Il Fornaio San Jose

It is my 2nd time to eat at Il Fonaio. I always order steak and it never fails to satisfy me. My wife ordered chicken and it tastes good as well. The chocolate cake was so good but ofcourse anything sweet is good. Customer service is great. The only concern I have is that they didnt automatically provide the steak knife knowingly that you ordered a steak. About parking you can park in front of The Westin Hotel for Valet. Less than 6hrs is $25.

I've eaten here 3 nights in a row while staying at the Westin for business. Meals have been excellent. The menu is diverse and there are plenty of excellent dishes to try. Wine list is extensive with several options and all staff have been attentive and provided great service. Highly recommend to anyone in downtown San Jose.

4 stars for the location and ambience. Food gets 2 stars. No good taste or worth mentioning. Appetizers were ok but entrées were not good. Lots of seating available. Think it’s all indoors only.

For an Italian restaurant that supposedly makes their own pasta in-house, I did not expect that they would overcook the pasta on every dish. The best dishes were the appetizers. The sauces for the pastas were good but not particularly impressive. Service was friendly and food came out in a timely manner. Prices are not worth the quality.
