Fortina has quickly become one of my favorite go-to spots, whether it’s after work with my coworkers or a fun night out with friends. The atmosphere is always so warm, inviting, and lively.
The cocktails are amazing, especially their Aperol Spritz, one of the best around!! (Trust me!) Sometimes they even have live music, which creates the perfect vibe. The staff is always so sweet and attentive, and their energy really makes the experience special.
They also have a rooftop bar (open during the summer), which is such a fun spot to relax and enjoy a drink on a nice evening. Their brunch is also really good and the best part is, you can easily switch up your drinks to try different cocktails.
The food is consistently delicious, the service is wonderful, and the vibe is unmatched. I truly enjoy dining here and will definitely keep coming back often!

Fortina is our go to restaurant for lunch from work. Their choice of pizzas, pastas, salads and appetizers is fantastic.

All around 5/5. Food was to die for. Would take all my post pickleball dates there. Ice cream gets crazy.
Did not have bananas tho, so.

Don’t waste your money. We had the pizza here a few years ago and it was great, but this time, it was probably the worst I have ever had…. even worse than the 95 cent soggy cafeteria pizzas from the 70s. The dough was bland, everything was soggy and undercooked, the toppings low quality - not sure how you can screw it up so bad with a good oven— couldn’t even finish a slice and left — it cost $100 for absolute garbage. Management needs to rethink something here.

Ordered for delivery - we're 2 blocks away - and 45 minutes later a delivery guy called to yell at me that I had used the wrong address and he was up by Stamford Hospital. When I called Fortina they told me it was my fault - not the restaurant's - although my online receipt has the correct address and FORTINA CHOSE THE DELIVERY SYSTEM. There was not responsibility taken - no apology, either. The person who answered the phone said I could talk to the manager tomorrow.
The food arrive a half hour later, stone cold.
Very poor customer service for a local community patron.

Fortina used to be one of my favorite spots. I always looked forward to my meal—especially the lemon bucatini, which was hands-down my favorite dish on the menu. Unfortunately, things have changed, and not for the better.
The lemon bucatini now tastes completely different—the recipe seems to have changed drastically, and not in a good way.
I also used to love the baked ziti, but the version I had tonight was nothing like what I remembered. Even the pizzas, which were once a standout, felt off—less flavor, less care, less of that wood-fired magic that used to set them apart.
I’ve since heard that there’s a new chef, which would explain the noticeable shift in quality. It’s a real shame because this place used to be excellent, and now it just doesn’t feel the same.
Sadly, I won’t be coming back. Fortina was once a go-to, but it no longer lives up to what made it special.
Pizza was really good. We also had the fried calamari and pizza salad. Overall nice. Service was okay. Initially we sat there for 5 - 10 minutes before anyone approached us but once they did it made up for it because the food came out really fast. I’d definitely return.

I visited Fortina in Harbor Point last week with a friend for brunch, and it was such a vibe! We tried an Aperol Spritz for the first time and OMG—it was amazing. So light, refreshing, and the perfect brunch drink. We also had the Margherita pizza, which was fresh, simple, and full of flavor. I wrapped it up with an Espresso Martini—strong, smooth, and just what I needed to end the meal on a high note.
The atmosphere is what really sets Fortina apart. It’s located right in the heart of Harbor Point, with outdoor seating and an upstairs rooftop that makes the whole experience feel relaxed but elevated. Such a great spot to enjoy a sunny morning and catch up with a friend.
I’m already planning to go back to try more of their brunch menu, and I’m sure it’s just as amazing for dinner. Fortina is definitely a go-to spot in Stamford!

Took a water taxi and enjoyed Fortina’s patio for dinner. What a delight, food was fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere was just delightful. We had Chicken Scarpariello, corn, arancini and chicken wings and I liked every bite.
