Outstanding brunch during a Wednesday lunch. The eggs are phenomenal, but so was everything else. Service was a little slow, but all in all good, which is fine for business lunches. Can’t wait to return to try more items on the menu.

I could not remember if I had been here before, but once I saw the space I immediately remembered as it is SUCH a beautiful room. Both inside and out, Forza is a wonderful space. Food was excellent with the Pasta being the star of the show, of course. Most notable, however, were the polpette and the excellent passionfruit mocktail. Bpoth stood out and I particularly appreciate a real mocktail rather than something basically canned like so many places push. Daniel (I think) was our server and he was fantastic. A legit fan of the food, you could tell he had personal experiences with the dishes and I deeply appreciated his service. Will be back!
