We had lunch in Il Fornaio in the IFC area today. It's a little Italian place and it was delicious. I had a mixed salad and rosemary potatoes, and Brendan had a mixed meat platter (pictured to the right, courtesy of Brendan and his camera-phone) and soup, and lots of lovely bread. It didn't look like much, but it was busy enough, so we decided to try it out and were not disappointed. All the staff sounded Italian and the food was authentic. If I worked in that area, I would certainly treat myself to lunch there on a regular basis.
There are a lot of eateries in the IFC area - Milanos, Kudos, a Malaysian restaurant on the quays, and a few Italian places. Most of them were closed today, so it was an extra bonus that Il Fornaio, one of the few places open, turned out to serve excellent Italian food.
According to Babelfish, Il Fornaio means The Baker. Well, they did have nice breads, and also plenty of gorgeous-looking little pastries - the kind of little treats you'd take back to the office after lunch to keep you going for the afternoon!
