Came here for a post-baptism meal which turned out to have several courses…read more
We started out with a plate of antipasti. Everything was pretty good, but I found the tuna creme especially memorable.
Next up was a plate with risotto ai funghi and spaghetti ai frutti di mare.
I have to admit that I did not try the risotto since I am not that much into rice, but everyone around me really liked it. I definitely enjoyed the spaghetti. The pasta was al dente and the seafood was excellent.
Our final main course was a mixed seafood platter with salmon, scampi and piece of white fish (not sure which one) as well as mixed grilled veggies. It was very yummy. Everything was prepared very well.
In the interim, some fried baby calamari were served. I was more than pleasantly surprised about those. See, usually I don't like calamari at all. I always find them too chewy and uninteresting. But these ones were amazing. Lightly fried, crispy, not to chewy at all and with the right amount of salt - I ended up eating a whole bunch of them cause they were so enjoyable. Everyone should order those when visiting Forno D'Oro 2!
Additionally, I was very happy with the white wine that was served - Scaia (a mix of chardonnay and garganega - see my pic). It was light, crisp and just perfect for the HOT summer day we were enduring.
It's been a few weeks 3 months since I enjoyed this wine and I am still dreaming about it. ;-)
The service was very friendly and pretty efficient considering that they had to serve our group of 20 on top of their other customers.
Thumbs up for being patient all the time while small children were running around.
