Reviews
Located in a tucked away spot at the back of the Whitehall Hotel, this restaurant offers a quiet and intimate setting for a nice conversation. The beef carpaccio with micro greens was a delightful starter, while the beef short rib with creamed polenta was flavorful and enjoyable. The dessert options, such as the lava cake and tiramisu, were tasty but may be too rich for some. The wine selection could use some improvement, but overall, this spot offers great value for a solid meal. The rooms in the restaurant were a highlight, although service was very slow in some cases. The experience here was a mixed bag, with some diners praising the seafood risotto and Caeser salad, while others were disappointed by the lackluster dessert options and uneven service. Ultimately, while there are aspects of this restaurant that show promise, there is room for improvement for it to truly shine as an Italian dining destination, on average, the rating for Fornetto Mei is 4.
