of other restaurants in this plaza but a lot of parking available. There's also a lot of seating indoors, at the bar, or on the patio.

I came here with some coworkers for a work dinner. I really liked the ambiance--felt super comfortable and great decor. I was craving seafood and ordered the Gamberoni, and safe to say it hit the spot! Absolutely loved the seared scallops, which were juicy and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The lobster cream sauce was a fantastic complement to smother all over the seafood. Prawns were massive and I really liked how easy it was to remove from the shells. The risotto cake was also delicious and had this pleasant crisp. Food quality wise, it was great! But, the portions were underwhelming. I saw that my coworkers who ordered pizzas had so much food leftover, but I could probably down at least 2 or 3 of these Gamberoni dishes For dessert, I'd highly recommend the panna cotta. Loved the pleasant coffee aftertaste and had the perfect lightness to finish my meal

Pretty disappointed. Average Italian fare with upmarket prices. Having moved from NJ, am used to authentic Italian food from 'Sopranos' country, this was an insult. The Caprese salad - Mozzarella was dead, Tomatoes insipid. The Ravioli had a bland sauce & the filings didn't taste anything. Worst was the Seafood pasta, the clams and/or mussels were stale, confirmed by an upset stomach later. Appalled at the Quality & that too at such exorbitant prices. Place is big, decor nice. Service ok. Maybe good for an office party where wine & starters r more important than food. Best of Luck.

Orlando and Marco at the bar are the best. They are both customer oriented, very attentive and hospitality focused! Taylor/ Hana xoxoxo

We came to Il fornaio on Mother's Day and it was nice that they had a special Mother's Day menu. The service was pretty good and the restaurant is quite big inside and I like the setting. The food however was just okay. The best thing we got was probably the pizza. The minestrone soup was not good and the vegetables were too overcooked. The bruschetta tasted kinda odd too. The pasta dishes were both kinda sour and not that great. Not sure I'd come back here to be honest

Walked in to this local Italian joint in downtown Palo Alto on a weekday evening after 7pm. The vibe was family style, casual and relaxing. Sat at a small booth with mirrors inside the restaurant. They have outside seating as well. Ordered the grilled Halibut with risotto. The fish was fresh and portion was generous, the risotto was a bit mushy. Ordered a side dish of cauliflower which was baked with rosemary to healthify the meal. It was a bit bland and I requested hot sauce. The only one they had was a buffalo style dip used to create one of their pizzas. It went well with the cauliflower. Ordered spumoni for dessert. Once again, the portion was big. The servers were friendly. Ambiance was good. PS. Read somewhere that Steve Jobs had his last meal here.

We walked in at around 8pm on a Friday night and was sat quickly. But it took like 20 mins before someone came and gave us waters and they walked away just as fast. It took another 10 mins before our actual server came and took our order. We ordered the calamari to start. It was alright. My bf got the pappardelle and I got the linguine. The pappardelle is covered in a mushroom sauce and it was more of the star than the pasta. The linguine was good and the portion size was perfect for a light eater like me. But due to the service, we probably wont be coming back here.

The food is super duper tasty, but the portions are small. Server was very kind and responsive.

Vegetarian reviewer: Went to this restaurant on Valentine's Day. The restaurant is beautiful and sooo well lit. It looked aesthetic, and it was crowded (actually full). We ordered: 1. Bruschette Assortite - This was the best dish amongst all our orders. There were 3- pesto cheese, mushroom, and one with tomato. All of them were great! I think $15 for this one still made sense. 2. App Gnocchi Gratinati - Super mediocre. Tasted kind of weird, and was pretty much a waste of $16. 3. Ravioli Zucca - Extremely oily. The gravy was mostly oil with some nuts and a couple of leaves. The nuts and leaves gave a nice flavor, but it couldn't cut it. Salt was less and it didn't justify a price of $28. This was actually our server's top recommendation. 4. Pizza Margherita - this was really underwhelming. $20. 5. Kick in Old Fashioned - My partner liked this drink, I liked it too. $15 The service wasn't great either. It took a long time and it is not the server's fault, but none of the suggestions worked great for us. Given the price point, I wouldn't recommend this place that much. I highly recommend going at a time when they have some happy hour/ offers for the try. I did read some people mentioning about it in reviews. The server offered me a taste of a cocktail but never came back with it, maybe I was confused. But then I just skipped ordering one altogether. Overall, it was a good experience--nothing fancy coz food wasn't top notch, but we loved the ambiance. We enjoyed our nice date night and made a memory for the next two weeks we were gonna live away!

