Always a great experience with food and service at this location. We've been coming to dine here for well over 22 years and Luca has done a fantastic job overseeing this location. Our server Luis was very cheerful and polite. My husband and I use to both work on the island and we miss being able to meet after work for dinner. Thank you got a lovely Sunday lunch.

We really enjoyed Il Fornaio. The service was polite and helpful and the ambience was great. Food was well-liked though portions were a bit on the smaller side for the price. The meatball appetizer was a big hit and delicious.

WE HAD THE SUNDAY SPECIAL. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD UNTIL THE DESSERT. LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE A LITTLE CHEAP WHEN THEY SERVED MINI CANNOLIS & ONLY ONE SMALL PIECE OF TIARAMASU TO SHARE. WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE SPECIAL WAS TOO GOOD TO BE “SPECIAL “.
