The food is delicious. The service is great. The ambiance is perfect. I will definitely be returning to fortina

This was my first time at Fortina, and unfortunately it will also be my last. The only highlight of the night was our server, John who was genuinely amazing -- attentive, friendly, and did his best to make the experience enjoyable. That said, the food and drinks were a major disappointment. The drinks were underwhelming, the arancini and pasta arrived cold, and parts of our order were not prepared correctly. For a place with this reputation, the execution just wasn't there. I appreciate John's great service, but overall the quality of the food did not meet expectations, and I wouldn't return. read more

Came here for brunch for the first time and I was excited because I love pasta. When I first arrived, the entrance was confusing. The side door is to be used when sitting outside and the other door was for inside. I went inside and the waitress walked us to the side door to get outside. The brunch menu wasn't too exciting and honestly had a hard time picking out something to eat. I finally had to ask the waitress what was good and she helped me pick out the wings. The wings were okay, I did not enjoy the taste that much and did not finish. The fries were good. We also got a burger and requested baked sweet potatoes which was not on the menu. Might come back for dinner instead of brunch just to see if there's a bigger selection of food. read more

This place was so good I went for a lunch meeting and then went BACK for dinner while traveling through. Staff was friendly and casual, it felt easy to be here. I could tell the staff also loves the food by their recommendations. For lunch I had the burrata toast, which was a large portion and delicious w fig, hazelnut and browned butter drizzle. I saw my lunchmate's dishes and they all looked amazing, but I had to choose between the cavatelli and the paccheri. I went with the cavatelli, which was so good I have to withstand eating the whole portion. It had a light sauce, the slight bite of the broccoli rabe and sausage. So good on a cold evening. Definitely going to bookmark this for my next trip in. read more

We came here for brunch and everything was amazing including the pizzas, pancakes and ricotta toast. They are also great at accommodating kids and splitting up portions for the kids. I would definitely come back. read more

I love it here! I'm sad they closed my favorite location, but I ended up at this location, which was nice too! I had the sausage pizza and the bread pudding, which are my two favorites here! I also love their pasta, s'mores pudding, and their drinks. The Armonk location has indoor and outdoor seating with heat lamps. They also have a large bar area and great drink specials. I'd recommend checking this place out if you love fresh pizza. They also have two other locations which are still open. read more

After a long drive we wanted a bar to grab a beer .. asked around and were told about this place . Beautiful decor and lots is space inside and outside . The food was served hot and that is always a plus . Arancini : was the very best , the sauce was simply amazing . Wood fired chicken wings : they were ok but not seasoned enough , was kind of tasteless Chicken cutlet : that was definitely OVER FRIED.. it was very dry and though , don't suggest that one . The place is beautiful but the service is poor , we went around 2:30pm and as you see in the picture there weren't a lot of people there . We sat at the bar and we basically had to chase people to serve us , there was a lot of people there but they are lost in La la land instead of paying attention to service . I hope they work on that !! read more

All of the above!!! Always come back for pizza And cozy atmosphere, staff is friendly

I have been going to Fortina since they first opened in 2013. Fortina and Decicco's, both located in Armonk Square, were a shot in the arm to downtown Armonk at the time and they both have become institutions in town. Fortina strikes a perfect balance of modern takes on italian food while offering an authentic experience with excellent homemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and other "wood-fired" offerings coming out of their ovens. Their menu has few blind spots as everything I have had has always been delicious. I always look forward to new seasonal additions and tweaks over the years. On our most recent trip, we tried their wood-fired wings for the first time. They came out piping hot and juicy. The calabrian chili and maple sauce was delicious paired with the green goddess dressing. For an entree, I had the gnocchi (which I had previously via takeout, and I knew I had to try fresh in the restaurant next time I went). The pan seared gnocchi has a thick, almost creamy pistachio pesto drizzled with brown butter and cheese - it was fantastic. Inside Fortina has a great vibe with a rustic but modern feel of the wood covered walls adorned with eccentric art including a portrait of Bill Murray from the life aquatic which has been there since opening. Service is friendly and relaxed. Fortina is always a great choice for some of the best pizza and pasta in the County as well as an excellent weekend brunch. read more

