Square Meal Review of Fornata ?

Following in the wake of their smash-hit prima donna on Albermarle Street, the owners of Babbo have chosen Soho for their second venture. Referencing the Italian word for oven, Fornata serves all-day food with a southern accent in a deliberately rustic setting spread over two floors. Expect an upbeat, Italian-speaking welcome & a difficult time choosing from two-dozen small plates, followed by an equal number of more substantial dishes from the kitchen & wood-fired ‘forno’. You might try some bread-based nibbles: sausage bruschettine, beef carpaccio on piadina, or rosemary & olive oil schiacciatina, for instance. Otherwise, the menu runs to deep-fried mozzarella, San Daniele ham, chicken salad with artichokes, & ‘incredible’ tiramisu cheesecake. The styling is attractive & commercial, tinged with retro, & the appeal is likely to be all-round.

    I booked a table for my boss and her friend for dinner. They said it was an enjoyable evening and the food was good, so was the service and the atmosphere was buzzy. It's good value for money but a more casual type restaurant where you might go for lunch or dinner with friends or some colleauges but not for clients.
