An exclusive feast at Il Forno just for you

You might not know it, looking at that massive, signature wood fired oven with its big mouth, bang in the middle of the restaurant, but Il Forno is about much more than pizza.

Yes, yes, yes, we know they are among the best you'll find, but now's the time to remind all of you 'in the know' people about Il Forno's other considerable gastronomic charms – particularly when it comes to fish, meat and, of course pasta.

The smart Duke Street restaurant, already one of the city's most popular Italians, has devised an exclusive menu for you and only you, the Liverpool Confidential readers.

For the next fortnight only, you can sample three delicious courses, plus two glasses of wine, for a tantalising £23.50 each.

We did just that last week, just to make sure, and predict a treat of an evening with a range of dishes as generous, appetising and refreshing as this superb value, two-week event.

Starting this Wednesday, January 27, and running until Wednesday, February 10, the Il Forno Strictly Confidential deal is bound to be in demand.

Have a look at the menu. It's pasta perfection, it's super seabass, and some of the best desserts in town. Oh, and the big difference is you can book it right here, right now. Go on, you know you want to.
