Il Forno Restaurant,

25-27 Airport Road, Fitchburg, (978) 345-2511.

The food's great, the portions huge, the prices low, and the team-style service enthusiastic and cordial. Look into the wide-open kitchen as you await superb pasta dishes (including homemade potato gnocchi), pizzas (clam pizza?), and veal, seafood, and chicken entrees. The BYOB policy helps keep your cost down further.
