    Eggplant florentine
    Don K.

    It's hard to beat the ambiance of dining in an old home. The pressure is on the chef to provide dishes that draw on that feeling of a home cooked meal and wait staff who give that attention of being served by a family member or friend. Here, reservations are necessary as much for the limited seating as they are for the food quality. (While there is an outdoor dining area, it didn't look like it was well-maintained or the owner's priority. Outdoor seating wasn't available on our visit). Our server was pleasant and thankfully referred to my wife and I as "friends" , rather than the lazy and boorish "you guys" you hear in so many places. She promptly provided water and offered us an impressive wine selection. I ordered a glass of Crios Malbec ($10) which paired well with my entree, the eggplant florentine ($21). Service started with a complimentary warm and simple mini loaf of Italian bread. Soft and light , it absorbed the EVOO dipping sauce of flavorful spices and herbs. With a choice of salad or soup of the day (potato and chive soup), we both opted for salads. They were lightly dressed with a creamy balsamic and a hint of garlic. The eye-pleasing chilled salad was a spring mix with red onion, cucumbers and tomatoes. Not one of those after thought salads served at some restaurants. We also ordered a shareable plate of two sauced meatballs ($17) served with a side of velvety smooth ricotta piped onto an oversized leaf of basil. The garlic bread points were so-so but the meatballs were very tasty. A good choice. The eggplant on my dish wrapped around a generous serving of spinach and cheese and slathered with a delicious marinara. My wife enjoyed her chicken parmigiana ($22) and was surprised to find two thinly cut and breaded tender cutlets covered in the red sauce. Enough to carry home some leftovers. We passed on the three desserts offered. Our dining experience ended with two complimentary shot glasses of creamy limoncello. An excellent send off.....

They state that for the past 16 years they have used fresh ingredients in all their dishes and you'll notice that fact in every dish. The Ambiance: This lovely little restaurant reminds me of the bistro's I enjoyed in Venice. Get there early as it's always packed and there's not that many tables. They also offer several tables for outside dining. The Service: La Forchetta lost a star here as the service was slow and perfunctory at best. Our server couldn't seem to get her act together and seemed to be flustered by anything out of the norm. If I was to guess, having owned a few restaurants myself, I'd guess she was new and overworked having more tables than she could handle. The Food: A good sign of the quality of your meal is the quality of the salad and bread. Although this time we skipped the salad, the bread, or more precisely the garlic rolls featured the perfect balance of garlic butter and were good enough to be a meal unto themselves. After gorging on the rolls, we decided to share the calamari which turned out to be oh so crispy, and unlike so many other overly chewy offerings, was mouth watering tender. For our entrees, we chose the Penne pasta which was made al dente and featured a wonderfully robust bolognese sauce. Our second entree was the lobster filled raviolis which featured an amply filled fresh lobster covered in a creamy pink sauce. For desert we shared the house specialty tiramisu which was good but not necessarily memorable. The Bottom Line: As with all my reviews my "customer so what" would I come back... the answer is yes, because the food was so good, we'd try it again and hopefully the service would be up to the food.

The last four or five 'highly recommended" Italian restaurants in the Jensen Beach/Stuart area we tried were OK to even pretty good but not at all memorable or begging another visit so we always went back to our favorite. Felt a little guilty coming here but WOW-we were blown away. We ate here twice before writing this review because I wanted to make sure our first visit wasn't a fluke. On the first visit my wife ordered Shrimp Linguine Fradiavolo which was a generous portion of shrimp over linguine with a wonderfully spicy marinara sauce. (She let me try it). I ordered Gnocchi Sorrentina which I customized to my preferences. Substituted marinara for meat sauce and added some charred Italian sausage. Probably the best gnocchi I've ever had. Portions of both dishes were large enough to take back to enjoy for lunch the next day. On our second visit, my wife had Spaghetti Al Pomodoro and I tried Veal Marsala. Both were north of wonderful! During both visits we also enjoyed fresh garlic bread. Uncle Guiseppe's is busy and noisy. Service is so good you don't notice the "busy" once you're seated. This was our best restaurant find this trip.

    Husband and I had a hankering for some good Italian but we didn't feel like going out to eat…read more We picked up some food here to go, having never eaten here before. Let me start by saying, I have had hundreds of cauliflower pizzas, from many different restaurants. I can't seem to find anywhere that makes them right. I ordered the cauliflower Quatro fomaggi pizza... My husband picked the order up a few minutes past it's prime so we got it a bit cold. Despite the pizza literally being cold by the time it got to my house, it was NO JOKE the best cauliflower pizza I have had in my life. The flavors were spectacular, cheeses were savory and sweet, sauce was ridiculously flavorful and enjoyable. My husband got some lasagna and he enjoyed it thoroughly. We also got the gluten free chocolate mousse cake and it was decadent and sweet. We split it and it was so full of flavor, one slice was enough for us to share. My husband recounted that he's been struggling to eat meals recently and this meal literally brought back his enjoyment for food. We enjoyed the food a lot. I will most definitely be coming in for a sit down experience for the best cauliflower pizza I've ever had in my life. If it's that good cold, I can't imagine how good it is hot. It was so nice to enjoy some high quality food and to be able to stay gluten free

This free-standing establishment has an elegant feel without the pretentiousness. With black and white modern decor and attentive staff, Pastaio's gave us a 5-star experience all around. Our server, Axel, was amazing - great suggestions, anticipated our needs but didn't hover. Our meal began with complimentary garlic bread that was warm, tasty and just plain good. My husband and I also ordered a salad - the burrata caprese - to split before our entrees came out. We gobbled up the dish quickly - it was fresh, colorful and light. For my entree, I ordered the spaghetti with marinara and my husband ordered the lasagna. We both truly loved our dishes - to the point that I joked that we would have to spend hundreds of dollars on Uber Eats to get this food to our house (3 hours away) whenever we craved Italian! It was that good and now I really want their spaghetti....(leaves to access Uber Eats)

The Shrimp Scampi came out first, so we encouraged our friend to eat. About 10 minutes later, two pies came out and we were waiting on the third, which never arrived. Several requests were made and the response was that it was working. Well, after about 20-25 additional minutes the manager came over and apopogized. Apparently, the order was never placed. He ended up having it made anyway, and gave it to our frustrated diner to take free of charge. Very disappointing for all involved.

We sat at the bar awaiting dinner seating. The bartender literally did not say hello and stood mute in front of us...then said, " Do you want a drink?"

She met that with pursed lips and with disdain said, 'Well it all comes from the same system ." After a beat, "Are you going to oder something else?" That something else was slid over to him with rather a thud. No more words. So, we left without any more ordering or food. Then! Happy days! We found the cutest, most charming little Italian restaurant. The decor and the lovely hostess welcomed us with smiles as did a delightful, professional,and most personable,waiter who suggested a table I would feel warmest at ( no one else is cold-- always me!).

The service was great when it came, but there were long gaps between and the lady in the kitchen noticed and would spur the waitstaff into action.

It was like eating at one of the little neighborhood restaurants in NY. My negatives are the spotty service, the servers were 25 feet away and didn't seem to care to give a glance. My iced tea was made with tap water... Unfiltered and tasted horrible. Finally, the restaurant is cash only. Yes, they do offer alternative ways to pay such as Cashapp, Apple Pay, Zelle, etc, which l felt was a bit unusual. In closing, the food was great! Tasty and well made. Tap water to paying customers!? Service is service, some times it's great and sometimes it's not. The cash only thing did take me by surprise.
