This is a gem of a restaurant with personable service, delicious food and a nice atmosphere. Located in a strip mall the interior is quirky and fun - a nice bar and industrial shelves with good for purchase including wine, canned delicacies, pottery and other lovely things. Service was attentive and friendly and everything was delicious. Don't miss the cheese and egg baked bread - outstanding! This is a wonderful diversion from the strip - a wonderful, local gem - we will be back!

I saw the place on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives so I made a reservation as we were on our way to Las Vegas for a short vacation. This is a bistro so don't expect a large table. We could not wait to try some Bulgarian food and we were not disappointed. We ordered a bottle of wine from Bulgaria. I was expecting it to cost about $100.00 but was pleasantly surprised at how little we were charged for an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. The food was just outstanding. The lamb shoulder was like eating butter. The lamb chops were medium well, but still very tender and tasty. Whoever dreamed up putting feta cheese and fresh dill on french fries is a genius. The Chef should be teaching people how to fry french fries; they were that good. We did not try the goulash, but that will be on the list on our next visit. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. It may be a little off the strip, but it is very easy to find.

I love this place - I go often and bring friends each time! Love the staff, the food everything about this place. The shopping center is a little beat up, but once you're inside the ambiance will take you away immediately!

We frequent Forte at least once a month! The food is amazing and takes us back to our roots as we are European! Makes me feel like I was back home in my Nani's kitchen! Ilko and the rest of the staff are very attentive and personable. Never a bad experience!!
