WHY GO

Forno Osteria’s interiors are bright and modern but don’t quite capture the magic of Boracay’s rustic charm. But chirpy service and a broad menu represents a cross section of quality cooking that will appeal to family travellers.

TATLER TIPS

The brick oven pizzas are excellent and a must-try. The Diavola, with salami and goat cheese, is strongly recommended. For extra heat, request a bottle of homemade hot sauce (the secret ingredient is calamansi).

• Pastas are fresh and handmade daily. Try the ravioli di mushroom, with almonds and brown butter sauce.

• Equipped with a coveted Josper charcoal oven, the kitchen prepares excellent prime Angus steaks.
