Italian restaurant opens new branch in Beijing

The second branch of Italian restaurant Forno opened in Beijing's Sanlitun area, becoming a little "Rome" in the capital.

Forno aims to bring authentic Roman cuisine to foodies in Beijing. The decor of the restaurant uses burgundy red to create a space that combines Italian culture and modern art.

The authentic Roman pizza is a must-try - it has a rectangular shape with a crispy pizza base, and toppings can vary from traditional Margherita to smoked salmon and from sea salt rosemary potato to sausage and truffle.

Snacks and traditional dishes from Rome can also be found at the restaurant such as suppli, a ball of rice with tomato sauce.
