Francesca's Forno

Editorial Review

Housed in the cherry of prime locations at the pointed corner of the North-Damen Crotch, eating at a table by one of Forno's floor-to-ceiling windows is like dining in a giant fishbowl. Naked ravioli (using a flour coating instead of a pasta shell), hand-dipped ricotta with honey, sea salt and black pepper, and roasted duckling with grappa-soaked apricots make this probably the most eclectic Italian restaurant in the area.
