http://www.london-eating.co.uk/24173.htm Il Fornello Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating I decided to visit Il Fornello after reading the generally positive reviews on this website. I don't like to be negative about every aspect of a restaurant as it makes me look unreasonable however on this occasion I have little choice. There was absolutely no atmosphere despite it being a Saturday night and at least half full. The service was ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm I have been going to Il Fornello for a few years now, and whenever anyone comes to visit me I make a point of taking them there! The steaks are the best in England in my opinion (and I'm from New York and have been to many steakhouses in my lifetime). The meat is fresh and delicious, there are large portions and it is cooked perfectly. ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm I read a couple of reviews about this restaurant on this site & so booked a table for lunch with high expectations which, unfortunately, were not met. The first courses were very small. I had some bruschetta served on a bed of 'English', round lettuce leaves which were limp & unappetising. My wife's antipasto misto was more like a ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm Ate here early one wekday evening. The place was almost empty at that time so no atmosphere (not thier fault though) Food was certainly tasty and decent quality, but nothing that special. Service was very friendly and relaxed. All in all, decent value, decent food.....but nothing exciting. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm This is a great restaurant. I live outside London but make a point of eating here every time I visit. Discovered this palce nearly 20+ years ago and it hasn't changed a bit over that time- excellent food, great service and a genuine Italian family atmosphere. The pasta is great and the house wine is very good and excellent value. The stuffed ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm My friend and I went here for lunch. The atmosphere is very Italian and the waiter's were very friendly. We weren't that hungry, so we had bruschetta to start and asked could we share a pizza. The bruschetta was nice although it was only on french stick. The pizza came on two plates with the slices arranged - I thought this was nice as it saved ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm I regularly visit this restaurant as my daughter is a patient of the nearby Great Ormond Street Hospital. We usually have little time for lunch and have to fit it in between appointments, but we always make time to visit this fantastic restaurant. They are very accomodating; one time I commented that we were in a hurry because of an appointment ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm Service was efficient. Atmosphere pleasant and the food quite good but a touch over priced for what it was. I'd go there again but not be as keen as some of the other reviewers. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm This is my favorit. Always good service, value for money and delicious meals as Italian food should be: Simple and rich of flavours and taste. The wines are good as well. The atmosphere is really Italian. Only compliments to the staff. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm Earlier this year I ate at Il Fornello, not for the first time. Yet again I found the service quick, efficient and understanding. I asked for a table out of the general melee and got one immediately, and requested time to look at my newspaper for twenty minutes before being served with my starter. The staff complied with my wishes to the ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3403.htm
