Late to this, Astoria, but I passed by Forno Italia the other week and saw it’s being renovated and “under new management” [attn: @remydwd]

Here’s what the restaurant looked like before:
Lots of red and faux distressing.
The pizzas are tasty.
Brick oven pizza has really become popular in Astoria – there’s Basil Brick Oven Pizza whose popularity grew so quickly they expanded into space at least twice the original size and added a little cafe. Via Trenta (GMAP) is still going strong and making excellent pizza. Tufino Napoletana Pizzeria is poised to open, too – Hurricane Sandy delayed them a bit, but they hope to be up and running very soon.
Forno Italia, 43-19 Ditmars Boulevard New York, NY 11105; (718) 267-1068; fornoitalia.com (GMAP)
