Cucina Forte - Philadelphia

Will not go back. Very very very loud. Could not even hear the server when he was telling us the specials and could not hear one another talk at our table. When I asked to substitute a vegetable for another I was told no they will not do that. Also very small and close to one another. One and done for me.

We had an early reservation so it was very quiet. Felt like private dining just for us. Service was excellent and food was delicious. Been there before and haven’t been disappointed yet.

It's the best. Best food, best service, best everything. I love it there.

Service and food were fantastic! Bread with olive oil is such a great starter and very fresh. Dream Soup and prosciutto with melon set a great tone for the rest of the meal. We will definitely be returning!

The food was very good. My wife's lobster ravioli was excellent. We had a table of 6 and all the food came out at the same time hot and fresh which doesn't happen very often. The appitizers's were excellent the best being the Portabello mushroom stuffed with crab meat and gorganzola cheese. We were even soaking up the cheese and crab with bread after we devoured the portabello mushroom. Dessert was good too the best there was the Ricotta Cheese Cake. Overall this place stays on the places to go and recommend list. This one thing other than the food being very good and prices being reasonable that stood out was the service The two people that were taking orders and serving us definitely exceeded expectations. They knew the specials to the last detail well as the menu but the genuine excitement about the food they were serving and overall enthusiastic attitudes made it seem as if we were at someone's house for dinner not at a restaurant. They made us feel at home comfortable and had great personalities it was a nice change from some places where it seems people are there just to work and get you fed and out. These two were just great and I would go back just based on their work alone. They were excited about the food they were serving genuinely interested in our opinions and satisfaction about what we ordered and were eating. We will definitely be.back, thanks to the servers for great dinner, and to the chef great food
