About Forte's Restaurant

Forte's Restaurant is known for its super friendly and attentive staff, who make sure to seat customers promptly and provide efficient service. The food, including the "Confused Shrimp" appetizer (also known as "Better Than Bang Bang" Shrimp), is absolutely amazing and locally owned. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable, with an $11 cork fee for those who wish to bring their own wine. The mussels appetizer and the prime rib are standout menu items, and the shrimp in garlic tomato sauce is also highly recommended. The restaurant has a full bar, and the bartenders are friendly and attentive, with top-notch service.

Many guests praise the prompt and friendly service, often mentioning the helpful and personable waitstaff. The atmosphere is cozy and has a nice, old-school Italian vibe, perfect for a meal with family, friends, or on a date. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old building, adding to its charm.

The dinners we did get were dried out from heat light. We asked to speak to management. She was very rude.
