Forte dei Marmi

This was my second time visiting forte & everything was nothing short of amazing! Our server Maximo was very attentive & even brought me gluten free bread to the table. I love how they cater to dietary restrictions (gluten) which was a really nice touch. Both of our drinks were great! We tried the octopus appetizer as well as the oysters (I waited all year to have them)! They are delicious. For our entree, we enjoyed the truffle mushroom fettuccine & the gluten free spaghetti Bolognese. Hands down the best GF pasta I’ve ever had! I’m still craving it. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth every penny! I will gladly return and recommend forte for a wonderful upscale Italian restaurant on Miami Beach.

I really enjoyed my dinner!! Massimo was so attentive the food was amazing. I searched for an hour for good Italian and found this after some research. Cutest date night spot ♥️

Genuinely the best upscale Italian experience I’ve had in Miami. Our server, Max, was wonderful. He served us quickly and was very kind, attentive, and outgoing. Absolutely loved it, definitely will be coming back.

Cute and very ambient restaurant. First off you must have a reservation to eat at any time. Second they do have two types of gluten free pasta and did take our celiac seriously. We had tuna tartar, gluten free bread and rigatoni alla bolognese. The food was fresh and hot and overall we had a great experience. The only pet peeve I have is when restaurants add auto gratuity.

Juan was fantastic! We went to celebrate my husbands birthday and we had a blast! Being from out of town we definitely recommend this spot for an upscale- fantastic service- night out! Thank you Juan for making my husbands birthday so great!

We came to celebrate our anniversary and the food was perfect. Ordered the Cacio e Pepe, Fettuccine Mushroom with black truffle, and Veal Chop porcini were all above the level expected. The Gelato Pistacchio was INSANELY large but INSANELY GREAT! Special thanks to Massimo, more than a waiter, our guide for the evening, for making our Anniversary even more special. Great service is what really sets restaurants appart in a truly competitive Miami market. An anniversary we wont soon forget!

On a breezy spring evening, sitting at the outdoor tables and having such a delicious meal sums up as a memory of this place for me. Generally restaurants around here are overrated and expensive. This place is expensive but overwhelms with food. I had plenty of vegetarian options to choose from and the waiters recommended the best. The mango avocado salad was so refreshing like summer was here. The pesto sauce pasta was so flavorful I wanted for it to last long and savored every bite. Apparently their pistachio ice cream is supposed to be the attraction but it was gargantuan that I didn't try. You need to have a party of 4 to finish it

Truly a great atmosphere not to mention the food was top tier, worth every penny. If your visiting out of town, this spot is a must! We got there around 10 and were still sited btw.

This was the PERFECT date night spot! The vibes here are romantic and intimate, we stopped in for dinner so the candles and flowers at each table really set the mood. Service wise this was a 10/10 experience! Our wait-staff was on top of every detail and we were not left needing a thing at any point. The food was DELICIOUS! The truffle pasta is a must try and for all the tiramisu lovers you have to get the table side tiramisu! I will 100% be coming again because it was so amazing!

Went there to celebrate our friends anniversary. Reservation specifically mentioned that it was their anniversary. Confirmed the day before and mentioned again. Got there right on time for our reservation. Restaurant was half empty but told our table wasn't ready and to go wait at the bar. 15 minutes later, asked about our table and were told they had no idea how long it would take to get our table. If this is how they treat people on special occasions, imagine how they are going to treat you on a typical night out? We left and had an amazing meal at Papi Steak where we were treated like royalty. We are south of fifth residents and I'm going to tell everyone I know not to go here anymore. Food is not good enough to be treated like that.

Always always always from the hostess to the barternet Marco, they make Me feel at home I have been a fan of the restaurant for years and never disappoint Me bravo. The food is incredible, like many places around the street... but the service and the romanticism and simplicity in the Italian decor are unbeatable, the best place in SoFi

To be completely honest, I came to Forte Dei Marmi with low expectations thinking it would be just another money grab Italian restaurant in South Beach. I am so happy that I was totally off! The staff were really friendly and the inside is very intimate. I ordered the rigatoni bolognese and it was great - really flavorful. Also, do not skip the pistachio ice cream. In a perfect world, I could have eaten the entire portion by myself. My only complaint was that the doors were open to the outside so it was really muggy/humid indoors. Really great place for a special occasion!