I visited this spot for Happy Hour which runs daily from 3-6 pm. We arrived around 4 or 5 pm and it wasn't crowded at all. We were seated outdoors and it was a very relaxing atmosphere. We tried the Pizza Fradiavola, Calamaretti Fritti, and Bruschetta, along with a few cocktails. All of the dishes were delicious and a great value for Happy Hour! I'll definitely be coming back!

Been here two times and had the same waitress both times and she remembered us! That was very sweet. The second time we came here we had a large group of 10 people and they seated us in our own private room for no charge, the ambiance was great and I would recommend this for any large group setting! Food was good overall, definitely one of the better italian places in the bay! I think the service here puts it a notch over others but I have no complaints for food: my ranking of things to try - gnocchi gratinati : very mushroom but I love it, I would get this as an entree rigatoni alla vodka: best pasta here! I prefer to sub the bacon w mushroom. One time we did other asserted veggies w brocolini and asparagus and carrot..if you go with this option I would remove the carrot casarecce al pesto: also good! not as good as vodka sauce but needs a bit more salt ravioli di zucca: a bit too much cheese/sweetness for me but not bad fradiavola: It was good/fine - I think the pastas are more unique/ better We also always get the cestino del pan (bread and olive oil) it's usually warm and fresh!! And free refills on this! Would recommend.. it would be nice if they added some fresh parmesan to the olive oil too but just a suggestion!! Also all the drinks ive gotten here are good! I liked the tiki drink it tastes like no alcohol. They also always give a free dessert for a special occasion! First time I came was for a bday and second time was for a work celebration! I was touched that they thought to give a dessert for the second one :') Overall great place for a special occasion!! Would recommend

Il Fornaio has officially become my favorite spot for happy hour. For the past two weeks, I've managed to get two different groups of friends to meet up there, and next Friday I'm bringing my kid and his cousins. The food is great--we ordered all six appetizers on the menu and liked every single one. The cocktails are half-price, though I think they might also be about half (or maybe two-thirds) the usual alcohol content, which I actually don't mind. My alcohol tolerance is pretty low, and most of my friends don't drink anyway. The staff is very kind and attentive--no complaints at all. Actually: I love it there!

Amazing service food was amazing. Filet mignon was out of this world. The pesto gnocchi was just fantastic. I highly recommend the filet mignon medium rare with the mashed potatoes, mushrooms with the red wine sauce, Amazing. I love the vibe on the inside. It was very comfortable. The lighting was great. The outside patio is amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The space was quite spacious and clean. I was able to get a same day reservation for a party of 5. We ordered an array of appetizers and pasta dishes. I ordered the iced tiramisu which I enjoyed! The fried Mac and cheese balls were very good. The burrata was creamy and delicious! The pizza was good, crust was nice and crispy! All pasta dishes were good. The chicken cutlet was a bit soggy by the time I got it as it was laying on a bed of noodles. The service was great, no complaints.

Finished out the night with desserts can coffee with an old college buddy. Did not know there was an Il Fornaio in Mt. View. I have to the original in downtown Palo Alto and the one in Burlingame. IF always satisfies. It's a great new spot in Mt. View (i have no idea how long it has been opened). I had the Spumone Gelato (raspberry & chocolate sauce) and an Americano coffee. My buddy had the Affogato al Caffe and a shot of cognac. Both were excellent and an ideal way to top off a day of eating and drinking way too much. The service was also very good and we were well attended to. The interior is very modern, yet classy. Fellas this is a good date spot. To sum up, it was good for dessert and I am guessing even better for dinner. I am definitely keeping this place on the list. Now for the pics...

