We were in the area and looking to try something new when found this Italian spot. The location is decent size and has a bar side with seating and then another room that appeared to be dining for all ages. Within walking in we were seated immediately in the bar area and our waiter was over within seconds along with the manager who were both hospitable during our stay. We started off with the warm bread with Parmesan crusts and oil/vinegar. House salads and a Cesar salad with anchovies were next and satisfactory! Next came the garlic/butter muscles that were cooked perfectly with flavor and that sauce was amazing soaking up with mussels and bread! We ordered the lasagna, chicken piccata and gnocchi brown butter with sausage. The dishes were amazing and everyone enjoyed the flavors and freshness. Dessert was cannolis and cheesecake. All in all we def will be back to try more dishes and I will definitely be trying other cheesecake flavors. Everything was made well and had great flavor. This is definitely a spot to check out.

I had a pretty basic meal- spaghetti with meat sauce. There was very little meat in the sauce, and the sauce itself had a texture that would suggest that it was made with tomato paste. It was ok, but I wouldn't pay $20 for it again. The staff should probably keep their voices down in the kitchen area, because they can easily be heard in the dining room. Some topics aren't meant for everyone to hear, especially while eating dinner.

The dining room is comfortable with a mix of decor. The staff is super friendly and hustles, for sure. We had a couple different servers take care of us and each was attentive. Elaina, our main server, kept plates and beverages coming. The manager walked through the dining room a couple times. The menu is a mix of pasta, pizza and a few subs. They serve alcohol and have a good selection of wine and craft beer. Endless soup, salad and breadsticks come with entrees and kid's meals. The kid's receive an activity sheet and crayons and $6 meals come with beverages. Prices are really reasonable and portions are generous. No one had room for dessert. The Caesar salad is really good, with a refreshing dressing and lots of sliced Parmesan cheese. Even the kids ate the salad. They also enjoyed the breadsticks. My daughter had the house salad, which she said was good and they were happy to make it without onions. I had the Lasagna entree, which is a super large portion of hot bubbly cheese topped pasta. The sausage and meatball filling were good and the sauce was slightly sweet. I loved the lasagna. My daughter had the Hot Roast Beef sub that came with au jus and their house made chips. The chips are incredible. She liked her sandwich and said the bread was chewy and delicious. My SIL had the Jambalaya Pasta which was a beautiful dish of pasta topped with sausage, shrimp, chicken, bacon and tomatoes. He loved his meal. The kid's really enjoyed the Cheese-filled ravioli. The place is good for kid's. They can make a little noise and no one gets upset. Their drinks came with lids. (On Wednesdays, kids eat free). They have daily specials on M-Th. Bottles of wine are half puce on Tuesdays. They have a small bit of outdoor seating (for good weather) and a private parking lot. I'll be back, I like the people, the food and the casual, genuine vibe.

Pasto Italiano is a hidden neighborhood gem in Westfield Indiana where we have had the pleasure of…read moreeating some wonderful Italian food over the past several years. The Marsala dishes (veal and chicken) are done perfectly, as are the Piccata versions. The Spaghetti Bolognese is one of my wife's favorites, which is saying something as we have traveled to Italy several times and this is her preferred Italian dish. Posto Italiano has a wonderful story which I doubt many diners know anything about. The restaurant was founded by Patsy and Kent who were Non-Italian New York transplants. They hired a young man by the name of Mike to manage the restaurant with the understanding that Mike would buy the restaurant when Patsy and Kent wanted to sell. Mike, along with his dad Rich, bought the restaurant a few years ago and brought their Italian family recipes with them. Posto Italiano translates as the "Food of Italy". Rich put a family recipe Pasta Fagioli zuppa (soup) on the menu that is the best I've ever had (it'd more like a thick stew), and my wife loves Mike's mom Shelly's Manicotti. They replaced Patsy's meatballs with Shelly's recipe which are even better. (The one and only negative that I have with the restaurant is that sometimes the meatballs come out hard.) The wait staff are just what you want in an Italian restaurant, warm and friendly and very good at what they do. Now the reason for this review! The other night the special was Grouper Alla Piccata. Absolutely Fantastic. A perfectly cooked nice size piece of Grouper and a Piccata Sauce perfectly balanced to the Grouper, emphasizing the sweetness of the fish. Hopefully this finds a permanent place on the menu. If you've never been to Posto Italiano, give it a try - wonderful food at a very reasonable price. You won't be disappointed.

A true Italian gem in Fortville!…read more I went to Cortona's Italian Cuisine & Wine Bar for my birthday, and what an amazing experience! From the outside, you would never expect to find a place like this along Fortville's main street. But once you walk in, you feel like you've been transported somewhere completely different. Cortona's is an original, family-owned Italian restaurant, and you can really feel the passion and authenticity behind it. One of the coolest things I've ever seen at a restaurant is their chef preparing pasta right in front of you and finishing it inside a giant wheel of cheese. It's such a unique experience and something you don't see every day! The wine was fantastic. We had a bottle of Syrah Castagnino, which was excellent. I had the Pasta al Fumo with Italian sausage, based on Laura's recommendation, and it was absolutely delicious. Laura was wonderful from beginning to end. She knows the menu, makes great recommendations, and knows exactly how to pair the right wine with your meal. The fresh bread was also amazing, and we finished the meal with dessert that was just as impressive as everything else. The portions were very good, and the cozy ambiance made the whole evening feel special. After dinner, we went to the back section of the restaurant, where they've expanded the building and now have space for private events. It's a beautiful addition and gives the restaurant even more character. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, great food, amazing wine, and a cozy atmosphere, give yourself a good treat and visit Cortona's. Ask for Laura--she'll take great care of you, help you choose some fantastic dishes, and recommend the perfect wine to pair with your meal. Definitely one of those places where you walk in expecting one thing and leave feeling like you've discovered a little piece of Italy in Fortville.

Located in the heart of Fortville on Main St., there is a tiny parking lot in the rear but diagonal…read moreparking for a few blocks either way. I had to walk a bit but it was fine. It was hopping on a Friday night. I had been wanting to come here for a long time.. Everyone I know says this place is really good. This is a 3.5 star review. The bruschetta was 4 pieces and soggy. It was also 15 dollars. They don't serve table bread for free so I ordered some for $4 and it was about 5 1/2 slices of the same bread they used for the bruschetta. It was served with a bowl of oil with balsamic vinegar. I also asked for my pasta to be saucy and the waitress looked at me and she said, do you mean you want extra sauce? So for $2 extra I feel I got a normal amount of sauce so I'm not sure what a regular amount looks like. Unfortunately the pasta was pre-denté. Everyone else's dishes were steaming hot and the pasta was visibly able to be twirled around a fork. Mine was warm and I had to cut it with a spoon and fork just to get it separated for many bites, which were very chewy, almost hard. The ragù was fine. The atmosphere was nice for dinner. I read some other reviews and they are definitely mixed. One of my friends who had been before warned me after I was excited to initially try the cheese wheel pasta, to be careful. She said hers was wet and vodka flavored, so I didn't get it. Similar reviews said the same. I will say the calamari was some of the best I've had lately. Not chewy at all and a lovely light batter, served with tomato sauce. I did find it odd that the sauce was cold. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their meals so this gets the 3.5 stars.