You will pay Miami Beach prices but the restaurant is good, and exceptional depending on what you order. Their bread, salads, pasta, exceptional. The fish, at least the Branzino we tried, not so great. Service excellent. We arrived after walking almost five miles on the hot and humid boardwalk from our hotel, so I was in shorts. The hostess informed us that shorts were not allowed per their dress code, but made an exception. We had the octopus plancha appetizer, mango and avocado "Forte de MArmi" salad, both excellent. The octopus portion was quite large. She then had a pasta dish (Truffle cacao and pepe) with shaved truffles, very rich, excellent, and nice presentation as served from a carved bowl table side. Unfortunately my Branzino was almost on the cusp of fishy and I would have sent it back, but just ate it anyway partly because the manager had taken the time to talk to us quite a while and given us personalized service so I overlooked the deficiency. The fish was over salted too. For dessert we had the pan cotta, light and very good. Note, 20% service charge is added automatically. In all a pleasant experience.

The service was great, and the truffle cacio pepe was amazing but was a little to heavy it had a lot of cream The bolognese was ok. The ambiance however wasn't very nice it was way smaller than I expected and wasn't nice enough for the price.

Can't say enough positive things about this high class, high end Italian oasis in Miami Beach. Forget dei marmi is known for 3 things: 1. Truffle cacio e Pepe 2. Pistachio ice cream/gelato 3. Incredibly long waits Love this spot but can't give 5 stars due to the limited menu (vegan/vegetarian options were few) and the 40 minute wait we had after our reservations start time. Will definitely return to dine among celebrities and go upstairs to Sopra for a drink! Also- the chairs are super uncomfortable ???

Visited on a rainy day with a friend for a cute bridesmaid proposal dinner. Staff is a bit on the unbothered side (unless you are a 'member' whatever that means) so prepare for a wait even if you have a reservation. Ended up waiting at the bar for almost an hour in heels with no bar stool. Once we were seated the service was good and all the food was incredible. The truffle cacio de Pepe is unbelievable and the giant pistachio ice cream was magical (definitely way too much for 2 people so do that with a group.) Fortunately, the food quality is worth the headache so even if the hostess body slams me at the door, I will be back. Definitely worth the hype.

Great pasta, I had the zucchini pasta. The atmosphere was very romantic and love the vibe of this intimate venue. The staff's service was on point, very attentive which is appreciated when go out to celebrate any special event.

This has slowly become our favorite restaurant. You cannot get better pasta anywhere. And, the steak is absolutely killer. Great service and ambience. Definitely check it out...

They could improve their service especially the waiters. Specifically the one we had, her name was "Agostina" we were suppose to surprise our friend by singing her happy birthday and she went and told the birthday girl and ruined the surprise. Food was good but great for the price.

Excellent Italian food , great service and very calm ambiance. I had the Linguine alla nerano and my friend had the truffle bucatini cacio e Pepe , we bought enjoyed our meals although the alla nerano sauce was a tiny bit too watery for me. I will definitely be back to try something else on the menu!

Stopped by to eat here since this was directly across the street from our hotel in south beach. The ambiance here is amazing! Very high end with great service and a nice warm low light atmosphere. The service is outstanding and the servers will take care of you with top notch help. The food was really good tasting and had good overall flavor. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice fancy dinner with good overall food!

Forte di Marmi in Miami is a culinary gem that transports diners to the shores of Italy with its exquisite flavors and elegant ambiance. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with impeccable service and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu showcases the finest Italian cuisine, from freshly prepared seafood to homemade pasta dishes, all expertly crafted to perfection. Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or celebrating a special occasion, Forte di Marmi promises a dining experience that is truly unforgettable.

Highly recommend this Italian spot!! The table side truffle pasta was worth every penny. And the table side tiramisu was huge but very delicious. You won't leave here hungry. It's in a great location and the ambiance is amazing!

What a fun ~Dei~ getting to check out Forte Dei Marmi! We came here to celebrate Mother's Day and it was a pleasant and sunny day to be at this half-open establishment. For appetizers, we had the baby artichoke salad and the octopus. The artichoke salad was so fresh and light, and I absolutely loved the avocado on the bottom. The octopus totally blew me away, I think it's one of the best I've had, and the size is plentiful too. For my entree I had the truffle cacio e pepe, which I enjoyed. The seafood pasta was tasty and they were not shy with the lobster at all. As for the rigatoni bolognese, this was a disappointment. It was not my dish but I tried it and, while the flavor was great, the pasta needed to be cooked longer for sure. Lastly, for dessert, I had the tiramisu which is prepared tableside. While it was a cute concept, I feel like it lacked flavor and sweetness so it let me down. Maybe it was the guy's first time making it lol. Further, the service was great and the food came out relatively quickly. Overall, I enjoyed my time and especially loved the appetizers.

