I went to Il Forno on Sunday April 14th with my husband and in laws. I had never even heard of it before. The moment we were handed the menus (which were huge, by the way) I immediately noticed how pricey everything seemed. However, from the moment I took my first bite of their garlic bread, I was hooked. Only 44 minutes from the moment we parked, to the moment our main meals were placed on the table. And that 's allowing time for us to eat our salads, decide what we wanted, etc. I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca with pan seared scallops. Yeah, it was $34, but I have to admit it was one of the best entrees I 'd ever had, and it was actually worth every cent. It was absolutely delicious. Everyone else I was with also enjoyed their meals, and the service was very good. An excellent experience overall, and I 'd definitely go back.
