Popular Italian restaurant, Il Forno, which recently reopened following a £300,000 refurbishment has seen a surge in bookings with diners wanting to sample its new Bocconcini bar menu.

In addition to the revamp, award-winning chefs at the Duke Street restaurant unveiled a new Italian small plates menu, which is already proving popular with food lovers.

The new menu features a range of Italian-inspired plates including parmigiana, pollo kiev and ravioli di cinghiale, all of which are made with the freshest and locally sourced ingredients.

Other new menu items include the costine di maiale, otherwise known as pork ribs marinated in a whiskey BBQ sauce, and seared king scallops.

Complimenting the new Bocconcini bar menu is a range of desserts as well as a variety of new cocktails.

Executive chef, Paolo Cillo, who has overseen the revamp of Il Forno, says: “The new Bocconcini bar menu is ideal for people who prefer a series of Italian tapas style plates. It is proving incredibly popular both at lunchtimes and as a dinner option.

“We are delighted with the feedback we are getting about the Bocconcini menu, there is literally something for everyone on there.”

Earlier this month, Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti and assistant manager Duncan Ferguson were among the star names to turn out for the restaurant’s relaunch night.

The Bocconcini menu is available every day. More information about Il Forno is available at www.Ilforno.co.uk