I made a reservation at Forte Dei Marmi 3 weeks in advance. For a thursday night it was extremely busy, they must have over booked because everyone had reservations and were eager to sit. We sat down at our table an hour after our reservation. This place also seems to have a ton of regulars who just come in, talk to the owner and get their way, typical miami vibes. For appetizers we had the burrata and octopus which were not good at all. For entrees we had the cacio pepe and spaghetti alle vongole, both excellent, we devoured these entrees. For dessert we had the pistachio gelato which was as good as they say. The three stars are solely for the pasta and dessert. Due to the poor customer service and ambiance I would not return.

Review of Forte Dei Marmi. Let's dive into the food, the bread was really hard and felt old maybe because it was close to closing time, but it was not good. Appetizers- The stuffed zucchini blossom were amazing. Octopus really good. Branzino tartare was so good, it taste like a very good ceviche. Linguine & clam sauce - decent Oysters way over priced for their teeny size. But what I really went there for was the Truffle Cacio E Pepe-Basically the pasta in the cheese bowl with truffles on top. It was good, nothing special, way too expensive for the taste and the portion size. The three stars of the show was the La Vie En Rose cocktail OMG truly, truly amazing, Pistachio gelato again truly amazing and the chocolate tortino. 6.0 out of 10

South of fifth , Miami Beach ... probably the most competitive neighborhood when it comes to Restaurants in Sobe and especially if we think about Italian food. Forte dei Marmi gave us a great experience , I loved the location clean and elegant the service was outstanding, Andrea was very knowledgeable about everything and extremely nice ... the attention to details very high ... you understand right away that the experience will be great when you try the olive oil that comes with the complementary bread ... it was premium quality. We had artichokes avocado salad, zucchini blossoms... NERANO PASTA ( I am a lover of that one ) branzino and they recommended the pistacchio ice cream to finish. They also brought us caffè limoncello and cantucci. Everything was just delicious. Amazing place, can't wait to try it at night.

I live down the street so this is an easy walk for me, meaning I go often. It really does taste like your mom's homemade cooking. The atmosphere is elegant but doesn't pressure you. Service is always great well highly recommend

Cute spot and very Italian. Food was good and service was also good. We ordered the baby artichoke salad to start which was amazing. We also got the tuna tar tar which was very very good. For dinner we ordered the branzino filet which I thought was the best thing we ordered. The Veal Chop Porcini was okay and I would stick to the filet next time. The Risotto Seppia e Carciofi was very good as well. The tiramisu was good and so was the chocolate Milton cake, I wish we would've gotten the pistachio ice cream. Good spot for Italian food, pretty pricey but good.

When you go to Miami, you have to try this restaurant. Besides the delicious food, they have an amazing service and ambiance. Vibe is super cool. They are also famous on their pistachio gelato. It is gelato with the right temperature which made it the creamiest. Their pistachio is like freshly picked from the tree! The crunchiness is quite addicting but I must warn you to get the medium and not large. Their large pistachio gelato is giant . I'm rating this resto 5 star. https://maps.app.goo.gl/BpJTcGNfR7JGr2B68?g_st=i

We went her for Valentine's Day - recommended by the W concierge. We were seated outside and the private terrace - private with nice ambiance. They had low lighting and red roses on every table. Tables were pretty close together, and we were able to hear others conversations, but it wasn't overwhelming, just a bit distracting. We had the artichoke salad which was very nice. The avocado made it very creamy. Being s cheese lover, I ordered the Caccio y Pepe. Pasta comes out to the table hot and they put it in a warmed wheel of Parmesan until the pasta is coated with cheese. Watching our waiter swirl the pasta was a treat. He then shaved a generous amount of black truffle on top. . My first bites were heavenly, (almost TOO cheesy! Which I never say) but Unfortunately, as we were outside and it was a cool (but unseasonably warm) breezy evening, the pasta turned cold after 3 bites. I actually only ate about half of the order. If we were in the warmer restaurant, I think it would have been better. My hubby had the mushroom pasta which was very good, and kept temperature better. We had a great bottle of wine, and some lemoncello for dessert.

