I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I would especially like to mention John, the District Manager. His professionalism, leadership, and attention to guests truly stand out. You can see how much he cares about both the team and the customer experience. Thank you for making the visit so enjoyable.

Il Fornaio | Mountain View
Il Fornaio presents a beautifully modern decorated space that balances semi-formal elegance with casual comfort. Guests can choose to dine indoors or enjoy the outdoor patio, where pets are welcome.
The meal began with warm, crispy bread (xtra charge) served alongside extra virgin olive oil and vinegar—simple, classic, and satisfying.
The Calamari appetizer was exceptional: crisp on the outside, tender and moist inside, with rich flavor and aroma.
The Linguine Mare Chiaro was another standout. Thin pasta in roasted cherry tomato sauce paired perfectly with clams, mussels, shrimps, and scallops. The seafood was remarkably fresh, flavorful, and aromatic, reminiscent of a seaside meal.
The Pappardelle alla Norcina con Pollo featured silky ribbons of rich tasty egg pasta in a savory sauce. While flavorful, the chicken breast portion was small and dry; more tenderness and a more generous serving would improve the dish.
Service was top-notch, friendly and professional. Our server, Paola, was warm, attentive, and professional, elevating the entire dining experience.
Overall, Il Fornaio delivers a remarkable and relaxing atmosphere with dishes that surprise with freshness and flavor. A place we’ll happily return to with friends and family.

Everything we had was exquisite! The salmon I added to the insulation beetle was the best salmon I have ever had. Several times we were checked on and all of the staff were very sweet with our baby. We were so distracted by how great the food was that I only managed to take one picture.

Had an amazing experience here! The pasta was delicious, and the drinks were on point. I’m already planning my next trip back to try the pizza. Highly recommend!

We reserved a table for 7-8 people and got upgraded to the party/conference room for free. Food was phenomenal, everything was super delicious. Service was absolutely five star. Pizza is the best pizza I’ve had in the area. Our waitress, Sanjay (apologies for not sure how to pronounce the name), she is the best. Her recommendation of food is excellent. Highly recommend this place!

Everything about Il Fornaio in Mountain View is consistently a 10.
The food is of the highest quality and preparation, and the menu selections are representative of high scale Italian cooking quite above what one finds at most Italian restaurants, but still in an affordable price range. From the moment we arrive we are met and treated like honored guests by the entire staff, from the manager to the bus-boy. To me the most important element of a restaurant experience is to be recognized and remembered by name as soon as you walk in. Here they remember not just your name but your unique preferences and will always ask if we want “the usual”. The ambiance is upscale, warm, and inviting. You really want to linger here and not rush through your meal. There is a great Happy Hour offered which can be had either at the bar or at tables inside and outside, but best enjoyed at the bar for the friendly interaction with the attentive and friendly bar staff, and conversation with other guests. So for excellent food, an upscale warm and inviting atmosphere, and welcoming staff, I highly recommend Il Fornaio in Mt. View… and, tell John, the manager I sent you. He and the entire staff will treat you like family.

I had a wonderful experience with this restaurant and the services are outstanding. Especially the manager of this place took really great care of us. The foods are excellent. The newly special Tomahawks steak was so good. That is a must try at least one time. I will come back for more!!!!

I’ve been coming to Il Fornaio with my family for over 10 years now and my experience at their new Mountain View location with my family over the holidays was truly the best I’ve ever had! From the moment we came in, we were greeted by the host who was extremely friendly in welcoming us. The service was great from start to finish and the food and drinks throughout our meal were perfectly timed and came out fresh. We mostly had wine from their great selections, but two in our party ordered espresso martinis that they loved. We even got visits
from the manager, John, who checked on our group twice despite it being a very busy night and he made us feel very welcomed, like we were the only group in there! Thank you for making our family’s annual holiday dinner an amazing experience to remember, we will certain be back to the Mountain View location!

Excellent place for having a meal with friends, family, or work. Full bar. Awesome entrees. I ordered grilled octopus and it could have been a meal by itself. Parking can be found in the parking garage near by.

I’ve been here twice now and both visits were excellent. The fried calamari was perfect — crispy, not greasy — and the lasagna was rich and full of flavor. The complimentary bread they bring out is ridiculously good too.
On our first visit, our waitress surprised us with a free appetizer, and on the second, the manager treated us to a dessert sampler on the house. We actually talked to the manager both times — not because anything was wrong, he just stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was great. He even remembered us on our return visit, which says a lot about how much they care.
Everyone we’ve met there has been friendly and welcoming, and the food and wine have both been really good. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular after just one visit. Definitely recommend.
