We always enjoy Sunday brunch at Il Fornaio. The eggs benedict and pancakes are wonderful. The service is great. It's a very pleasing atmorsphere. We were disappointed on our most recent visit, however, when they did not have pure maple syrup! More

This chain is always a good choice. We visited this location on a recent trip to SF and booked the Tuscan room for a group dinner. The food and service both excellent. Menu prices quite reasonable with good portion size. Would not hesitate to visit again. More