We stumbled across this charming restaurant wholly by accident when we detoured into Armonk, to break up a drive back to the city. The restaurant's pretty, festively lit outdoor area and gas-lit torchier at the front door caught our attention from the street, and the lovely smell of a wood-burning brick oven greeted us when we walked into the door. Boy did we feel like we'd hit the jackpot. You can't go wrong with anything made in that oven. A starter of wood-fired cauliflower (goddess dressing, chili crisp; $12) was perfectly browned, sprinkled with crunchy bits of Calabrian chili. The spice was fairly intense even for the adults and we didn't think our 7-year old could handle it. But she's going through a Superwoman phase and casually tossed a few pieces back, declining the chaser of water we offered afterwards. I wasn't super fond of the green goddess dressing as accompaniment, but it was easily avoidable. Wood-oven fired branzino (seasonal panzanella, meyer lemon, EVOO, croutons; $37) came with a generously portioned, fresh filet, the skin nicely blistered and browned in the oven. I loved the bed of thinly shaved fennel bulb underneath, the slightly bitter slices of what I think was cured meyer lemon. Wood-oven fired pizzas appear to be a specialty and crowd favorite for good reason. The two pizzas we ordered came with perfectly baked, gorgeously blistered crusts -- neither burnt nor underdone -- a tough balance to strike since the chef does not have more than a few seconds of wiggle room in either direction. It was just the right thickness for a NY style pizza, glutinous, chewy and substantial, exactly the sort of crust we go for. The Original Famous Ray's with pepperoni ($19) featured suuuuper stretchy cheese, with a generous application of little cups of crisped pepperoni. San Gennaro pizza ($19) came with a large (but not overwhelming) amount of sausage, roasted peppers and onion, sesame, and high quality fresh mozzarella. Huge, empty cans of tomato sauce serve as pizza stands, which we found to be a charming touch. It's a rustic, cozy space with high ceilings, lots of wood planks -- very Vermont-like in feel. Service (from Treva) was attentive and courteous. As soon as we took our first bites, the Pardner bookmarked the place for a return visit. read more

Always a great meal and good service!! Can never go wrong with the mozzarella sticks, calamari and the pizzas!

Haven't been here in about 2 years and this place continues to make delicious pizzas! We ordered their Tenderoni Pizza and Wood-Fire Cauliflower as an appetizer. Both were soooo good!! Also, our server was super professional and sweet. She gave us recommendations and made sure to check in with us during our dinner. read more

Our meal here was great. The food was much better than the last time I came (to a different location). The staff were very attentive and constantly checking in. It bordered on too much but not in an intrusive way. We were there around 12 so there were a few loud brunch parties but we were all spaced out that it wasn't too problematic. Overall a great experience. read more

It is so sad that I have to give what used to be my favorite restaurant only 3 stars. Before the newer owners took over it was 5 stars all the way. It still looks the same, warm and comfortable. The food is just about the same, they must use the same recipes as before. The meatballs are still stellar. Pasta is always delicious, some old and some new favorites. Pizza is outstanding. I miss seeing the same wait staff when I go in. The friendly knowledgeable staff are gone. Too many questions are answered with "I don't know ". Used to be a signal for wait staff help, now it's wait to get noticed. Used to be laughter amongst the patrons and wait staff, now they seem nervous and detached. Three stars for a restaurant that I used to enjoy. As they say in "The Godfather, you broke my heart". read more

Wood grilled veggie platter is 5 stars Sicilian pizza is 1 star (they either burnt the bottom and peeled it off or microwaved the dough.... And then delivered it in a plastic container which steams it like crazy too - very disappointed in this. I know it's gluten free but I've never seen such a bad bottom to a pizza Other dishes and pizzas have been good consistently but I've confirmed with my wife that this was the worst Sicilian pizza of our lives. Something must have been off... I hope as it was my first time trying it read more

Food was good but not worth the price! We had 8 people celebrating our daughters' birthday. Did not get a piece of bread on the table without a charge. A small (make that tiny) piece of key lime pie was $13. Similarly crazy prices on other items. One in our party wanted some added cheese to a pizza. That was $4 more! Will not be going back to this overpriced place. read more

