Forno's of Spain Restaurant   

Choosing among the myriad restaurants that line Ferry Street is no small feat. This area, known as the Ironbound, is bursting at the seams with eateries serving up seafood any way you like it -- grilled, steamed, broiled or in wonderful, aromatic paellas. This Spanish institution, while somewhat removed from its Portuguese neighbors, will not disappoint. From the ornate stuccoed facade decorated with ironwork to the heaping portions of super fresh fish and shellfish, its a great choice. Noisy, busy and family-oriented (don't expect a quiet conversation), its always a party inside. And dont worry about long lines - - this restaurant holds masses of people, so youll probably be seated fast. -- Jeanne O'Brien
