Il Fornaio... Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The atmosphere and service were beautiful, warm and very inviting. The food, oh my gawd! I'm an Italian from New York, and this is by far, the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to! It even surpassed my grandmother's cooking (don't tell her I said that).
Every month they take you to a different region of Italy. The night I went there, with a large group, I had a pasta and rabbit dish, in a mustard cream sauce--oh my gawd, It was beautiful! This is no high brow place, and it's definitely not a jeans and sneakers kind of place.
Although a bit pricey, I highly recommend Il Fornaio.
Pros: Food, Very friendly service, Wine selection
Cons: a bit pricey
