A High Quality Taste of Place. When four restaurant entrepreneurs started Tastes on the Fly in 1999, they had a singular focus. Bring airport travelers a high quality taste of place by executing with the same passion as the original restaurant locations from the community. Each partner brought a variety of skill sets and experience from a slew of successful restaurant and event ventures. From its inaugural opening of a pair of Il Fornaio Caffes in San Francisco's new international terminal in 2000, Tastes has grown into one of the world's leading boutique airport dining operators. With meteoric sales growth to more than $110 million in annual revenue, the company delivers on its promise to bring top tier food and beverage options to passengers at New York's JFK, Boston's Logan Airport, its home base of San Francisco International Airport, and Denver International Airport.
