Antico Forno pleasantly pleasing

This will be quick. Again, lots of things to do here.

Antico Forno, eat there.

Pizzas and pastas are perfect. The risotto on this particular evening was an asparagus something or other. Lovely. I had a tough time getting away from the calamari theme. Ordered the puttanesca with calamari. The squid was nice and tender. Not tough or rubbery at all.

Nobody had insalata so I can't comment on the quality of greens. Zagat reviews have criticized them in the past. What I could see at adjacent tables looked fine.

Have the tiramisu. It is as delicate as it should be. Too often I have had tiramisu and there is something out of balance, sometimes suffering from too much cream or too much cocoa or the lady fingers are soggy. Not so here. At Antico Forno the tiramisu was exquisitely well balanced. Light and airy as it should be.
