We met a friend there before an early evening play. First time for all 3 of us. The menu is a bit thin, but if like what they are serving, it is as fresh as it can be and prepared with skill. We had the Cacio E Pepe pizza, and it was an interesting take on the variant. Next time (and there will be a next time!) I would go for the margherita pizza, instead. I missed the tomato-ey flavor. We also orded the zucchini blossoms, very nice, buit would skip next time to try another dish....

Big fan of Osteria del Fornaio. The pastas were perfectly prepares and served piping hot, the pizzas were thin crusted but held up as you picked up each slice. Everyone on staff was attentive and kind. Finally, the happy hour is a great opportunity for an even more affordable option to their already well priced menu.

Delicious food! Fantastic zucchini blossoms. The Caesar was fresh and crispy and the dressing was perfect. Pizza had thin, crispy crust and perfect to share. The chicken Marsala and the branzino were perfection. We will absolutely, positively go back.
