Fine Dining&Conversation in Il Fornaio, Mountain View

We’re continuing our culinary adventures, and this Friday we invite you to join us for dinner at Il Fornaio Mountain View.
Located in the heart of MV, Il Fornaio offers an authentic Italian dining experience inspired by regional specialties from across Italy. From house-made pastas and wood-fired pizzas to fresh seafood and perfectly paired wines, every dish reflects a deep commitment to tradition and quality. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and lively—ideal for a relaxed yet refined evening with great company.
As always, what matters most to us is good mood, meaningful conversations, and enjoyable company — so come ready to relax, connect, and share a great meal together.

### Important RSVP guidelines for this dinner:

If you RSVP “Yes”, please make sure you attend.
No-shows without prior notice may be excluded from future dinners.
If we ask you to reconfirm your attendance closer to the date, please do so — do not rely on your initial RSVP.
Guests who do not reconfirm may be moved to “Not Going” to free up spots for people on the waitlist.

### Friday Dinner Policies (apply to all Friday dinners):

Our Friday dinners are the heart of this group. Because these events require restaurant reservations and fixed seating, confirmed RSVPs are mandatory.

• No walk-ins or crashers: if you are on the waitlist or do not have a Confirmed status, please do not come to the venue.
• Consequences: walk-ins or crashers will be removed from the group.
• Late arrivals: we understand traffic happens, but please do not arrive more than 20 minutes late.

***

### Why this matters:

Showing up without an RSVP puts our relationship with local venues at risk and creates an unfair experience for those who successfully secured a spot.
Action required:
Please keep your RSVP updated. If you can no longer attend, change your status to Not Going at least 24 hours in advance so someone from the waitlist can join.
You’re welcome to check out Rustic House Oyster Bar & Grill’s menu online before confirming. (rustichouselosaltos.com)
We truly value everyone’s time and effort and want these dinners to remain respectful, smooth, and enjoyable for all.
Looking forward to a lovely evening together ✨
