Discovery Shores Boracay is a premium hideaway in the world-famous island. The resort is well-known for top-class service, comfortable rooms and amenities, exquisite meals, and most especially its breathtaking sunset view by the Sand Bar.
There's a gem tucked away in this resort, too: Forno Osteria — a fine Italian restaurant perfect for a rustic dining experience with the family, or a romantic dinner for two.
"Forno," which means "oven" in Italian, and "Osteria," which translates to "Italian restaurant serving wine and good food," aptly describes the restaurants. It features two industrial ovens, a pizza brick-oven and a Josper oven, at the center of its show kitchen.
Dining at Forno Osteria is like waking up on Christmas morning with lots of gifts waiting to be opened. Try the homemade Linguine alla Vongole and savor the sweet-salty freshness of clams, complemented by the al dente firmness of the pasta and the slight kick from the chili flakes.
The steaks, always the star of the night, are made from the finest cuts of hand-selected, primed USDA Angus Beef, cooked to perfection in the Josper oven. Originating in Barcelona in 1969, the Josper oven is a specialized machine that combines the function of a grill and an oven — the age-old art of grilling over charcoal and the convenience of controlled oven cooking temperatures. The cooked steak has a slight char on the outside but is still juicy and tender on the inside — thus, the smokey and full-bodied flavor of grilled meat with the juicy tenderness of the steak.
Freshly made pizzas are made from hand-stretched dough, topped with the right amount of local and imported cheeses, fresh tomato sauce, and herbs and spices harvested from the resort's organic farm in Sambiray, Caticlan. The variety of toppings make these gourmet pizzas a real treat. Cooked in the brick oven, the pizza comes out with a light golden-brown crust that creates the crispiest crust texture – a medley of flavors and textures in one perfect bite.
Homemade gelatos are the perfect, sweet, and cool way to end a night of discovery — something the whole family will definitely look forward to on their next visit.
Forno Osteria is open everyday. for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
