    The food, service, and atmosphere was incredible! I came to celebrate my birthday, and Forza Storico did not disappoint! I have no favorite dish, because they were all that good! The flavors of each dish and even the sides were impeccable. I wanted to keep eating even though I was completely full. Our waiter was knowledgeable, kind, and insightful; he even brought a stool for me to set my bag on and adjusted the lamp for my wary eyes. I will definitely return to try more food and wine. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    The food was great. My friends and I shared a triple dip appetizer. It came with salsa, queso, and guacamole. I don't eat guacamole but my friends said it was good. The salsa and queso were good. Chips were fresh. I got a burrito with chicken as my protein. It comes with rice, beans, peppers, onions, and cheese. Delicious. Definitely will be coming back.
