Glad to hear it. All sounded a bit nasty there for a bit
Ilario's is indeed a good place. Two minutes from my front door...
There's an even better place near my folks' place too (IMO): the Allan Water Cafe in BofA. Superb fish and fantastic icecream too. I'm all hungry now!

Yeah I remember you now dude from TXN (I think!) Lol. Too many forums, but of course none as good as this!
