    Forza Storico is really good, but at this price point it's not quite 5 stars for me. The food was solid overall. I ordered the Bertu and while it was good, the portion was small and not $28 good. My friend got the carbonara, which leaned very rich. I enjoyed it, but I can see how it could be a bit much if that's not your thing. Service was excellent and the vibe is great. This is a fun spot for a birthday dinner or a celebratory night out, just know it gets SUPER packed. Definitely worth trying, just manage expectations on portions versus price.

    Food generally tasty albeit expensive for what it was. The fried artichokes were liked by all. The shrimp with linguine and pesto was flavorful but slightly more fishy tasting than usual. Will finish this later. Service unimpressive.

    Everything was DELICIOUS! We made a reservation on a Saturday night for GNO. The service was quick and efficient. Our waitress was so attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Nice quiet ambiance and it was easy for us to talk. But most of all, the food was sooo good. Everything we ordered was amazing. Pasta, branzino, & the apps were all great so I would definitely come back and try something else on the menu. 10/10!!

    This was my second time at Forza Storico and each time the food was amazing. For my cocktail I started with the pesca e tonic and it was very good, it has a peachy taste and was refreshing. For our appetizer, we did an order of the supplí and focaccia and both were amazing. I highly recommend both. For my main entree I ordered the tagliatelle alla bolognese and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ended the night with an espresso martini with Forza's version of baileys cream and it was the perfect choice. If you're looking for an elevated experience with Italian cuisine, this restaurant is for you. The lighting is low which sets the scene for a perfect intimate dinner or a date night. Our service was also superb, we were checked on numerous times and our food and drinks were brought out with minimal wait time.

    We went to Forza Storico for the first time on Mother's Day and it was so nice! They typically are not open on Sunday's but they open for Mother's Day. We sat outside and it was perfect weather. Service was great and food was all delicious! They even had gluten free pasta for my husband who has celiac disease. They definitely made it a special Mother's Day.

    We had a reservation for my cousins bday, and when we arrived the table was already set and waiting for us. The restaurant is very dimly lit. It's was super busy, but our server stayed on top of things. We started with the Fritto Misto di Mare (ask for sauce on the side). For entrees we ordered the tagliatelle alla bolognese, amatriciana, and the branzino with a side of spinach and broccolini. The spinach was on the spicy side. Every thing was delicious!

    Bertù $28

    Forza Storico - We had a lackluster experience. The interior was dark making it hard to see the menu. Our server greeted us but I wouldn't exactly call her friendly. There were not many vegetarian options which was disappointing. We started with bread. Focaccia Bread Service $6 - very rosemary forward. We also ordered the Cavolfiore, cauliflower with a brown butter sauce for $9. It was ok. Next, we tried the Caprese Loredana, basically a caprese salad. $17 The Bertù for $28. The server warned us it was a very small portion. She wasn't kidding. It was like a ravioli with Italian sausage and brown butter. It was tasty but not worth $28. And we ordered the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. We asked if we could add any vegetables to the rigatoni, the server said no. At this point, we had had enough of Forza Storico. We decided to get dessert elsewhere. In walking distance, there is a Jenni's ice cream. Being close to Jenni's is the best part of this restaurant. Overall, customer service had an attitude and the food was expensive.

    Came here for a Friday night date night and it did not disappoint!! Food and service is always AMAZING. The pasta is always so fresh and tasty. I am still dreaming of the rigatoni. Cannot recommend enough. There is a 2 hour parking code at the host stand.

    Food was ok, service needs improvement with the Italian experience, you know, they serve you pepper and cheese as much as required. Pasta good, al dente and close to al dente. Guanchala amazing. The tomato Pasta is great. Place is quiet and nice, you can talk without any issue. Steak was good

    Vodka pasta

    Food came out fast and was very delicious! The vodka rigatoni was so good very rarely do I finish my plate and I surely did with this one! Also great for a date night

    Impeccable service. We sat outside, such a nice atmosphere out there. Drinks were on point. Food was outstanding! Such fresh tomatoes in December! Focaccia was some of the best I have ever had. I had the rigatoni with ox tail ragout. The meat fell off the bone. Great meal!

    Carbonara
    Ana Rocío A.

    Honestly, the best part of the meal was the focaccia bread. We ordered two plates of those. Some of the pieces were too burnt for my taste, but still enjoyable. I had the carbonara and it was good. Not to die for, but good. I don't eat a lot, so the portion was good for me, but some people might find it small. My boyfriend had the rigatoni and said it was good. Wasn't impressed, but good. For dessert we had the Nutella focaccia. It was good, although I would have preferred the bread to be softer rather than too burnt. Service was great! Our server was really nice and attentive. The food and the drinks also came with a reasonable wait time. The only thing is there's not a lot of lighting in the restaurant.

    Aperol and Negroni

    Food amazing per usual. The only item I wouldn't get again was the fried artichoke it was too greasy. Risotto balls and calamari are the best apps and good for sharing. Main meals we got the gnocchi which could feed 2 - the portion was large and steaming hot fresh! The other one was the capetelli stuffed with like pesto and topped with spinach more of a personal size. Both fantastic.

    Is this a perfect location for date night, with self?

    Yes

    Do they play loud music? I love restaurants with patios but we are a group of 6-8 and want to have good conversation.

    Are there any kids' menu items?

    Not to my knowledge

    Can i ask for a different pasta type in a dish?

    I was so excited to try this place. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was really great!…read moreIt's located right in ATL so expect parking to be sketchy (would it be ATL if it wasn't). The reason for 3 stars is that the food was mid (I would love to give 3.5 stars if I could). Some dishes stood out - the peanut noodles, the lobster with the same noodles, salmon crudo, and wings were pretty good too. Everything else was either not great or very mid - the platter, calamari, salmon was not crispy skin and was overcooked, fries, sardine bruschetta. We spent $400 with tip and I only liked or remembered about 20% of what we ordered. Drinks are beautiful and creative. It would be great for a drink and sexy vibes, but I would go somewhere else to eat. I forgot to take pictures (OOPS)

We found a nice table and ordered a glass of wine. We had every intent of staying and eating, but this atmosphere is not what we had in mind. I felt bad for the musician because nobody was paying attention. Our server disappeared so even if we wanted to stay for more drinks it was a hassle. The bartender finally tracked down our bill and we decided to go elsewhere.

Rather than just finding out, he went ahead and made it and brought it out with the group's drinks. When I saw how good it looked, I decided to order one too. The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
