Fortunato Fish and Oyster

Fantastic food, service, atmosphere. Feels a bit like actually being there🇮🇹.

The oysters were wonderful. Our fish plates were good, but not as unique as the menu portrayed. The music was very loud causing it difficult to hear our friends at times at our table.

service is really slow and your lucky if the manager doesn’t tell you the food isn’t cold. 0/10 pasta is not good.

Fantastic Food!

I had the Veal but everyone else had the lobster pasta and it was amazing.

Definitely pricey. Nothing comes with sides so be prepared for your bill to cost around $100 per person at least. Thats before any beverages.

Hands down the BEST restaurant in all of the Tri-cities and beyond. Innovative memo. High quality sourced food. Incredible atmosphere. Beautiful bar. Professional but very friendly service. Rivals ANY Chicago restaurant. Thank you for bringing your talent to us!

Overpriced and flavorless. My husband and I both ordered pasta, his with wagyu and mine with lobster. The descriptions on the menu sounded so good, but we got a (small) bowl of pasta, flavorless sauce, and tiny portions of meat. Lobster was rubbery to boot. Not a veggie to be seen, nothing. We also ordered the king crab appetizer, which was little one leg crack opened on a plate with legit ONE mushroom. That alone was 36 dollars! It was laughable, really. The only saving grace was the bread pudding (one small serving for $15) as it was the only thing with flavor and the only way we didn’t leave still hungry. I don’t mind spending some extra money on a GOOD meal, but this was far from that. We didn’t even order cocktails (Pepsi for him and water for me) and we walked away spending nearly $200 bucks and had to hit up the Taco Bell next door so we weren’t hungry later. Server was nice but we were in the back corner so we saw her three times. I get the theme of the restaurant but the booths are hard and stiff. Alas, we will not be going again nor recommending anyone does.

My family and I visited **Fortunato** based on a recommendation from family friends, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the cozy yet upscale vibe of the dining room set the stage for an amazing lunch. Our waitress, Paulina, was a delight—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. She explained that Fortunato focuses on Northern Italian cuisine, especially seafood, which excited us, as we often visit family in Northern Italy and are big fans of this style of cooking.

The **wine list** offers excellent choices from across Italy, and we chose the 2023 Surrau Limizzani Vermentino di Gallura—a perfect seafood pairing. We started with **Blue Point oysters** (fresh and wonderfully sweet, enhanced by a champagne mignonette) and **Calamari a la Plancha**, which was sautéed with cherry tomatoes, arugula, shallots, and lemon shallot butter—bright and full of flavor. The **grissini** came warm and soft, perfect for soaking up the calamari butter sauce.

For mains, my mom chose the **Linguini Aragosta**, and my dad and I ordered the **Ox Tail Genovese Agnolotti**. The linguini was loaded with tender lobster, complemented by a subtle fennel essence, while the agnolotti stole the show. The oxtail filling was perfectly tender, the fresh pasta divine, and the brown butter sauce (almost like a light broth) made the dish unforgettable. The finishing touch? A shaving of truffle. This is a must-try dish!

To finish, we tried **Luxardo Amaretto** (surprisingly almond-free and wonderfully smooth) paired with the **Chocolate Budino**. The budino, similar to chocolate mousse, was rich but not overly sweet, and the chocolate shortbread was the ideal accompaniment.

Paulina’s excellent service and menu expertise made our experience extra special. Fortunato has quickly become a gem, and I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know. We can’t wait for the grab-and-go deli to open!

Very nice dinner but prices are high with an exception of a few items. Additional fees added to the bill were offensive.

Linguini lobster tastes like rubber, escargot is rapped with pasta, all you taste is the pasta. You have to pay to have bread, which most exclusive restaurants with high end food give you free when seated. $9 for 3 breadsticks! This place is so overpriced and they charge an administrative fee. Let my loss be your gain, go somewhere else and spend $210 bucks

This place is great. Price is good to. True it's a little higher than it should be but it's a business and they need to make money. Wait staff is great also.

All I can say is the food amazing the service flawless over all me and the wife were delighted

Brought my girlfriends here.

They loved the “old school” bright, beautiful illuminated sign, and saw a full parking lot, so we made it a date.

I love breaking bread with my family when we get together. At Fortunato’s you’re going to pay for it.

Fortunato family decided that you get a nice candle on your table but no tablebread like every other full-service Italian family restaurant. $11 bucks for FOCACCIA BRICKS…Marone! The girlfriends loved the Fish and Oysters.
