Although the room is inviting, the service here needs work. We spent 3 hours at Il Fornaio on a recent Sunday evening. The average wait time between courses was about 25 minutes. We had no special orders or requirements. With all that time to look around I also noticed that everything was a bit dingy. The copper pots hanging over our heads, though festive, were covered with dust and were turning black. Everyone survived but it was tough to appreciate the food when we spent such a long time waiting for it. Also, generic Italian is definitely the name of the game here. For the price and service I will NOT be returning anytime soon as there as so many other more interesting choices in the Italian line.