I absolutely loved Forte Dei Marmi. From the moment you walk in you feel an immediate charm and a warm welcome. For starter had the vitello tonato which was incredibly tasty! Thinly sliced veal covered with a creamy, mayonnaise-like tuna flavored sauce. Truffle Cacio e Pepe and Linguine alla Nerano were our mains. Pasta was PERFECT! cooked al dente to perfection and presented beautifully. A true 5* execution! Cant wait to return and have them again. Also the table adjacent had the branzino baked in salt and it looked heavenly - huge, which seems to be great to share in a group. Finally, dessert.Pistacchio. Pistacchio. Pistacchio. Gelato overload. Silky, freshly made and server on a marble slab. Magnificent! Even when I was full, I keep going for more. As great as gelato in Italy. Thank for the amazing service and care! Looking forward to a return very soon.

Be careful when using their valet parking services. We paid valet and we just received a parking ticket for the same hours we were at the restaurant and restaurant does not take responsibility for that charge

We came to celebrate Valentine's Day early and we were blown away by the service. Massimo made sure we were always taken care of. Food and drinks always came out extremely quick and barely any wait at all. It was a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy until later but the ambience was still calm and romantic. The food, it was spectacular. The Truffle cacio e Pepe was delicious, so much flavor and a good portion. My fiancé had the veal chop and the meat was tender and flavorful although the brussel sprouts were not his favorite since they didn't have much flavor to them. He did in fact enjoy the mashed potatoes with the mushroom sauce that the veal comes in. We also ordered the pistachio gelato, huge portion but it was delicious. It's true when they say it's not filling and it's extremely smooth but we still couldn't finish it. Overall, it was a great experience and hope to come back again.

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Miami. It's not has hyped as some of the ones in the area, and that's a great thing. You can get reservations, it's low key, elegant. Great service and amazing food. The wine list is high quality. One of my favorite dishes to share here is the Truffle Cacio e Pepe which is Bucatini pasta served in a Pecorino cheese wheel. It's a must order. Enjoy! I don't think you'll walk away disappointed.

This is the first time my partner planned our dinner for us in Miami and made reservations. I was very pleased! This restaurant deserves 10 stars! I've never been to such a fancy place. The owner should be very proud. You can tell the staff take pride in their work. I was really impressed. Everyone was so professional, polite, and attentive. Craving Italian? Your telling me. It's one of my partners favorite types of food. We've been looking for a great Italian spot in Miami, and we finally found it! It's time to share the secret gem with you all as we were so grateful to find a spot with great Italian food. Forte Dei Marmi provides an experience like no other. This isn't just dinner, this is pure entertainment. I was so amazed by how they create tiramisu, coffee, pasta, right next to you at your table, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was waiting for a celebrity to walk in, this place was top top. $$$$ Service was absolutely fantastic. We were so lucky to sit in the under roof but "outdoor" area. I say outdoor like that because you're not really outside. You'll know what I mean if you end up going. Our bill was $400 including tip for a group of 4. We got drinks, an appetizer, complimentary bread, 4 entrees, coffee, and tiramisu. We paid $100 each so it really wasn't that bad. We knew it was going to be more than our usual dinners, but hey, FRESH made pastas worth it. Don't miss out on this place. Truly the best!

Super rude hostess at 8pm on evening of May 25. She just stared at us and did not say a word. She played a staring game. I've read this negative review on the hostess situation at this place, maybe mgmt will address it one day. We went to eat at Prime 112, - where they kindly greet and assist paying customers.

It was amazing. The food and service were both really good. Best Italian restaurant I've been too. The design of the place and feeling too is good.

After seeing the menu we decided to give it a try. We were celebrating my son's birthday. They require a cc on file if we are late or don't show. We were a party of 6. Our table was not ready and waited 30 minutes to be seated. In reality there was no place to wait because outside was the sidewalk and inside was the bar area that was extremely crowded with the staff coming by with food constantly from both sides. It was very hot inside the restaurant with flies all over. Not ONCE did the maitre D have eye contact with us. He knew we were uncomfortable & cramped. When our table was ready he quickly sat another party that did not have a reservation at the table that we were waiting on. I walked to the hostess who had said that table is yours. She apologized and had that party leave and return to the bar. We were seated and had a very nice meal. Nothing spectacular that may want us to return. It was awkward from the beginning to the end. Our food came quickly and even though it was good we felt hot and had to fan the flies away from our food constantly. This is what I don't expect from a restaurant that charges $100+ per person. Miami has gotten out of hand and us locals deserve better! To the Maitre D even though we may not be the STARS you expected to service that evening you should learn some manners and at least be amicable to your guests and acknowledge their presence... Maitre D 101.

