| - Meh, I've experienced better at a fraction of the cost at Il Fornello. To begin, I normally ONLY get seafood pasta anywhere I dine . This time I ordered a seafood mix with linguini- shrimp , scallops, calamari. Lo and behold, it arrives, so underwhelmed by its appearance. Now, I normally don't add grated cheese to the pasta, but the taste was bland and I ended up with cheese on my seafood pasta to try to revive it. On top of that I end up with a raw scallop that just too eeewwww .. slimy and fishy. I get the manager.. he does the correct thing, says that another one will be ordered on the house, I say please, I'm starving. This time it's prettier in appearance, yet for some reason I feel it again that the scallops are not thoroughly cook... ( as if the fire was too hot and they cooked too fast and the inside wasn't quite cooked at the risk of burning the outside). Manager comes after I request for him, he thinks that its cooked I say I don't think so.. at this point Im full on bread and salad and I don't wanna miss my movie. I am told that its probably in my head at this time , I'm thinking probably but I know how to cook scallops.. I just don't think its in my head. Over all, place is nice, server was attentive, manager followed protocol when there's an oopsey . Will I go back? Never, Would I recommend Il Fornello? Nope. The food all around wasn't up to par, lacked visual presentation and real Italian flare/ taste.
