Il Fornello, Toronto, ON

My colleagues, Baljeet, Helene and Steve, took me out for lunch today to celebrate my birthday.  We went to Il Fornello at Yonge/St. Clair. 

We've been there before and today was the busiest we've ever seen it.

Baljeet had Linguini Pollo Pesto ... she said it was good and would order it again.

Helene had Salsiccia Italiana pizza ... she too said she would order it again.

I usually order a pepperoni pizza there (it's delicious!).  I'd been there yesterday with my manager (the restaurant selection where we work is slim) and that's what I had.  So I thought I'd try something different.  I love Chicken Parmigiana so that's why I ordered, as did Steve.  We both thought it was so-so, kinda blah, and we wouldn't order it again.

Here we are ... me, Baljeet, Steve and Helene.

Alas, Imran is celebrating Ramadan so didn't join us.

We have a good team and it was so nice of them to take me out for lunch.
