I have a work gig near my favorite suburban Italian restaurant next Wednesday morning, and would love some company and additional ordering power when I stop for lunch on my way back to the city. Post here if you can join.

I'd love to join; I'll have to confirm on Monday, since I may have to be in Hyde Park at 2 (hence, leaving the restaurant at 1:30, which makes for an all-too-short lunch), but tentatively I'm in.

I'm a maybe on this one. Bill is following in yourpalwill's footsteps tomorrow. With luck, by Wednesday he'll be at the point where I can leave him for an hour or so but still shouldn't be at work. :wink:

I can still attend, though I will have to leave at 1:30 (so if it's just us, Kenny, maybe we can meet slightly earlier?) Looking forward to it (and to TAC the day after).

Santander,

Sounds great. 12:45 is a conservative estimate. I will be leaving Lombard at 12PM on the nose, and if all goes smoothly I might make it by 12:20.

Kenny

This was a great meal - quick, not busy, chef on-site, reasonably priced for quality of food, and quite tasty. Kenny and I agreed that the tomato in the caprese underperformed for the high expectations of the summer season - it was underripe and served icy cold, although the flavor wasn't bad. But the consistently excellent and generously-portioned carpaccio and a succulent spaghetti bolognese held the table. Focaccia with white-bean puree and fresh lemonade rounded out the lunch. We look forward to getting something creative together here with a larger party soon.
