today? Get great advice  Authentic Italian  Beachowolfe Nov 3,
2012 08:17 AM  Prompted by recent discussion regarding
Erbaluce...  We have any Italian ex-pats here that can comment
on the authenticity of other restaurants? Specifically, which
dishes and what makes them authentic?    1. pinehurst Nov 5,
2012 05:11 PM      Cambridgedoctpr pretty much nailed it, I
think.      My godfather, now passed, loved Antico Forno,
because they cooked rapini and rabbit (not in the same
dish...the latter was a special now and then) the way he had it
back home in Casale, Carinola.      He was also knocked out by
Modern Pastry's marzipan.      I know others who are nonplussed
by both choices...to each his own.      1. MC Slim JB Nov 5,
2012 12:03 PM        I dined at Gran Gusto recently for the
first time in quite a while. I'm no judge of what's traditional,
but it was really, really good, and felt like a strong value, to
boot.         1. p         Pappabuona Nov 5
