Fodor's Expert Review Il Forno

$ Volcan Italian Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Authentic southern Italian recipes, handed down from generations, are what you'll get here. It might be a challenge, but try not to fill up on the warm baked breads served with roasted garlic and olive oil. On the menu you'll find veal, salmon, chicken, pork, and, of course, brick-oven pizzas. Pastas are all named after women, like "Pasta a la Jessie" served with a bacon and tomato cream sauce. The menu also features lighter options like spinach salad with candied almonds and apples. Adding to the dining experience is the pleasant atmosphere created by wooden tables, a wine room, opera music, and the smell of garlic wafting from the kitchen.