Atmosphere is very warm and inviting, especially during the Christmas holidays. This is the perfect place for date or after work happy hour. The servers are very friendly and professional some of the best in their field. Happy hour is very affordable for the area, which is why I like bringing friends back here all the time. For less than $10 you can get a variety of beers, wines, and cocktails. For about $12-$15 you can get a nice appetizer or pizza. You simply cannot go wrong with the ambience, service and food!

This review is 3.5 stars. And maybe I'm being a little tough on Il Fornaio, but the experience felt good, not great. I made a reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday night. We arrived on time, and when we gave them our name for the reservation, the hosts chatted amongst themselves for quite some time on where to seat us. The host asked whether we would be okay with sitting on a high top in the bar, and it felt like we were being treated as if we were just walk ins, which felt strange to me. What is the purpose of a reservation? We did end up sitting near the bar, which was a table that was a hybrid of a bench and high chair seating. The service was slow. My two dining companions ordered drinks, and I just opted for water. The two other drinks arrived, and it took a long time for me to receive water. It wasn't delivered until half the bread basket we ordered was gone, which also took quite some time to arrive. Our meals also took some time as well, but I couldn't say whether that was a service issue or due to a back up in the kitchen. I used to be a server, so I try to be as understanding as possible when it comes to service, but the restaurant was not packed and our server and others passed by our table multiple times when we needed drinks and refills. On a brighter note, the restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays, with big gold stars, hanging snowflakes, candy cane Christmas trees, and wooden nutcrackers adorning the interior. The only thing that would have elevated the holiday experience was if they added Christmas lights on the interior. The food was good. I ordered the Branzino which was complimented by a tomato olive sauce. I was very happy with the dish, which was well seasoned and served with broccolini, carrots, and roasted potatoes. My dining companions ordered Margherita pizzas with proscuitto. They both finished their plates sans the crust and said the pizza was good. But I noticed there was quite a lot of cheese on it, instead of the dots of fresh mozzarella that you often see on a true margherita pizza. Overall, Il Fornaio was a good dining experience, and I'd probably return for the Branzino, but I could not say it exceeded my expectations.

First of all, huge kudos to this place for being open on Thanksgiving Day and serving up a wonderful dinner experience. We made reservations a couple of weeks in advance online, and they called us a couple of days before Thanksgiving to confirm our party size, which I thought was thoughtful. For the holiday menu, one could choose between their Thanksgiving set menu ($59pp), ordering items a la carte, or ordering from their usual menu - I liked this setup because different members of our party could adjust their order flexibly. The set came with a butternut squash soup, a salad, a turkey entree with all the fixings, and a lovely pumpkin pie dessert. It was way too much food for 1 person but luckily not everyone ordered the full set so we could share the food around. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka which tasted heavenly and was cooked to perfection. The ambiance of the restaurant was upscale but cozy and offered a warm atmosphere to celebrate the holiday. Overall 4.5 stars! Cons: - They packed the tables to the brim, so the service was at times slow, and they messed up one of our drink orders - The salad was very plain and dry, which was a little disappointing

First time in this Italian restaurant in Mountain View. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful. Outdoors seating was nice and relaxed. Ordered the lasagna and seafood linguine. Food was very tasty and presentation was nice. The only minus was they charged $4 for breads and it wasn't that good. Definitely will come back to try other entries next time.

