I was down there at 7pm this evening and not a soul was coming in till at least almost 8 (A family of 4... who looked to have just wandered in because they wanted some resturant food) <BR/><BR/>Service though, was great. I liked it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-1150269589383327482006-06-14T15:19:00.000+08:002006-06-14T15:19:00.000+08:00I don't know if you have tried Al Forno at east co...I don't know if you have tried Al Forno at east coast road, but i think it serve pretty good italian food too.

The cross street is Boon Tat Street (west of Lau Pa Sat as well as Cecil Street).<BR/><BR/>The prices are just like the other one: about S$25 (US$14.70) for a pasta dish, and about S$40 (US$23.50) for a set.bmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945804626363803948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12716084.post-1150206031250642522006-06-13T21:40:00.000+08:002006-06-13T21:40:00.000+08:00I'm having trouble finding the place (I was thinki...I'm having trouble finding the place (I was thinking of checking it out after reading your last entry and posting about the Seah street one when I got back, but you beat me to it.
