There's so much to adore about the Italians, and their cuisine probably tops the list (their politicians certainly don't). Forlino, one of the stalwarts in our local dining scene, has introduced an updated menu courtesy of chef patron Mario Caramella.

Recent additions include milk-fed veal shank with Vin Santo and forest mushroom ragout ($58). Did we mention there's also a special truffle menu through December? Sign up for some homemade tagliolini with shavings of white Alba truffle ($58) quick.
