I was displeased to be greeted by the 20 people line up prior to seeing any staff member of Il Fornello. \n\nLuckily, the staff tended to the line before we could complain. We were seated in no time. \n\nBut our intimate Vday spectacle was far from private. We sat at a table in between two other couples in close proximity. Missing the NBA All-Star 3 pointer shoot out broadcasted in the bar wasn't my only distraction. I could clearly hear the conversations beside us. Fine, I was eavesdropping, but I could hear every word clearly. \n\nIt was a little difficult to concentrate on our meal, but the food was commendable and aligns in price. Portions are adequate in size. I highly recommend the wild mushroom risotto with chicken breast. And our waitress was exceptional.\n\nWe skipped dessert. Didn't want to miss the rest of the NBA All-Star festivities or hear any more bland conversation not belonging to to us."^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . .
