What Patrons are Saying

If you haven't dined at the Fortezza, you are missing a great joy. The service and dinner selections prepared by Chef, were some of the best, we've had in a long time. Our waitress went above and beyond with service. She provided a very good description of the dinner selections, and what type of beverage would go best with that food. We really couldn't ask for a more personal interaction. Chef is really a step above. I really can't say enough good things about these individuals; you should go yourself and experience it. It's well worth it. Thank you so much!
Today was our first experience at Fortezza! It was amazing. The Mimosas and food were all fantastic and our waitress provided the best service we’ve had in a very long time! She was attentive and very kind. Hats off to the pastry chef as well!
We attended the brunch at the Fortezza dining room-the food was great, the service and atmosphere was great as well.
Went to Fortezza with my wife and was warmly greeted at the host stand who offered us multiple selections for seating, although we ultimately decided on the bar top. Our server and bartender was very attentive with any questions or suggestions about the food and drink menu since it was our first time. The limoncello martini was amazing and was very light and refreshing. My wife and I ordered the wagyu meatballs, fried mozzarella, and alla vodka pasta and love each and every one. Everything was hot, seasoned nicely, and overall a delicious meal. We ended the night with their tiramisu which was absolutely perfect. Not too sweet but just enough to feel like a dessert. My wife and I were so impressed and will definitely be coming back and bring all of our friends.
