IL FORNAIO REVIEWS
Beautiful and well decorated Italian restaurant having options even for vegetarians - Really beautifully designed restaurant. It is known for fine dining specially during lunch hours - The cuisines are delightfully delicious. There are very few veg options but they are really good. The sauce used is generally high in flavor as opposed to bland preparation done by many Italian places. - Service is decent. Can improve the speed a bit. However they take care of your customisations.
This place has some great Italian food. The burrata I had is excellent! If you’re into good desserts, the chocolate one was delicious!
Jeff was able to get creative and find a wine that I liked to pair with my food! The food does come out quick but that might have been because they weren’t that busy yet.

PIATTI REVIEWS
Absolutely phenomenal food! We really enjoyed the overall experience. The service was truly wonderful, such friendly people. We had the soup of the day- tomato basil soup - and warm bread, it was fresh and delicious. Then I had the spinach ravioli (I added mushrooms), it was delightful! We will come again, I am sure of it :)
Weekend brunch is very- very good! Green canopy of young trees makes it so cozy even at noon on a sunny day. Way to enjoy California weather and a good food in the not crowded relaxed setting.
Nice ambiance! Indoor and outdoor dining available, wish we could've lingered but we were on the way to see Elton John. Food was hot, fresh and delicious, wonderful service and terrific lemon drop martinis!

TOMATINA REVIEWS
Great service and fresh tasting food. They went around the end of lunch so there was no crowd. Their waitress was really nice and their food didn’t take long to come out. They had the minestrone soup and garlic bread to start. They both tasted divine. For entrees they had the spaghetti and meatballs and the cheese ravioli. Both delicious. Would visit again!
Delish pasta. Prices were good for Cali life. The garlic bread was awesome. I recommend going early cause parking can be a while as it’s near a movie theater and other shops. But I’d go back just for those tasty pasta. Staff were nice and you can seat outside and place an order on the app and they’ll bring out your order so it’s worth it.
Went to celebrate a birthday and had a great time and a great meal. I love the chopped salad. They made the meal special for the birthday. Always nice.
