| Although part of a chain, Il Fornaio consistently turns out fresh, innovative dishes in an upscale setting. Alabaster walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and granite-topped outdoor tables create a posh environment. The food is equally refined, from the starters---such as spicy ahi tartare and braised beef with polenta---to the mains, such as rare beef tenderloin or veal scallopine. In between, try one of the many house-made pastas, including butternut squash ravioli and chicken cannelloni, and for dessert, don’t miss the bread pudding with figs and brandy or chocolate mousse with Triple-sec-soaked sponge cake. |
