    Definitely will return. We pass by this restaurant all the time. So decided to come here for my celebratory dinner: the lawsuit filed by Hales Blackbrick of Tampa against me over my review in December 2023 has just been dismissed without prejudice this morning. They sure will come back and try again, but that won’t deter me from celebrating my first milestone: defending my right to speak truth. Forbici has high ceiling, industrial decor, with great service and delicious foods. It has mixed clientele: dressed up women, and family/mothers with kids. I particularly like – deliciously red sauce – good stems – hot and frothy milk with hot coffee – tiramisu – the best in Florida so far The hot coffee claim: this may sound petty and bewildering but it’s NOT: the coffee at Hales Blackbrick was lukewarm – enough, resting my case here. The hot milk – it’s the best because I love my milk hot and NO One that I’ve been to does this – this alone worth returning. The wines – the super Tuscan is just super. The staff is helpful and genuine – thank you. We’ve – Suppli: tasty and soft, filling. – Meatball: yummy but not fluffy – lasagne: yummy – mussels: chubby and clean – coffee: hot – tiramisu: the best in Florida The meatball is rather dead – this is in light of me comparing it to Chinese lionhead which are large and soft. Silly me. Hope they won’t forget the container for the mussel shells next time. The young kid did say that he’ll bring one but I’d rather use their bread plate – pretty. The bathroom – neat and handsome. But the first two stalls are messy – one has toilet tissue on the floor and the second one has a plastic cup in the toilet bowl – hey patrons, pls pick up after your self, your cleaner isn’t there to do it for you. Being at one end of the chichi street, it makes parking easier

    Had dinner @ Forbici Feb, 11, reservation was for high chairs they promptly accommodated my request for a table & moved me to the best table in the house. Service was excellent & always with a smile. Food was delicious, among best Italian foods in Tampa area. Special thanks to the service team,,Emma, Evan & Jian Luca. Thx a bunch, keep the good work up & good luck

    We had a great lunch today…and our Server..Meadow was outstanding! She was really cute…and knew the menu extremely well. She pointed out the lunch special and made great suggestions. She was attentive and efficient. The items we ordered were delicious. Pizza was great and calamari crispy and fresh tasting.
