"In the Ironbound neighborhood that has constantly evolved over the past two centuries, Forno’s, open since 1980, is considered a cornerstone of the Iberian dining scene. “Traditional” and “classic” are often used to describe it, and while not hip compared to the area’s new wave of restaurants, it still draws crowds for its dependable and a bit more upscale food and service. Eight different types of paella (seafood lovers should go for the black rice version) and a family-style menu make it perfect for a group outing." - Hank Zona