This place lives up to the hype! Such a classy, romantic little place for the perfect date night! We were transformed from loud neon streets of Miami to a little seaside bistro in Italy. We were seated outside on the patio and it was absolutely gorgeous. The patio is lit better than indoors and we certainly preferred that! We had to order the famous truffle cacio e pepe in a cheese wheel! It was heavenly and such a show stopper, a little gimmicky, but it is Miami. We also got some appetizers and the lobster ravioli, which were all delicious as well. Service here is impeccable and you must get gelato at the end of the meal!

Romantic restaurant inside beautiful architectural villa. but to say this is the best Italian food in miami like other reviews say is definitely an overstatement. As a miami native and a self proclaimed foodie theres no way this is "the best". First off- the food is good but nothing to run home and dream about. We started off with Tartare di Manzo- super refreshing and was good way to start the night- highly recommend Cacio e pepe is good and creamy but very overwhelming- recommend sharing this with 4 people and treating it as a tapas because i promise you after 5 bites youll have enough. Lobster dish was recommended by the waiter- delicious sauce and perfectly cooked lobster. He offered to make modifications to this dish and we agreed because he knew what he was talking about- glad we did as this dish was the star of the night. The pistachio ice cream was very well worth the hype but felt scammed by our waiter. I asked if they had a smaller portion size as i was the only one eating dessert and didnt want to pay something that i knew was going to be left behind. she assured me she could make a smaller portion for me. smaller portion= different price one would think... Nop i paid the same amount for one scoop! lol i guess its my bad for thinking shell adjust the price- had i known im sure my boyfriend wouldve ate some or we couldve taken it to go. Last comment but a very important one- i included a picture of the salt grinder into this review. It oxidizing and clearly not looked after. Ill end this review with quote from wise man Anthony Bourdain ".. If the restaurant can't be bothered to .. and floors clean, then just imagine what their refrigeration and work spaces look like"

Horrible. Empty restaurant and with a reservation they still didn't want to sit us because they couldn't find our reservation. I would say 95% of the restaurant was empty. I've been here before and honestly not worth the pretentiousness. Do yourself a favor a pass on this place.

Delicious Italian spot. The service was excellent as was the food! Love the truffle pasta in a cheese wheel. It definitely is on the pricy side though.

Honestly I expected more, the only reason why I'm giving it 3 stars is the place is super cute and the dessert is amazing. The gelato was great but it tasted more like sugary ice cream compared to a deep pistachio tasting ice-cream. The star of the show for me was the tiramisu! I'd only go back for that. The pasta was over cooked, almost mushy. I have gone to Italy numerous times, definitely not authentic. The appetizers were bland, I expected so much more. It's a hype/ touristy type of place so they're able to charge crazy prices.

I came here with two other friends last week and we had an amazing time. We were almost 30 minutes late to our reservation on a Thursday and they were very kind and accommodated us. The ambiance was very cute very date night/romantic. I enjoyed being around this ambiance and the waiter was very helpful and knew what to recommend. We had the branzino tartare, and patanegra which came with this truffle honey that was devineee. We also had the Truffle Cacio e Pepe and Rigatoni alla Bolognese. Both were outstanding in their own ways I could not choose one ! I was skeptical about the truffle cacio e Pepe because things in a cheese wheel don't usually give me a huge pop of flavor but this one did ! I couldn't help to notice that the pasta was extremely fresh and just everything was fresh. My friend had a mezcal cocktail she loved and my other friend enjoyed their wine. We had no room for dessert but that's okay just another reason to come back !

