| - Today's business lunch was at Il Fornello in Queens Quay Terminal. Lusso (their "sister" resto-within-a-resto) was our first choice, but it has now closed for the season, so we went for the ol' standard. It's a good place to meet people - great casual/upscale feel, accessible and delicious food, fab service - though Lusso is quieter.
It's always a lovely and lively atmosphere, and today was no exception.
Service was quick and attentive, our server was well informed about the menu and cheerful without being annoying or seeming fake.
Two in our party of three (including me) ordered the Funghi e Rucula pizza (sautéed wild mushrooms, arugula, tomatoes, shaved grana padano, roasted shallot vinaigrette), while the third ordered the Fichi, which has mascarpone, warm prosciutto, figs, shaved grana padano, a drizzle of honey & lemon dressed arugula. All were very yummy and eaten quickly, the leftovers all packaged up and taken home with us. It's always a good sign when everyone wants to take what they didn't finish home!
I had a white wine spritzer which was PERFECT. A perfect spritzer is hard to find, just like a perfect martini.
