Reviews for Il Fornaio at the Hotel Sainte Claire
We had our ceremony at the Courtyard at the Sainte Claire. It was the perfect place for the amount of people we had and also the fact that it was at the same location. The courtyard is very romantic and has small canlighs coming down from the ceiling. The cocktail reception was in the hotel's lounge which is a large area with lots of plush sofas and chairs, but the group circled around the bar. The dinner was in the ballroom which was newly renovated. Everything was wonderful!!! The food was
exceptional, everything from the wine, hors d'oeuvres, primi, entrees, and the zabaion desert. The staff at Il Fornaio was great. Everyone was friendly and a guest mentioned that the bartender was making the drinks extra strong :) Another thing to mention about Il Fornaio is the flexibility we had with everything. They did not have many restrictions at all compared to other locations.
We decided on a more intimate rehearsal dinner and we were very pleased with the private room we had, the food and the professionalism of the staff.
We used Il Fornaio for their off-site catering. They catered our wedding in San Francisco and were amazing. They were so easy to work with and dealt with our numerous questions before the wedding. They did a great job on the day of. The staff was amazing and friendly. The food was great. We could not have asked for more. I highly recommend them!!!
The food is always hot and delicious. A great variety of options for any customer to choose from, and be delighted by.
