    Nearly ten years ago on a warm evening in July, my very nervous husband (then fiance) and I…read moregathered at Villa Borromeo with my parents, siblings, friends and family. For many of them, this was the first time they met my American husband. We were seated at a long table outdoors, surrounded by green vines in the luscious garden of the villa. So why were we nervous? Because this was the night we announced our engagement, and we had chosen Villa Borromeo to have our (small) party. By European standards we were young to get engaged, though we had agreed to wait several years. I remember little of our dinner that night, but I will always remember our beautiful surroundings as we told our family that we were getting married. Four years later we returned to Villa Borromeo, this time with about fifty friends and family members, to celebrate my birthday and to welcome everyone as they arrived in Italy for our wedding. The villa opened up their rarely seen upstairs room for champagne, and we talked and laughed as I opened my presents and simply enjoyed having everyone together again in one place. After the drinks, we went downstairs into their beautiful cellar restaurant where they had set up large tables for our six course meal. And my god, the food kept coming: Crostini with porcini-truffle spread and chicken liver spread, delicate meats and cheeses, large plates of fresh pasta, meats, ice cream, fruits. A true feast that went down easily with a rich selection of velvety Chianti wines. We could barely finish all the food, it was wonderful. Everyone went home filled to the brim with fine Tuscan foods and wine (no drunk driving, my father had arranged a bus). Villa Borromea was a generous host that made both our special events absolutely perfect. We couldn't have chosen a better location to announce our engagement, celebrate my birthday, and welcome our guests before our wedding. A big thank you to all the amazing staff!

    Best Home Cooked Italian food I have ever had in my life! My Grandmother would slap me with a…read morewooden spoon but I telleth the truth! Went 2 nights in a row! Freshest selection of everything! It's this type of place that makes life worth living! I continue to fantasize about this wonderful eatery Every now and then! Bottom line it's worth flying here just to smell the fabulous cuisine wafting from the kitchen! Do they deliver?

    Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.
