    Highly recommend the linguine alla vongole and the mushroom cavatelli. Service was outstanding. Will definitely return next time we are in Tampa.

    Was a beautiful evening for al fresco dining so we took the available reservation at Forbici. I ordered the grouper piccata and didn’t know what to expect since this isn’t a seafood restaurant. It was perfect, and the accompanying puréed cauliflower and wilted spinach suited my restrictive diet. Hubby went Italian and minestrone soup and eggplant lasagna were also terrific. I hate paying for bread but the small bread basket was full and the pesto a treat. Luis took good care of us.
