Forno Cultura is a beautiful, Italian-style bakery on Queen between Dovercourt and Ossington. Each day, bakers whip up freshly made breads and pastries using Italian recipes that have been passed down through generations. Some of the most popular items are the pugliese bread (a rustic loaf similar to a ciabatta) and chocolate-hazelnut biscotti that have a line of rich chocolate running through the middle in addition to roasted hazelnuts. Also available are imported oils, sauces and spreads to serve with Forno’s homemade goods. The open bar provides a stunning display of all its offerings, which include pre-made sandwiches on the breads and croissants — and also allows for customers to watch the bakers at work. Mangia, baby!