We came here for a linner (lunch+dinner) celebration after my sister's graduation. We were able to easily get seated as a party of 7. The food was good, tasty pizza and other entrees as well. Good coffee and dessert. Our server was pleasant. My mom thought it was kind of pricey for a pizza restaurant, but overall we had a good time. read more

Stopped in for an early lunch with my sister yesterday around noon and really loved this place. Awesome atmosphere inside. Beautiful decor, sweet bar. Just a place you'd want to spend time and money. We split an arincini appetizer which was phenomenal. Squash and salami with an onion fondue. Highly recommend. For lunch I had the pappardelle bolognese with burrata and foi gras. WOW. Absolutely phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about the food. The waiter was kind and attentive and overall it was an A+ experience. I can't wait to go back.

Give this place a very high recommendation. Surprised by finding good pizza out in this area, but the pasta was even better. The pastasciutto was good. The actual pasta itself, not the dish, really stands out. Went with a gluten free friend and she said the gluten free slice was good too. read more

I have loved this spot since it opened! Amazing food, great drinks and even better service. A most go

The absolute worst. The chicken parm was inedible, burned beyond recognition like charred rubber with a tomato sauce that was awful and which totally smothered the burned chicken in an attempt to disguise how inedible it was. The ziti was like rubber with almost no sauce. how is it possible to destroy pasta? if I could give this place no star I would. read more

We were in search of great italian on our long weekend getaway...and hit the jackpot on day one! My husband and I split a brick oven pizza, roasted carrots with a walnut crema and a complimentary crostini with housemade ricotta and honey. The carrots were our favorite but everything was good. Thank you Dylan and staff for awesome customer service as well! The atmosphere was rustic and chic. Be prepared to pay a little more than your average pizza joint but it will be well worth it. For two of us, the bill came to $35 which I think is fair given the quality they provide. read more

I've been coming to Fortina for a few years now and it has its strengths and weaknesses. The aesthetic and vibe is definitely quirky and on point - it's also consistent between all of the locations and I think it adds to the experience. The food is honestly always really good here. The pizzas are all wonderful and some of my favorite pastas are the pastasciutto, lemon sesame bucatini, and wood-fired paccheri. They have a unique take on chicken parm that is also very good to share. Their desserts like the bread pudding and chocolate budino are consistently delicious and I love the overall Italian-American comfort food theme. Their wine list and drink offerings could definitely be updated and improved (especially the wine) as can the service. The service is consistently scattered and disorganized. For example, we have had 3 different servers at a time, poor spacing of courses, and errors in our order due to miscommunication between the various servers. I feel like this reflects poor training and possibly management, but Fortina could be 5 stars if they worked on these aspects of their business more. It's certainly worth a try for the food, which has never disappointed! read more

The pasta dishes we had were excellent. Smaller portions but perfect for me. The bolognese was amazing. Everyone with us loved their dishes as well. My husband was impressed with the chicken parmesan - that's his test of a good restaurant. My daughter and her fiancé - the two pickiest of eaters- lived their pasta dish. Good food, good service but just a bit too noisy to have a smooth flowing conversation. Not the end of the world! read more

Hot damn, if you've never been here you have to go and it's worth the trip! At least a 2 hour drive for us.Cocktails are ok, but the food is just delicious, and it's perfect for sharing. Four of us took town the meatballs, blistered shishitos, street corn, multiple pasta dishes (because we couldn't decide) the only thing we didn't have room for was the pizza which looked awesome! Cool outdoor patio by the sidewalk, looks like a great place for a date or friends hang out too. read more

Easy to get a reservation. When we got to restaurant the outside was decorated for Christmas. Super nostalgic of decorations when i was a kid. Hostess seated us quickly. Server came out right after we settled in. Cold Water was already in a covered bottle at table. Server was very upbeat and friendly. Dinner came out quickly. We had mozzarella sticks, baked ziti and chicken parm. All nice twists on the classics. Absolutely fresh and delicious. Paid at end with server at table no back and forth with bill. The restaurant seems very organized and professional with a fun, cool vibe. Looking forward to going back. read more
