The food was COLD! All 3 main dishes, one which was fish. Our server never came over to check as for the meal. The drinks were well made and the Atmosphere/company enjoyable the restaurant was wide open. Guess we know why🤦♀️

Impressive venue for any special occasion from elegant bar, accommodating outdoor seating to private function rooms.
My first visit to this restaurant for a Saturday night dinner was disappointing. Despite a reservation, the place was nearly empty, raising concerns. Service was prompt with our wine, but lacked attentiveness afterward. The grilled octopus and zucchini flowers appetizers were delicious, and the only reason why they earn two stars. However, we had to request bread, which arrived stale with pickled vegetables instead of the expected olive oil. Our main dishes—linguine with vodka sauce and lobster, and chicken Toscana—were overpriced and mediocre. The pasta had only two small lobster pieces, and the chicken dish lacked vibrant presentation, with gray colored chicken and tomatoes and overly breaded, thin eggplant. The mashed potatoes were bland, though the spinach was decent. Other tables received extras like red pepper flakes and parmesan, which we didn’t get. Poor service, overly priced and lackluster food mean we won’t return.

A perfect spot for a special occasion or just a night out. The private room was an extra special treat for our celebration!

This is by far one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. I do not give out one stars often but I can not stress how awful this place is. I have been here twice and both times the food and service has been poor. Food is bland and overpriced. Just take the house salad for instance— tasteless, small,and mostly lettuce for almost $15. The citrus dressing was mostly oil and heavily lacking citrus. While I was working on my salad, my waiter asked me if I was done with my rabbit food. Uh… ok? La Foresta is advertised as using fresh ingredients but I fail to see freshness within their dishes. The free bread is simply not good— I like the idea of the pickled vegetables but the bread itself is a terrible carrier for it. I seriously can not believe how expensive this place is considering mediocre the food is. I fear the only people that truly enjoy this place are those that live in a bubble and have never experienced good Italian food. This place is advertised itself as fine dining but it is far from it. The plating of the dishes are also very odd. Wished I got a picture of the salad when it first came. Just odd…
Anyways, from the bottom of my heart, please eat anywhere else. This is not worth the $! It is wayyyy too expensive for what it is!!!!!

Great place for amazing semi high class plates of food and calm atmosphere, or after work at the bar with a great pizza chef and really good pizza. A lil bit of anything.
Great sauce on the pizza and the stuffed flowers, drinks mixed well, the crew is very nice and accommodating
