I live a life of convenience. So sometimes I go to places not because it is good. But because it is easy. (Harry Potter anybody?) And one of those places that I for some reason (the calzone) or another (no good italian restaurants in the east) frequent is Al Forno's.
I have brought many people there and I have to say each time I have been rarely moved. Well, my bowels at least. The food has always been mediocre and it seems that Italians don't mind feeding locals with bad italian food because Singaporeans can't tell the difference. I have a curse like Harry's scar on his forehead. So I can.
Recently, or not so recently, they moved across the street. I have been there countless of times but I have to addmit that ever since the move (although a temporary one), their food quality has improved. Before I would gripe about their poor service, and I still do, but their food quality has dramatically improved. I have been back twice since the move and I have to say that each time, I left satisfied (which is quite rare if you ask my wife).
The calzone comes out pipping hot, the stuffings in the calzone has increased, the quality of olive oil has improved, my spaghetti vongole was delicious, not as good as Valentino's but still decent. And I leave the place telling myself that I might actually WANT to come back.
