We learned at an early age that sharing meals was our family's language of love. We gathered frequently around the kitchen or dining room table and everyone was welcome. We discussed the days happenings, recalled joyous occasions, engaged in spirited debates and comforted each other in times of sorrow.It is in this spirit that we created Forbici, a restaurant where you are at home sharing food, enjoying good company and making memories with family and friends, old and new.

    It's easy enough to say that the menu choices were great as well as the quality of the food and the preparation. What stood out to me was Molly's incredible knowledge of the menu and how each item was prepared. And even that was overcome by her service level and friendliness. Supporting her were two or three others who brought food, took away dishes, everyone was "on the ball." Great experience in every way.

    The food is always amazing. It can get pretty loud especially if you’re in the same room as multiple large groups (but that’s on no way the restaurant’s fault - some people are just extra loud). The value for the food is beyond perfect and we will always come back.
