My delivery was completely wrong. When I called to straighten it out and ask for the correct order to be delivered, the girl who answered laughed at me and made a joke. I order from this restaurant about twice a week. The manager told me the girl was “young.” No apologies for her behavior. Very bad customer service. My refund has yet to be processed.

Service: Valet arrival no wait, departure a few minutes
Seating immediately
Server was attentive, fast, knowledgeable. Bar was fast. Kitchen was fast.
Food/drinks: beef carpaccio excellent, roasted artichokes very good. Gnocchi and cavatelli were aldente and the sauces were very tasty. My wife had the chicken martini and I had the Chilean Sea Bass special, both were very good. Apple crisp was bland and small amount of tasty gelato was disappointing, but the ricotta cheesecake was good. Espresso was good and having Molinari sambucca is a testament to their extensive bar. Amarone by the glass was a welcomed surprise. Very good, will definitely be back.

Food, service and atmosphere very good. Drinks a bit over priced at almost $20 a pop. Maybe it's just Bidenomics or me getting old and out of touch with drink prices?! Great DJ on Friday night

my family and i came here for my mothers 52nd birthday celebration. we had very high hopes and expectations, as we have heard wonderful reviews and recommendations online and from people we know. upon entering the restaurant, it looked very beautiful and busy on a saturday night at almost 9pm. we had to wait for our whole 10 people party to arrive to be seated. upon sitting down, our server had told us that our party wasn’t supposed to be assigned to him. this clearly showed us disorganization in the scheduling or reservations, even though i had made this reservation almost 2 weeks ago. my sister arrived late and didn’t know where our table was. there was no hostess in the front to help her or greet her. the hostess was a bit rude with how she had finally greeted my sister. our order was taken very abruptly and late because the kitchen closed at 10pm. our server didn’t take our order for drinks til 30 minutes after being sat down. then we were rushed to order our food because of the kitchen closing soon. we didn’t understand why our reservation was accepted so late if the kitchen was closing shortly after. the food took a very long time to come out. the drinks also came out very late. when we received the bill there were many mistakes on the bill for items we never ordered. we never ordered specific appetizers but they were still brought to our table. we told the server about the mistakes and they were changed. the atmosphere was very loud and we weren’t able to have any conversations. the food was not worth the expensive prices we paid for them. overall, this place disappointed us tremendously and was overhyped.

We visited Forte Restaurant for a casual pizza night, and it was a great experience. The menu had some unique options that piqued our interest, and we decided to try the White Clam Pizza and the Hot Mike's Pizza. My wife loved the White Clam Pizza but for me the standout was the **Hot Mike's Pizza**, which featured Hot Soppressata, Tomato, Mozzarella, and Mike's Hot Honey. The combination of spicy and sweet was exceptional. The soppressata had just the right amount of heat, and the honey drizzle added a perfect touch of sweetness, elevating the flavors. This pizza is a must-try for anyone who enjoys bold, contrasting flavors. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. We'll definitely be back!

What I had at the bar was fine. But the long-haired bartender constantly ran through her fingers on hair while I was there. Then she made drinks. She didn't use tongs to grab limes. She used her bare hands without washing. YUK!!!! I would NOT get a drink she makes. If I have to, I will only go back to get a beer or wine.