From the outside this place will definitely attract you to it. The outdoor seating was perfect on a Friday night. Although I didn't drive they have a valet service directly in front. The dress code is somewhat of a business casual and they don't allow hats. After being seated immediately due to a reservation made we were greeted promptly by our waiter. He was really polite and had great recommendations. We decided to get the grilled octopus for an appetizer. It was really good and not too grilled, like the texture was perfect. Of course I had the get the Truffle Cacio e Pepe. If I must be totally honest I couldn't eat it. The smell of the truffle or the cheese was really too overbearing for me. Although I did take a few bites and was please with the overall taste. If you're really into the truffle then this is the dish for you. Overall is a nice restaurant and kind of pricey but what do you expect, it's on south beach. I would come back and try something differently next time.

The quality of the food was astounding. Pricey but worth every bite and dollar. The cacio y pepe was amazing!

Awesome food and service! The food was WONDERFUL!! I will definitely be back!! Beautiful candle lit dinner! Great place to have my sister's birthday dinner!

We showed up early to our reservation and they couldn't get us in early, which is an understandable for a Saturday night. Unfortunately there wasn't a bar anywhere we could hang out at while we waited. But once we finally got sat we were served right away. The food was good, I wouldn't say it was exceptional. We didn't like any of the salads on the menu so we asked if they could just make a mixed green salad for us and they were able to which was very kind of them and I appreciate. Wish we would've got dessert but we were too full. Pros: service & speed Cons: overpriced

I used to be a huge fan of this restaurant.. every time i visited Miami i'd go here so I went this time too. But the problem was that this time I visited city by myself. However, i still wanted to have dinner at good restaurant. I came around 6 pm and girls at front desk carelessly told me that i cannot seat at the table, because they don't have tables for two... restaurant was empty. One table was occupied. They suggested me to seat at the bar. But bar chairs are so inconvenient and cold, you barely can seat on them. I kindly asked them to give me a table because i wanted to have dinner like a normal person. I had to ask manager to come over... after all bad emotions I already experienced... and 20 wasted minutes they finally gave me a table right next to the hostess stand that i had to enjoy the view of their asses. Okay... While i was having dinner one other guy came to front desk and asked them to be seated... they told him they don't have tables for 1 person... I was laughing... remember it is still empty restaurant. Very stupid policy ! You guys lose so much with this.... Sometimes you need to change your rules.

Overall delicious.The truffle pasta which was tasty and the gelato which reminded me Rome was insanely delicious 4 stars cause the house salad was over salted and not cut (half pieces of tomatoes etc)

Lets start with the obvious, this place is expensive, as most restaurants are in Miami Beach. However, Forte Dei Marmi is really worth the experience. Appetizers were all good and the pistachio gelato is massive and delicious. However, the pastas here are what really makes it. The truffle pasta in a wheel of parmesan seems gimicky, but tastes incredible. Definitely worth checking out!

Food was excellent - bus staff very rushed and rude - waiter was excellent - valet attendant was an imbecile and doesn't know how to speak to people - heavyset woman w blind hair - should be working at a movie theater not a Resturant like this

Shocking prices for the food you get. The service is subpar and so is the food. I normally do not write negative reviews but this was a major ripoff. You can go to many Italian restaurants in Miami and pay 5 times less for food of this quality.

Food is amazing and very good top of the line quality. Large selection of drinks and wine list. Dessert as good as main courses, nothing there disappointed. High end restaurant in a very busy and "happening" area in South Beach. Marco was attentive, very nice and so friendly. Had the salt crusted fish- tender and so good! Then Pistachio Ice Cream, amazing and Tiramisu- very different and very good.

Classic and elegant + delicious food! Love the parm wheel & the creative fresh desserts

Forte de Marmi is an Italian restaurant that has truly captured the essence of romance, along with serving exceptional food and providing impeccable service. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported to a world of elegance and sophistication. We decided to try their table side cacio e pepe, and it was a showstopper. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the blend of cheese and pepper was expertly balanced. Watching the dish being prepared right in front of us added an extra touch of excitement to our dining experience. Not only was the food outstanding, but the cocktails were also exceptional. Each sip was a burst of flavor, crafted with care and attention to detail. The mixologists at Forte de Marmi truly know how to create a memorable drinking experience. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure our evening was flawless. From their warm greetings to their prompt and efficient service, we felt like valued guests throughout the entire evening. If you're looking for a romantic Italian dining experience, Forte de Marmi is the place to go. The combination of amazing food, breathtaking ambiance, and top-notch service creates an unforgettable evening. It's a gem that truly deserves recognition and is perfect for any special occasion or romantic rendezvous.
