We always have a fantastic experience at Il Fornaio, and this time was no exception. Our waiter Justin was attentive, caring, and patient. My parents always share a salad and an entree, and he had the kitchen split their dishes. They appreciated not having to split it at the table (which happens at many restaurants). Nick came over and checked on us too and made sure we got extra parmesan cheese. The food was amazing as always. The salmon was perfectly grilled and my parents' caesar salad and pasta bolognese was fantastic. The birthday ice cream at the end was a very sweet touch! Thank you for a great evening!

Excellent service allowing us to catch up and served promptly! Great atmosphere and my potato leek soup and bolognese was delicious! Great cocktails too!
Rosemary
It was a great dinner in every way. I ordered the ravioli stuffed with beef short ribs, excellent! My husband lives the tagliatelle with bolognese sauce, never disappoints. Our friends were very happy with their meals also. Great service, very attentive, no waiting.

We were seated in the perfect corner spot. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable. One of my grandchildren is allergic to egg and the server went to the kitchen and spoke to the chef, and we felt confident that there would be no contact with egg. We had a great family dinner without having to do the cooking!
Gerald
The food was pretty good. Our waiter was a different story. He needs a different line of work. He was unfriendly and inattentive. Not sure we're going back if that's their idea of service

Wonderful, wonderful place in Burlingame. Sam our waiter was fun & attentive. Perfect way to end my stay in california!
Barbara
So delicious as always! Impeccable service. , Lovely atmosphere. As a person who is hard of hearing, though, I found it difficult to hear my dining companions with the happy group next to us having a great time!

Il Fornaio is a fantastic restaurant. The food and drinks are excellent. The portion sizes are generous and the food quality is high and delicious. I would highly recommend.

Three of us long time friends had a celebratory birthday dinner. One of my friends has severe food restrictions. Our waitress, I believe her name is Carla, was so caring, and with the wonderful attention of the chefs, made sure my friend did not go home hungry. This was a first. They were so accommodating. The food was delicious. Also, we weren't rushed. A very enjoyable evening.
Wonderful selections. New server left a little bit to be desired when it came to customer service. Business dinner with a client this evening. Server decided early on that she needed to inform us of a larger party reservation and the 'need' for her to move us if we needed more time. Hence the 4 stars

Very enjoyable dinner with friends. Brautiful restaurant. Terrific menu! Terrific service by waiter, but bussing could be less obtrusive and hurried.

Good food. Pricey menu. The restaurant is showing signs of getting old. Ambience is okay. Parking can be hard to find.
