What a Great Place to Eat

by John Pohlman at Citysearch

My wife and I have been going to Fornos on 43rd since Armando and Vickey (his wife) opened the place. The service and food are always excellent and they treat you like family. Miguel and Mike are two of the best waiters in town. We have invited several of our friends there for dinner (we go almost every Friday night) and they have always raved about the food, the atmosphere, and the welcoming attitude of the employees.

This is the best place in town for value and quality.

• Pros: The best steaks, fish, and pasta in town
• Cons: None

Great food

Great food, nice folks. I eat there a couple of times a month. The specials, from the sea bass to the fillets on sizzling platters are great. Definitely worth the price. The traditional Italian dishes like spaghetti and lasagna are excellent. The complementary hot rolls are worth the trip alone! My favorite dessert is the tres leches, the best. The party rooms are really nice.

Very expensive

by R Humphrey at Citysearch

I spent $37.00 on lunch. I had the Sea Bass, the waiter failed to tell me the price, it was not on the menu, ior on the board as you walk in the restaurant. Personally I feel like it is the waiters responsibility to inform you of the price when you ask about the special. I normally do not spend so much on my lunch! As far as the quality of the food...Well I ordered a house dinner salad(3.00). it looked like a handful of iceberg lettuce with a slice of tomato with approx 1/4 c of italian dressing poured on top. The Sea Bass was not bad, however it and the rice were swimming in a creamy sauce. I was very dissapointed in the entire experience. I will stick with Maggiano's and Piatto, excellent food , staff and I do not mind paying for that!

• Pros: Atmosphere is nice for the locaton
• Cons: waitstaff , salad
