Il Fornaio - Santa Clara

This was my first time ever here for a friend's birthday dinnerWe had a group of 7 and the staff who helped us were incredibly nice and accommodating.

3.8 stars Pros: 1Nice decor, a bit noisy so good for your noisy friends. 2 Truffle pizza is divine! 3$20 corkage is ok Service was good. 4.

Pro tip: check-in for a free appetizer! I've gotten both the Bruschetta and the Calamari and both are good but nothing special.

Server was incredibly rude. I never asked if we need to refill drinks. I never asked if the food was okay. Ordered a medium-rare prime rib. It came out medium good. My husband's middle rib was much rarer than mine. Just an overall bad experience.

The food was great. We had the prawns and the chicken parm.
