As an ex-New Englander, I had long heard about Al Forno down in Providence. Known for its great pizza and rustic Italian cuisine. Al Forno was on my must try list but never happened while I live in Massachusetts. Fast forward 20 years later and I’m visiting friends in Providence and of course, we’re going …

Classic Italian Eats and Pasta in Apex at the Classic Daniel’s Restaurant

August 19, 2018 by Ron Wen

Italian is about as all-American as Mexican and Chinese food given the ethnic make-up of this country!  Out on Route 55 in Apex down the road from Beaver Creek Commons is the hidden gem, Daniel’s Italian Restaurant.  From the outside Daniel’s is a bit unassuming and sprawls.  I’d have to guess that it used to …
