Initially, there was no one assigned to our table which was irritating for about 10 minutes. Finally, a super nice and apologetic waiter came to tell us what the problem had been and to offer his service. Wonderful service from that moment on and the food was excellent. My husband had a lovely, fresh salmon and I had a wonderful Caesar salad with the crisp romaine finely cut and the asiago cheese on top superb. Delightful, light minestrone! We'll be back!

I was up on Magnolia Avenue lookin for those pesky Hansen twins when all the sudden I was bombarded with dirt clods! Well, that could only mean one thing...Susie and Sally are in the neighborhood! That Sally can sure throw...She chased me all the way down to the Il Fornaio Italian Restaurant, throwing dirt clods all the way! I ducked in quick, and had a rustic polenta dish that was simply Amazing! 5 stars. ☆☆☆☆☆

Went early and had the best dinner served by Javier. The food was perfection a bowl of hot minestrone followed by seafood linguine with an abundance of mussels, clams, shrimp and scallops in a tomato based sauce all cooked to the taste of scrumptiousness. The Proseco was cold and bubbly just the way it should be served. The tiramisu was so fresh, creamy and chocolaty. Will be going back very soon.
