content: This place it average at best.   Our meal was a mixed bag of good and bad.   \n\nOn the good side, took our reservations and when we showed up on time we were promptly seated.   Also, they had a very nice Carpaccio appetizer.   That was well done.   That was it... no more good.\n\nOn the bad side,  all of the dinners were rather bland and tasteless.   My wife's lamb chops were nothing to write home about.   Several of us had pasta.   My chicken, bacon and cheese pasta had cheese and maybe a speck or two of bacon.   The chicken must have out run the chef that day.   It was nowhere to be seen.   The server forgot my friend's order, although she did write them all down.  So he had to wait while they rushed his order through which left him to snack on bread as he waited.  Oh wait, the bread was emptied in the first 5 minutes we were there, and no refills on bread or water.   (Wow, I felt like I was in jail!)  When his meal finally came, it was more than Al Dente... it was almost stiff!   The next time we saw any server, it was to present us with the bill.   Oh well.   \n\nWas IL Fornaio bad?  Not really.   Was it disappointing?   You bet it was.   Was it worth the money?   No way.    Will I be back?   Nope, I will try many new places before I come back here.
