Il Fornaio is one of our go-to restaurants. We ate here for a Friday-date night. When I made our reservation through Open Table, I requested for a table by the window. They obliged. Our table was perfect! We ordered the Calamari Fritti as appetizer. It came hot and crunchy, definitely freshly made. My husband ordered the Linguine Mare, came piping hot and the seafood was so fresh. I ordered the Toscana Pollo, roasted half chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies. Not hot, just lukewarm, but I still enjoyed it.. We also ordered the Bread Pudding to-go and that was very good. The service was okay, they are busy so we have to wait for our main dishes. Overall, we had a great experience at Il Fornaio in Burlingame, and we love the ambience. We will be back.
