consistent and wonderful – Always a favorite of mine for work or leisure. The majority of the time I have an outstanding experience. Best waiter is Robert, ask for his table.
It may be a hotel restaurant and chain, but it has expanded into one of Silicon Valley's premier Italian eateries. – The Scene Il Fornaio wisely chose its locations on the Peninsula, its restaurants ensconced in the vintage Sainte Claire Hotel in downtown San Jose and in the tony Garden Court at the center of Palo Alto.

And We Waited ... – Terrible ... My family and I tried to have breakfast there on New Years Day. We couldn't ... they didn't want to seat us ... due to the limited waiter staff.... the restaurant had maybe 15 customers. How long do you have to wait to be seated an empty restaruant ? We gave them 15 minutes ...then left!
Overpriced – I'd say this restaurant is more trendy than anything. The food is above-average and the portions are small to regular, but when you factor in the cost of the food & valet parking (hard to find parking Fri/Sat nights), its not that great a deal. Its the kind of place that you let the company pay to take you to.
Great Restaurant – This is one Pasta Chain that works. Always serving great food and reasonable prices. They are catering my wedding at the Hyatt.
Disappointing!!! – Heard positive things about this restaurant from friends and got their bread from TJ's. Seemed pretty impressive at the time... We finally decided to give it a try... . First bad thing - cosmos had a HUGE aftertaste. YUCK! When we placed our order, the waiter asked "Soup or salad?". Under the impression it was INCLUDED with the meal, we selected soup or salad. Later found out we were charged for it. Finally, as far as the food... crab pasta was VERY fishy... (was it fish i ordered? thot it was crab). I had... read more
