Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

The restaurant is larger than it looks from the outside so it can cater for large groups and many diners. Despite that, the service you receive is personalised and given the size of the restaurant it is also very efficient. The menu offers fantastic variety but as this was my first time, I was told, "Go the pizza. Amazing dough!" Of course I obliged and was not left wanting. I have created my own pizza favourite, perhaps it should be called 'The Rebola' - it is Caprese con Prosciutto Crudo. So delicious when they smother the pizza base with ripe, juicy tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basilico; and, being so close to Parma, I find ordering any style of pig op top is a guaranteed win. YUM!! My dining companions ordered a range of things including salads, pastas, calzones and pizzas. Everybody had a content grin on their faces by the meal's end. Dessert was ordered by a few. I was a bit scared to after a few over the top cream dishes in Italy but now I have seen what is available at Passaparola, next time I am going to dig in! They were very tasty indeed (and a much more acceptable cream to dessert ratio was observed). My pizza and couple of glasses of vino russo came to a modest 12 euro including cover charge. Highly recommended.

The Best in Forlì…read more Forlì is not a big city. However it can hide fantastic jewels such us this little Trattoria. This is not far from the center of the town, but you can easily find to park your car. The food is awesome. The taste of Romagna (the Region of Italy where Forlì is located) with its typical pasta and meats is revisited with a modern touch. I strongly recommend this restaurant not only for the food but also for the huge cave where you will find a big selection of local wines.

I had the pici with the boar sauce, my daughter had the ravioli, and my wife had the pappardelle with mushroom sauce. All were amazing. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. And the wine is delicious

We arrived right around noon when it opens (beware on kin says that it opens at 11:30 am which is not accurate). Make sure you arrive before 12:30 because the restaurant suddenly fills up around this time. The atmosphere and service were very similar - no frills, but perfectly adequate. My dining companions all had pizza, which they report was very good. No complaints. I ordered a very basic chicken breast and French fries. It was nothing special, but that's exactly why I ordered it. I was looking for something uncomplicated and simple. This was a perfectly nice spot for lunch after visiting the museum, but I'd recommend arriving before 12:30 pm to beat the rush.

The place is family owned and run according to the best Italian tradition for trattoria. Super friendly and smiling people all over giving you any advice about the super delicious traditional food you are going to order. Starter with prosciutto, culatello, salame and pancetta is a must. Deliciousness for your taste buds and wow, how good was that piece of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese..... wooooooo!!! My first main dish was Tortelli di Zucca (pumpkin kind of ravioli) served with a very local soffritto sauce. Woooooooooooooooo!!! The capelletti were also super good and really like my mother's.... Yesssss!!! I stopped here but the second dishes were all super ones. Ok, nothing dietary or vegetarian, but this is all about super traditional tastes and super comforting northern Italian food. Like being on a Christmas banquet :) Local Lambrusco red wine is the one to drink. Nothing else. Rustic but so fitting the taste. I could not refrain from tasting the dessert and I went for Zuppa Inglese, can.t translate, but if you never got it..... you definitely miss something delicious. Espresso of course and yes, grab the bottle of Nocino to sip this Amaro while you chit chat and end this spectacular dining experience. So, tradition with real care to great tastes enhanced from "you are guest at my home" type of welcoming atmosphere. Not expensive. Book in advance as the place is small and can get crowded. Ohh, I did not mention, all over the walls pictures and posters from the cult Italian movies I mentioned earlier. They are proud of them, and so it should be :)
