Il Fornaio

"Spacious indoor space with pleasant decor and different seating options, good variety of food options, food was good but nothing special Cons: the server was not easy to understand and his constant check-ins made us uncomfortable"

"Went to dinner with coworkers our boss took us to eat here. The service was great i had a drink which was delicious. I had the lagensa but it was not the best I have ever had everyone else seemed to like what they ordered"

"I stayed at the Westin and ate here three times (twice for breakfast and once for dinner). I really enjoyed the dinner. Nice specials, good wine and nice service. That said, it’s just weird at breakfast. They play music very loudly for a breakfast location. It’s a very odd selection of music which doesn’t fit a breakfast setting at all. We couldn’t even talk for our breakfast business meeting. Both days I asked them to turn it down. They did (thank you), but you have to wonder why this is part of their ambience choice. They also bunch everyone together in a very small space which is also uncomfortable. I assume many of the patrons are business clientele who prefer not to have their conversations overheard. It’s a very large restaurant. I appreciate seating people near the window but there are many options which doesn’t require them to sit right next to each other. The breakfast food is very average but has high end hotel pricing. To be honest, breakfast is a critical part of my business travel as it often involves breakfast meetings . I will most likely stay at a different hotel in the area next time."

"I ate breakfast here two times during my stay in San Jose. Both times I enjoyed my meals and the lattes were excellent. Most of all, the service was outstanding! I was greeted by a very friendly host named Abraham and was served by two wonderful people.....Alberto and Catalina! Both were extremely professional, personable and fantastic at their jobs. They truly made the dining experience terrific. I'm glad that I had a chance to enjoy this restaurant."

"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."
