Forno.London

I wanted to visit this place since a long time, as my reliable Italian friend from Roma swears they do one of the best maritozzo that he has ever tasted. I live very far from their east London location, but today I had some time to kill before a movie at the Genesis cinema, so I managed to finally taste 3 of the excellent pastries and desserts they make. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was ecstatic. I had the maritozzo, an Incredibly good one, with fresh and delicious filling, the tiramisu, one of the best I ever had in London, and the Gianduia bun as well. All of them incredible, with extra bonus points for the maritozzo and the tiramisu. The queue was not too long and it moved very fast. The service is very nice. The atmosphere I decided not to rate because the mix of the people queuing, added to the families with children, plus the customers that are more intent to take pics rather than taste their wonderful pastries, might not be to everyone’s taste. However, what they serve, food wise, is of the highest quality, and deserves to be praised. Lastly, they also sell quality wines and delicacies such as anchovies from Cetara, a very rare find in London and the Uk. Go early to avoid the queues, and, if you like savoury food, you will also find many options that looked incredible ( I saw the mini fried pizzas- called montanarine in Campania - that really looked like they deserve a separate trip to east London ! ). Thank you guys!
