"Il Fornaio's theme may be Italian, but the food is, in its way, just as American as it is Italian. The restaurant format is successful because it has adapted Italian cuisine to Americans' changing tastes...."

"Half of the entree's listed were 'unavailable at this time', as were the best choices from the wine list and bottles of flat water. Quite possibly the worse service I have ever suffered through!..."

"The pasta, if it can be called that, looks like it was made by a hungry college student. There are so many better places for pasta, namely Macaroni Grill across the street...."

"The classy Italian restaurant chain (which started life decades ago as a network of bakeries in Italy) is peppered all across California, but it's always a good choice for a semi-fancy meal with folks from out of town. The food's great, the service is ter..."

"Don't believe anyone who tells you to go to All India or Akbar, those places have absolutely nothing on Mezbaan. All of their food is insanely delicious but the chicken tikka masala, malai kofta and tandoori lamb really stand out for me...."

"This is more than a casual place to grab a plate of pasta but not so upscale you need to consult your accountant. This classy trattoria has it all-wonderful, fresh pastas, rotisserie duck, chicken and rabbit that are absolutely mouthwatering, to put it mi..."
