    Guillermo was fantastic for us! Super service, and the gnocchi was superb; lasagna was creamy and robust.

    After reading many glowing reviews online, I had high expectations for this restaurant. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The service was subpar, and to top it off, the waiter practically threw the bill onto our table without any courtesy. As for the food, it didn’t live up to the hype and certainly wasn’t worth the high prices. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied and have no desire to return.

    Our server Gillormo was excellent - above & beyond. We dine at our hometown Il Fornaio on the average three times monthly, but must say the food here tasted better - the calamari, christina pizza & filet mignon you could cut with a toothpick, bread, etc! Very relaxing, no rush upscaled ambience & the lady that seated us was most cordial +.

    Too loud and average tasting food. Bread was not offered or served immediately and we had to request it. Not sure if they forgot or not. Food was not good. Not worth the price.
