Il Fornaio Walnut Creek

Had a wonderful business lunch at Il Fornaio. We shared orders of calamari (light and crispy) and brussels (nicely roasted with a tang) . I opted for one of the specials today, the Al Funghi over Polenta (love the mushroom mix), my colleagues chose the Ravioli Lucana (spinach ravioli stuffed with Italian sausage) and Insalata Regina with Chicken for their entrées. For dessert it was a scoop of chocolate gelato and Setteveli (chocolate cake w mousse and hazelnut praline) Il Fornaio is a chain, but the quality of the food has always been consistent and delicious and today was no exception.

Rita was very friendly. She was always smiling when she talked and I loved that the most! The other staff didn't acknowledge us when we passed them by. Food was good and dessert was yummy too!

The service was Exelelnt and the food was Wonderful. A bit pricey but it was a several Birthdays in my Family celebration and we did have a really good Time. We will probably go there next year.

Finally tried this place for lunch. Seated quickly. The waitress was attentive. Bread came out with the Regina salad. The salad was different for me, considering the couscous, but very tasty. Large portion so we shared it. He ordered the lasagna which was also a surprisingly big portion. A little underwhelming in the flavor department and there was a soft, almost creamy cheese on top that we couldn't identify. I ordered the seasonal gnocchi dish to try, but with pasta. The sauce itself was not enjoyable. The waitress was nice enough to let me order something different. I went with the linguine mare pasta with a little extra spice. Loved every bite! Id come back here for the service alone. Please forgive the angle on the seafood pasta pic!
