    Server was great. Hostesses (there were 4 of them) were terrible and seemed clueless and not interested in patrons at all.

    Live music was too loud and impossible to have a conversation.

    We come here often and love the food, ambience and usually the service. We understand all businesses have an off night but every course from drinks to apps to entrees was delayed. My entree never arrived and our table pointed that out to the server. She didn’t check in on us so we could share that feedback much earlier in the meal. We love Forbici and hope it’s a one time thing!
