Forte

Just returned home from a holiday community dinner here. 36 people arranged around tables of 8 in a private room. Service and settings were absolutely perfect. Bread and bruschetta were served immediately, then large salads appeared. All tables were served almost simultaneously by well trained staff. Guests had a choice of multiple entrees, again served at the same time, but not rushed. No one was asked - "who gets the ..." because the stff knew which order went where. Ilia, the manager, orchestrated the whole dinner from start to coffee and dessert like a professional symphony orchestra. My GF wife was served her choices without making her feel different from the rest of the guests. If you want a pleasant surrounding, good food served well, and all aspects of your party attended to, dine here! BYOB - and the staff handled opening of wine immediately, wine and water glasses were on the table from the outset.

Absolutely delicious Italian food!!! If you're looking for a homey Italian dish, Forte has it! Perfectly seasoned and very large portions! The chicken dishes are to die for, literally. I've never had chicken as tender as theirs, and I've even tried multiple varieties (Chicken Murphy, Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parm)! You won't be disappointed! Oh, and the family style penne alla vodka, outstanding!! It comes out in a very large bread bowl, which is fun for the group in itself, but it's great because then you have bread for the rest of your dinner to grab from! P.S. - the food is just as phenomenal catered! 😋

We have ordered pizza and pasta dishes from Fortè on many occasions. Every dish has been up to expectation. The prices are a bit high compared to others, but I feel it is still worth it. The Tuscan Bean Soup is made to order and loaded with (my favorite) —> GARLIC! Just expect that Friday and Saturday nights this place will be mobbed with hungry diners. Want to save time and aggravation? Order on-line. There are two different pizza ovens, one traditional, one brick-oven if you like. There are two distinct dining rooms here. One for very casual pizza and basic Italian dishes which you can either order at the counter or through a waiter. The other side has tablecloth dining with a full wait staff. Fortè has an extensive list of Italian favorites which would be appropriate for this more formal setting. For summer dining there are umbrella tables outside. FYI-I’ll be the guy in front of you getting dinner!

Had lunch here with four friends. Food and service were very good. I had pasta with broccoli Rabe and shrimp -- really tasty. We shared fried calamari which was tasty and tender. Excellent sauce. Good bread served with a light and tasty red sauce as well. There is an attached pizzeria but we ate in the dining room which is a lovely space with white tablecloths.

On Mother's day I had no reservation for my mother and I, and the manager or major d or whatever he is called was so nice. I was seated in five minutes. And when the other patrons kinda looked at me critically for taking up a little table by myself while I waited for my mom, he came by and cracked a joke and made me feel much better. The only thing that my mom couldn't have here side pasta dish because they were backing up the kitchen, but I understand and I wasn't too torn up about it personally. Overall I had a really good experience for someone with no reservation.
