Ristorante Foresta

I will talk first about the positive things of the restaurant. And I think the date you come might be important. Staff was fine and friendly. They offered some small snacks before the main meal. They brought different kinds of bread. They brought and showed us the fresh fish they could make. They explained the menu in English. It has a nice atmosphere, it could possibly have more of an atmosphere in season. Now I will write to knowledge who reads this review: Bread was stale. The cooked fish and vegetables were cold and fishbones came out. We mentioned these two situations, but they ignored it. Just for such prices the restaurant should not have basic deficiencies.

I am a local and have been coming here for over 20 years. The excellent food is always a guaranteed win. You close your eyes & say yes this is delicious ! The wine list is superb & both Alessandro & Barbara are both sommelier & select their wines impeccably. The sea view is one of the best along this side of the coast - so in Summer you feel especially pampered. If a tourist wanting a high quality experience with superb food, was to ask me where to eat on the litorale coast I would recommend Foresta in my top list of choices. The owners are passionate about serving quality products all the time bringing to them their family history over the years.

This restaurant is a great experience. All seafood was fresh and natural. It is a restaurant suitable for Japanese glasses who eat fish regularly. Also dolce was great too.

Nice place by the sea front. Very big selection of wine. Good service and a good atmosphere. Highly reccomended.

Yummy fried seafood and beach...

The 3.9 Star rating is more an expression of the visitors, that the restaurante. If you have a taste for quality and fresh food, you´ll be at the right place. In the season it might be crowded with people who don´t know about the italian way of dining. If you take your time, you´ll enjoy your stay and the food of course.

Do not make the same mistake I made in thinking that the previous reviews are unfair, this is a very poor overall restaurant and I don’t understand how it’s still in the Michelin guide…. The starters we good, and 2 waiters were really great. The pasta dish we had was undercooked, and no I don’t mean al dente, I mean crunchy pasta that sticks to your teeth, and so over salted. The risotto just looked sad, no creativity at ALL! White rice in white sauce on a white plate…. The main dish which is a mullet was so dry and didn’t even have salt and was overall flavourless. When I called “Barbara” who seemed to be the head waitress, she took the feedback personally and got all defensive and rude and just making things worse by saying “no one else complained, if the fish is grilled it shouldn’t even have salt” and just outright not accepting any for of feedback. Skip skip skip, there are much much better places just around there, even opposite to it is a better restaurant. Do not make the same mistake we made. I gave the 2 stars only because the starter was good, although also lacking salt, but still was good.

Place to avoid by any chance! Very rude, arrogant and unwelcoming owner/manager. Despite official lunch time ends at 15:30, as we arrived at 14:20 we were told that kitchen was already closed, there is no way to have a lunch and "we should call beforehand to book a table as this is absolutely normal for my restaurant" P.S. Nearby - starting the very next house - there are a bunch of good and much more customer-friendly restaurants.
