FORNO

You'll find yourself on Andrews Road in Dalston, where Forno sits quietly among the neighbourhood's increasingly interesting food spots. Walk in and the smell hits you first—that deep, yeasty warmth of proper fermented dough. They're doing Roman-style baking here, the kind that doesn't rely on shortcuts or commercial yeast nonsense. The counter's stacked with sourdough, ciabatta, and pastries that feel genuinely made rather than assembled. It's the sort of place where locals actually queue, which tells you something about what's coming out of that oven.
