The food, service, and atmosphere was incredible! I came to celebrate my birthday, and Forza Storico did not disappoint! I have no favorite dish, because they were all that good! The flavors of each dish and even the sides were impeccable. I wanted to keep eating even though I was completely full. Our waiter was knowledgeable, kind, and insightful; he even brought a stool for me to set my bag on and adjusted the lamp for my wary eyes. I will definitely return to try more food and wine. Thank you for a lovely evening!