Came for happy hour and have tried the margarita Italiano, insalata di pere, tiramisu, and margherita pizza which were all delicious,

We have been here a number of times, primarily because some of our family members really enjoy their meals here, but we find it typically overpriced and underwhelming. The thing that put me over the top was a panzanella salad for $15 that was tiny and had 4 croutons. That is not a panzanella salad. Other dishes were also small - the fusilloni for example ($21). Even the affogato at $14 had way too much whipped cream that took away from the drink that really should be coffee and ice cream. My salmon was good, I'll say that much.

I love this place for their fresh pasta, good cocktails, and amazing service. Even when they're short staffed the bartenders are super friendly in a genuine way, especially Marko.

We ordered a salmon salad take out order after dining for lunch. It was for my husband at home working. They confirmed the order was correct and charged for a full salmon salad order. Once home there was no salmon at all, just a salad. It was a hassle to get the salmon portion refunded, really? Maybe you should have refunded the while order. Being charged full price for a salmon salad with zero salmon is ridiculous. What made it worse was having to argue for a refund on the missing protein. This should have been an automatic full refund, not a hassle. Completely unacceptable. We won't be returning. A salmon salad with no salmon and resistance to issuing a proper refund says everything we need to know about how issues are handled

We got two pizzas and a salad. The pizzas were great. Salad with shrimp not so great--the shrimp was under cooked and the greens didn't seem very fresh. Nice ambiance and friendly wait staff. I would like to try one of the more involved entrees and the dessert menu. It looked good.

I used to love this place so much and came here so much before!! Until I got BAD food poisoning yesterday from the seafood and the beef carpaccio!!!

Il Fornaio is a bougie Italian joint with multiple locations. For a fancy birthday dinner or any large formal dinner this is the place to go. The ambiance was great with plenty of seating (outdoor as well) and also a wine stand in the interior with an open kitchen. Firstly I asked for bread with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil and it was so good. The bread was warm and fresh and it was the perfect starter. Then I got the Insalata Di Pere which was alright. The pears were overcooked but the veggies Gorgonzola and pecans were very tasty and peared well together:)! For my main dish I got the special boar ragu pasta. It was a typical tagliatelle pasta with bear ragu. It was a special so it may have only been there for a limited time but it was incredibly good. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and the boar was very meaty and slightly gamey but it was also incredibly tender and worked with the tomato sauce well. The last dish I got was the gnocchi which was my favorite dish. The gnocchi itself was so fluffy and airy and the red pesto sauce it came with was delicious! Dessert was quite the adventure. I only tried the Vulcan and it was like a makeshift lava cake. It was chcolatey but not overwhelming and also really fluffy and warm. I loved it so much I would come again just for the dessert! Overall, although the price was exorbitant Il Fornaio was just insanely good and the ambiance was also amazing which is why I would recommend Il Fornaio for certain occasions

We came here for a date night on a Saturday night. We had a 7pm reservation, made same day, parked in the parking structure and were promptly seated. I ordered an espresso martini which was delicious while my husband got some red wine. We ordered some bread on the side which came with some balsamic and olive oil. It was crusty and delicious. We shared the branzino and rigatoni alla vodka. Both were delicious but the branizno was a particular favorite. Service was fine and we would definitely come back in the future!

Nice atmosphere and good food. I was particularly blown away with the calamari appetizer. Super tender, on point on flavor and not overly cooked. Beet salad was fresh and a classic. We had carpaccio and the meat was fresh but was too salty when they put too much capers and Parmesan. Their house bread was delicious with EV oil and balsamic vinegar.

Classy place for happy hour and dinner with friends as well as pups. My family and friends frequent this place as if it was our local watering hole. The service has always been great. We usually reserve a table out in the patio because of our pups. The most ordered in our party is their meat pizza and calamari. Yum! Rest of the non happy hour entrees are excellent, never had a bad one. Since this review only screams "go here now" I'll say one upgrade they could do - desserts. Haven't had much luck in that department but outside of that "go here now".

