What a wonderful dinner! My husband & I wanted to try their menu as we’re searching for a venue to host an anniversary celebration, and Formento’s has been so kind to us. We felt so welcomed and invited by their kind staff. Mina, our wonderful waitress for the evening, was so thoughtful. She made sure everything we ordered came out in perfect timing so each pasta would be hot and fresh. And the food itself? Outstanding. Fresh pasta, gorgeous sauces, indulgent starters & sides. We were so happy from start to finish. Thank you, Formento’s!

Perfecto! The service was amazing, thoughtful, and well-paced. All of the dishes were delicious and tasted so fresh. The gluten free options are out of this world (I mean GF bread, pasta, and tiramisu - do I need to say more?)!! Really worth a visit. We will be back!
