Forte's on the Square is a charming Italian restaurant located in a beautiful old building, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere perfect for memorable meals. Visitors often praise the friendly and attentive service, especially mentioning bartender Chris and waiter Chris, who provide personable and attentive care. The restaurant features a bar area that adds to its charm, though some note it can appear a bit disheveled at times.
The menu includes classic dishes such as Mama’s Tortellini, Chicken Alfredo, and Shrimp Prima Vera, all served in hearty portions that often lead customers to take home leftovers. The food quality has improved over time, with dishes like Parmesan breaded chicken cooked perfectly—tender with a slight crisp—and flavorful, indulgent sauces. A recurring favorite is the Confused Shrimp, which is served piping hot and smothered in a beloved sauce.
While some reviews mention limited menu variety and a short wine list lacking Italian wines like Chianti, many find the food delicious and the overall experience worth returning for. The ambiance is enhanced by good charm and cleanliness, making it conducive to conversation and warm memories. Although service can sometimes be inconsistent, the overall experience remains positive, especially when enjoying the main courses and the welcoming atmosphere. Forte’s on the Square is recommended for those seeking a cozy spot with flavorful Italian dishes and friendly staff.
