Il Fornaio - Sacramento (CA)

5 /5 iheartauroraborealis: Wow, just wow! We went for dinner on a Thursday with no reservations and they seated us right away. I would recommend reservations because it was still quite busy. Definitely a dinner spot for business crowds. Our server was top notch, best dining service experience Ive had in quite a while. Our drinks came out quickly - recommend the Tiki Taormina (if you like tropical rum drinks). For dinner we had a New York steak (phenomenon flavor and cooked to perfection - would give Ruths Chris Steakhouse a run for its money) and the Parppadelle alla Norcino Con Pollo (egg pasta with grilled chicken, porcini & champignon mushrooms, and truffle oil, in a grana padano-cream sauce) and I could eat it every night for dinner. I am not a mushroom person, but this was a dish where the mushrooms added to the flavor and the cream sauce was the standout. The grilled chicken was so tasty it made me wonder if it was cooked in butter. Throw in some scrumptious bread and I am ready to go back for dinner now! Thank you for the wonderful evening! Your staff and food truly made it memorable.

4 /5 Pam Bee: Lovely ambience. Our server was pleasant, quick and courteous. Our group came on a Sunday night with reservations. They validate parking at the Wells Fargo parking structure. Lots of parking meters within the vicinity too. Parking is free on Sundays. . Ample servings and good flavor. I loved how my pasta had much seafood in it.

5 /5 Jason Pitcole: Sat at the bar as we had no reservations, and it was very busy due to a local concert. Server was definitely overwhelmed, but he hustled and made sure everyone was getting their drinks and meals. Ended up having dinner here because the menu looked phenomenal, and the meal did not disappoint. The Beet Salad was great and the pasta dishes were perfect. If in the area, this is a great place to stop by and enjoy a meal.

5 /5 Christensen K (KT): An AMAZING experience from beginning to end. Our server was helpful in making a decision on what to order. The decor is Simple Elegance and Inviting. The Flavors ....The Presentation...Superb. Definitely will return.
