| - Wonderfully delicious! I've been wanting to try this place since they opened, but in looking at their menu online, they seemed a bit pricey which had me nervous we would pay quite a bit for a mediocre meal based on some of the reviews. With today being Small Business Saturday, we took advantage of the AmEx promotion and the fact that they participate in the Southwest Rewards Dining program, and gave it a shot. We went for lunch at 3PM (yes, I'm weird - I eat lunch at 3 on most days!).
I am so glad we did! Neither my husband nor I are huge eaters at one sitting, so we agreed beforehand that we'd split an entree there and order a pizza to go for dinner tonight (yes, I need a break from turkey - it's back to turkey soup tomorrow!). It took us forever to agree on an entree, but our server Patty was super patient and friendly. She promptly brought us drinks and yummy bread - okay it's the fault of the bread and balsamic/olive oil (and all the delicious aromas in the air!) that it took me forever to decide as I couldn't concentrate on the menu!
We finally agreed on lobster ravioli as our entree and the salami picante pizza with added olives and jalapenos as our dinner to go. Our entree came out in about 10 minutes and my first thought was yikes - we're splitting this little bit of food? Then, we tore into the deliciousness! Perfection - good chunks of lobster and the vodka cream sauce was amazing. We were stuffed!
Then Patty brought out our pizza to go and showed it to us to make sure it was correct - we both started drooling on the spot, but give us credit please - we did make it the 1/2 mile home and inside the front door before we agreed that we each needed "just a bite" to try it hot and fresh - it tasted even better than it looked and smelled, if such a thing is possible.
We've been home a few hours now - alternating between napping off all that deliciousness and having "just another bite" of pizza heaven... now I need to figure out what's for dinner!
Glad we finally made it into Il Forno! Patty was very friendly and efficient and the food was ahhhhhmazing! We shall be back! (And we also got their take out and delivery menu - delivery is $1/mile which is a bargain!)
Only negative - would have been nice to enjoy the patio today and eat outside (and escape all those mouthwatering aromas that had my stomach growling as soon as we walked in!) but that option was not available. I'm guessing after reading more reviews before posting this that it was some of the negative ones that caused them to do away with that option - boo-hiss!
Adding ~ looked at the survey questions before posting and regarding dress code - we went in mid-day after local shopping and were casual - jeans/sweater/boots for me and shorts/tee/sneakers for my husband. I felt comfortable, but probably would want to dress up a little nicer in the evening - so I answered "not sure" for that one.
