    Chocolate Panna Cotta
    Mei W.

    We were in the area for wine tasting. First time in. Everyone was nice and attentive. The food was wonderful. We ordered two pizzas and some entrees. The meat lovers and pepperoni. I had the chicken risotto and we all shared the chocolate panna cotta dessert. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back.

    Ending a full day winery experience and heard so much about this restaurant. Well it does not disappoint. With three people at the helm-chef, sous chef and one server they worked fast and provided great service. The meal just mirrored the same sentiment. The place is quaint and in what look like used to be a home. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A variety of wine selection and beverage choices as well. Don't leave without having a pasta, pizza, beverage and salad. They have specials. Lean into it. Total costs less than $100. And took a doggie bag home.

    Not raw, but super undercooked and doughy with no color like other other pizza!

    We were so excited to try this restaurant, but wish we had never been. We made a reservation for 5pm on a Thursday as I knew I'd be bringing my baby and toddler and wanted it to be the least disruptive to others. The Restaruant had only 2 other tables occupied. We were seated immediately which was nice, but it took over 30 minutes to even order (even after trying to make eye contact with the server multiple times). After a long wait, we asked the server how the food was coming along and he gave us a dirty look and said "well it's coming" very rude. We waited for 2 pizzas and 2 basic meat sauce pastas for over an HOUR (assuming these were not made until minutes prior as pizzas in the oven take less than 15 min - we have a pizza oven!). By this time our baby and toddler are overly hungry, tired, and sick of waiting so my baby was crying. We did everything to calm him - brought toys and a show out, took him on walks around the building, played game and read books, but the server and staff were giving us dirty looks, and whispering about us to each other. We were absolutely SHOCKED at the looks at attitude we kept receiving - to the point that the table behind us said they couldn't believe it either. The server meanwhile never checked in on us once. Didn't fill waters. Didn't even bring a water for my kids. It was clear they DO NOT WELCOME CHILDREN here. We eat out frequently with our children and have never ever experienced this treatment or ever felt so unwelcome. My husband ended up leaving before food was even served to drive the baby around. Regarding the food taste: Our food was really not appetizing and actually bad. The pasta sauce tasted like cheap canned sauce and we couldn't even eat it! We left the whole bowl and didn't eat it or bring it home. Yuck. The pizza was decent but one of ours came out completely underdone (photo attached of it in the box). We didn't ask for it to be cooked longer since we had already waited over an hour and felt so uncomfortable by the staff.

    Caesar salad, bitter with old lettuce.

    Disappointing, we decided to try it after reading some reviews claiming "best pizza", not the case. They were short staffed so it took a long time, especially the entrees. The pizza was burned and too salty, I like mine well done and my husband loves salty but way too much! We had appetizers that were ok, Caesar was bitter with old lettuce, so not good. For the price, we won't be back, $100+ for two, without drinks, overpriced and under delivered.

    Meat lovers pizza (with mushrooms) and Caesar salad (it was HUGE - could feed 3-4)
    Emily M.

    Wow! This pizza was AMAZING! Meat lover pizzas are usually not my first choice but that's what the hubs wanted. I'm glad I went with his choice (and added mushrooms). It was SO tasty! Not too much sauce. Just enough crunch on the crust. We wanted a good wood fire pizza and man did we get it! One pizza was enough for us both. We also got the Caesar salad, was good - not great thus the 4 stars. Service was salad. Super nice waiter. We read about slow service. They were busy, and they didn't have a lot of staff. They weren't slow per se, but were not fast, which was fine as we weren't n a rush. Regardless- worth the time. It was GOOD

    caprice salad, heavy on the tomatoes light on the mozzarella.
    Jennifer M.

    The food alone is a solid 4.5 stars. The service was 2 stars at best. Long Story; We got there and waited 20 minutes for someone to seat us, (they were not super busy, but it looked like maybe understaffed). No one asked us to wait or said they would be right over, or that they were short staffed. Once seated it took, another 15 minutes for someone to take our order. We ordered one pizza and a salad, no beverages (just water). The server didn't write down our order.... Came back 10 minutes later to confirm our order (thankfully, because he had the wrong pizza). Just over 45 minutes later... (so we've now been at the restaurant for over 90 minutes). The pizza and the salad came. The Caprese salad was pretty, but had double the amount of tomatoes vs cheese, but the flavor was good. The pizza that was brought to us was the wrong one (stick with me here), the same wrong one we had corrected the server on earlier. He switched it for the right one from the table next to us (thinking they ordered the one he brought us). Turns out they didn't order that one and we just got their pizza, which was the right one for them and for us (we ordered the same pizza). We got to keep it, and they had wait for a new one. Overall we enjoyed our food, but over two hours at a restaurant with little to acknowledgement of the situation, (the wait, the wrong food etc.) is pretty bad. The bill came and the pizza we didn't order (which had a higher price tag) was the pizza on the bill. At that point, we had been there for over two hours and just wanted to go home so we just paid the bill. I work in the service industry a simple "I'm sorry this is taking a really long time", or maybe a heads up before they sat us that they were short staffed etc., also "Oh shoot I made a mistake on your order", would've gone a long way... it makes me think that maybe this is how it is here, in which case we definitely won't go back. However based on other reviews maybe it was an just an anomaly because of the staffing issues, etc.

    What a great experience me and my fiancée had when we came to Forage. The first time we drove by the place, we missed the turn so drive slow when you're going here! We were able to meet the owner, Chris who is also the chef himself. Safe to say, we will be back. The meat lovers pizza was incredibly good as it is wood fired, giving that crisp crunch to each bite. The cheese is cheesy in the best way and the vibes were immaculate. I loved the homey Italian vibe to the place. The music was incredibly chill; it's nice to go to a restaurant with music that is not overwhelming. We got the caesar salad which was perfect to share between two, and the apple galette for desert. The apples were cooked perfectly while being crunchy, the crust was fluffy, crispy and delightful. It was drizzled with honey and it was incredibly balanced with sweetness with a homemade whip cream on top. Not to mention-- the server was incredibly friendly and could not have asked for better service. I can't wait to come back, especially in the Summer!

Gnocchi was killer and the pizza was pretty good. The service was absolutely meh. We watched a table seated after us get drinks and salads before we even gave our drink order, and they got their meals before we ordered. We were pretty excited to order and stoked for the food here, so the meh service was really a bummer. We also were seated in the back, and it was really hot in that room. If I had it to do over again, I'd request the restaurant area up front. Overall, we'd go back to give it another go. But there was room for improvement for sure.

I stumbled upon this place while waiting for a 5pm massage appointment at a place on the 2nd floor. I was immediately welcomed with a smile by the guy working behind the counter. As soon as I told him it was my first time here we struck up a great conversation. He showed me what types of foods they had and after I settled on a lunch box that included a panini, salad and other goodies, he mentioned that they switch out their salads every Wednesday to mix up the variety. I settled on a Lasagne slice, a Prosciutto Panini and an additional one to go with my lunch box. Their side wall was adorned with pickled and jarred items as well as pastas the like. On the far wall had their beverages and my lunch box came with my choice of drink. I settled on some Italian orange soda. Not sure what it tastes like but I will tomorrow for my lunch. They also have panini press machines. The nice guy offered to toast my panini. I only have a microwave at work so using that will just turn my panini into a solid rock. Microwaves and bread don't do well with each other. Overall a neat experience indeed. I think on my next visit I'll bring my wife with me so that she can try other things.
