Pasta Al Forno

Every time I go to geangelos it’s seems to busy. And it’s good. Just forget about it being where it is.

Were is it? Never been to it.

That is literally the only place to make it work in Northern Lights.

I had to Google it. That location is just awful.

I'm maybe limiting myself, but if I see a restaurant is in a hotel, I almost immediately want nothing to do with it.

Agree. Unless it's a well known chain like Johnny's in the WDM hotels, I just assume that it's some type of branding associated with the hotel chain. I'm not voluntarily eating room service type food if I'm not staying in the hotel.

They are missing out on a goldmine. Porno at Forno's. Be like porn in the morn.

I don't know how any restaurant makes it long term let alone a new restaurant, I'm probably cheaper than most but it's too damn expensive to go out to eat anymore. We might go to an actual sit down restaurant once a month or less, my heart can't handle $70+ for 4 people to eat more often than that.

$70 for 4 people? Where do you live?

I’m happy if it’s under $100 for 2 people.

Iowa, it's the nice thing about living where people don't actually want to be. Strict no apps, no dessert policy though.

If you can’t handle $18/person for four people, then I guess McDonald’s is more your fancy and you are as cheap as you pointed out.

As far as dining out goes, I don't mind spending some money on a nice meal, but at the same time, I'm also not above grabbing a Costco hotdog and calling it dinner, if the timing works out that way. Both options have their place.

My wife wanted Jethros last weekend (I know). We had 2 adult meals (a wrap and a small shrimp meal so it wasn't anything crazy), 3 kids meals and no booze and it was $92. Absolutely insane for how ****** the food was.

Oh and the "Inflation Fee" has since been replaced with a "Market Surcharge".

We're down to about once a month too. A few years ago we usually took the kids somewhere every weekend.

Arby's because they have the meats, and you can get a French Dip so it's international cuisine.

We just came from Pasta Al Forno. Going to miss the large portions and fresh baked bread. Two entrees and wife had a glass of wine which came to $45. We both came home with leftovers. Twelve in line when we left at 6:30.

Where do you live? That's a bargain for a sit down meal, even if the food is only decent.

Agree, was really a fan of this place. Pretty good steak and seafood dishes as well. Think the only issue was the location. I only ever got takeout which was always very good and prompt (never missing anything either).