Came here for date night - it is the perfect restaurant for a date, business team dinner, girls night, or birthday. Slightly upscale but still casual. Food is fantastic and service was wonderful (shoutout our server Vasil!). We got the burrata and prosciutto appetizer, the prosciutto pizza, the seafood pasta, and wine. All absolute winners! Will gladly come back again. Thank you so much for such great food and hospitality!

I visited Il Fornaio with a group of 13 coworkers, and we had a private room. The ambiance was fantastic! Our server, Angie, along with another staff member, was very friendly and attentive. We started with calamari and carpaccio as appetizers. For my main course, I ordered the Ravioli di Zucca, which was delicious! Although it looked small, it was surprisingly filling. I would definitely order it again but without the red/orange sauce in the center, as it slightly overpowered the dish's natural sweetness. My coworker had the mushroom ravioli, and she absolutely loved it!

A classy and elegant experience! I went here for a work dinner, and the waiters were attentive for all my coworkers. The food was delicious, and the wine was great. We just missed happy hour, so I'd recommend coming during happy hour. Otherwise, great spot!

I had a wonderful experience with this restaurant and the services are outstanding. Especially the manager of this place took really great care of us. The foods are excellent. The newly special Tomahawks steak was so good. That is a must try at least one time. I will come back for more!!!!

Came here for dinner. The space is large and beautifully decorated, very festive. Definitely suitable for a more special occasion. The food is not bad. There was nothing wrong with it - it just wasn't amazing. We got the Caesar salad, prosciutto and burrata, rigatoni, bolognese, and the margherita pizza. I liked it all, except for the pizza which tasted more like regular cheese pizza. We spent about ~$60 per person, and I think I'd come back mainly for the space and the ambiance rather than the food.

Went there for happy hour, it is indeed a beautiful spot. Great Happy hour drinks and food menu, we loved our drinks, calamari & margarita pizza. But somehow the place felt a little quiet for happy hour on weekend (Saturday), I wish they had maybe some TV or music or something to make the place more lively.

The ambiance was nice, seated quickly as we arrived right at our reservation time. Restaurant filled up fairly quickly, location is nice but can be very hard to find parking during peak hours. The appetizers were flavorful and good however pasta was a little overcooked. Gnocchi came out very soft but the red sauce was delicious.

Finally had a chance to dine here tonight 02/09/25 celebrating an 18th birthday. They gave us a private area and Sanjeev our server was on top of things. He took our orders correctly, food came out promptly and he's an awesome group photographer! Appreciate his sense of humor and accommodating our needs for service to be quick as it was a Sunday night with highschoolers. Pizza, pasta, salad, and desserts all hit the spot for everyone tonight. Thx for a quick but excellent evening.

Due to other plans falling through, we called on a whim to reserve a table of family of 5 this week. We arrived at the table was already set up with the high chairs for our kids. We walk in and the ambiance is wonderful, soft playing music and lights are a bit dimmed. Food was delicious! Think super comforting Italian food cooked by an Italian grandma. My husband who is Italian appreciated how authentic the food and flavor was! We celebrated a special occasion and they gave us a whole tiramisu to share with the family which was so sweet! And we got a handwritten card too which was a lovely touch and I will treasure always to remember this special night!

Love the ambience and everything I've tried from here. Been here a few times and found the service pretty attentive. Went last time when it was busy so service was slightly slower, but still just as great. Friends and I could take our time eating and chatting without feeling rushed to leave.

Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving experience! Truly attentive wait staff, constantly walking around refilling waters and getting sharing plates & utensils. We were a party of 6 and they accommodated all of our dietary needs. Someone got the prix fixe Thanksgiving 4 course menu and they loved it. I got the mixed seafood grill and it was outstanding. Scallops, Salmon, Sea Bass, Jumbo Shrimp, with roasted broccoli, carrots and potatoes. We also shared the grilled cauliflower & marinated olives. Everyone loved the seasonal butternut squash soup. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a huge smile! It felt like being at someone's home. I couldn't believe how affordable it was, which was icing on the cake. We have found our new family celebration restaurant!
