Very nice Italian place! This is a chain of restaurants that operates in many different locations, so don't be surprised if you see another place with the same name in another city. The seafood mix platter was a great value for the price and featured scampi, scallops, salmon and sea bass with a healthy assortment of broccolini, carrots and potatoes to round out the dish. An excellent choice for a special occasion dinner or a business event!

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but for the price, I expected a much cleaner and more polished experience. The atmosphere was nice, but the restaurant itself felt dirty--we were seated next to a wall covered in food spots and drips, and the silverware wasn't clean.The food was good, but service was slow. My drink took so long to arrive that I was basically done eating before my glass of wine showed up. Also, I've never been to an Italian restaurant where you have to pay extra for basic bread (to be fair, it was good, but still).Overall, I probably won't be back--I'm big on cleanliness, and for what they charge, the experience should be much better.

Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our server was superb!!!! Her name is MELY. Friendly, quick service and very helpful. She gave us several recommendation and we decided to go for the beef. Turned out that it was a good choice. Also, since it was a celebration and Mely offered us desserts on house - a gelato and tiramisu ! I'm a huge sweet tooth and that was really a big surprise. And of course always worth the calories ;) really appreciate that she's so thoughtful.Really need to give her a big kudos, MELY.Environment The ambient was very good and comfy. It was crowded but wasnt too noisy. Always full capacity, so remember to make reservations !

The food here was good but I think the price point is a little high for what you get (I paid $80 for pasta with extra chicken and a salad). I enjoyed the pear salad, as it had just the right amount of dressing and toppings (covered but not drenched, wasn't lacking in toppings and everything came together well). As someone that cooks a lot at home, I didn't think the pasta or pesto was anything special to warrant eating out. I also asked for extra protein, and thought it was a little odd they just threw grilled chicken breast on top of the bowl (I guess I was expecting more cut chicken to be mixed in). The service was also OK. I felt like my waitress was over-checking on me when I didn't need anything and that I had to wait / flag her down when I needed her. However, it got pretty busy, especially with big groups and even on a weeknight, so things like that happen. The large groups were probably testament to this place being good for work or birthday dinners, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a more intimate date night!

Came here for New Year's Eve with my sister. We used to always eat at the Walnut Creek location and finally got around to going to the Santa Clara one! Very nice interior, server was friendly and frequently checked on us. The food and our seasonal drink was delicious! We had the pane with the olive and tomatoe spread, beet and il fornaio salad, the octopus, cauliflower and a pesto/chicken dish. Everything was fresh with a nice balance of flavor. Portions are generous, neither of us finished. Our drink, Twas the Night, was a light and sweet cocktail with a lovely presentation.One thing, I used to love when they would do special regional menus and would love to have that back. We made a reservation due to the holiday. Parking is easy as they are located in a square and have a lot. Sometimes the lot can be busy since there are many other restaurants and shops in the square.Definitely will be back!

Service and food is really good!We would like to thank our server Mely, we order a pizza that my wife didn't like because the cheese was a bit strong, and she went above and beyond to get us a pizza that we would like.I mentioned this because the oven was already off and the kitchen closing, but she talked with the manager and got us our pizza. She was an amazing server, checking with us several times if we were liking our food and drinks. We will come back for sure, my wife walk out really happy after eating a pizza she loved.

The food was good. This is a go to restaurant when in the Bay Area. The server- John Orrock is what keeps us coming back. His attention to every detail for you as a patron is fabulous. His friendliness, knowledge of the menu, wine, to checking on you and your party to make sure your dining experience is top notch.Lastly, nice touch to have a manager check on your party as your dining experience is about to conclude and truly ask how it was is a nice touch.Rate a 5
