Il Fornaio offers an enjoyable dining experience with standout service, despite being quite loud. The attentive waitstaff provides recommendations, and the menu caters to various dietary needs, including vegetarian and low-carb options. Customers have praised the food, including the minestrone soup, caprese, and bruschetta, as delicious. The restaurant's atmosphere, combined with friendly staff and great service, enhances the overall experience. The place is absolutely gorgeous, and the service is magnificent. Valet parking is available, making it easier to visit downtown Palo Alto. While the food quality is excellent, some reviews suggest that food preparation could improve. There were some issues with order accuracy and restroom cleanliness, and a customer experienced difficulty using the payment machine, which could be addressed with better staff training. Despite these minor concerns, many customers are eager to return for the amazing service and mouthwatering dishes, especially highlighting their best waiter as a reason to come back. The patio ambiance and perfect weather add to the enjoyable environment.
