I am motivated to right this review because their service was top notch! The attention to detail by staff whether it was refilling water or placing cutlery on the table was unmatched. We tried their Salmon and Pizza and it was great! Would love to come back again!

Yesterday I had the most great experience at your restaurant. The food was yummy and tasty and the quality was good. The office was so luxury that I had so many things to do for the kids. I would highly recommend this Plaza and Il fornaio

Food is very good. You can order spaghetti, even though it's not on the menu. Service can be a little slower than you may expect, but they strive to please. The location and ambiance is upper level and is probably why it is often the choice to celebrate with family and friends the notable events in life.
