Forlini's - Menu

It's been 8 months since I've been to Forlini's, and that's a sin. But the portions are so large that it only makes sense that I space my visits, right? RIGHT? Seriously, stop in for pasta I love their linguini and anything seafood. Friendly staff, full bar, old school Italian joint that's perfect for a family gathering, or even a date. Forlini's is a gem.

Went yesterday after a long few weeks for a great meal and great people Boy was it needed. From the second we walked in to the second we left we were treated like family but customers The was amazing as always and I will not take no for a reply but best shrimp parm

A cozy outdoor dining space, great customer service, delicious food what's not to like? My friend and I came here for my birthday and we shared calamari and pasta! Everything was well cooked and flavorful. I loved how crispy the calamari was! We also had red wine with our meals. I usually don't like red wines but I tried something I've never had before and it was great! They have a decently sized wine selection. After our meal, they brought out a cake with candles on it for my birthday. This was such a sweet touch! Really appreciated how thoughtful they were. View menu

December 2021 COVID Review: My husband and I were visiting Little Italy so why wouldn 't we go eat at an authentic Italian restaurant? We found this place due to the high reviews on Yelp. When we first entered, we were very kindly greeted by the owner! Overall the service was great, but the food left me very underwhelmed. I was expecting more considering the 5 star reviews and the high menu prices. The pasta that we got were definitely cooked al dente, but the food wasn 't super hot when it came out. We also weren 't super full after our meal either and the water that we were served was definitely NYC tap water due to the strange aftertaste.

I was visiting New York and Yelp recommended me trying Italian food from Forlini. I was able to get a table upon walk-in and I was promptly serviced. I ended up trying their gourmet set menu for $52/person and it was well worth it experience. For that price, you get a 4 course meal with a shot at the end. The courses are all variety plates so you get to try a lot of things on their menu. It started with appetizers, then pasta, followed by a meats plate, ending with choice of desserts. Not sure if it was written in the menu, but we also got a basket of fried zucchinis. Overall, I thought this place was well worth the price, and the food that you get is priced fairly for the quality and portio...

If you're looking for some old school Italian vibes with great food and strong drinks this is your place! I came here with my parents and fiancé on a Sunday night for dinner and we had such a great meal and overall experience. It's a casual place but you can easily dress up and fit right in. We started off with their bread and butter and ordered the Frutta di Mare this was a huge hit. For entrees we had Chicken Parm, Penne Vodka, Meatballs, Veal Francese and Forlini's Torteli. We loved everything so much so that ordered extra meatballs haha. Portions were a nice size but not gigantic which was perfect. For dessert we ordered the Tartufo and then our server gave us a Lemon Sorbet and Spumoni... View menu

I first came here in the late 1980's when I had a job at a city agency that had it's offices nearby at the old Sun Building at 280 Broadway. In the early 1990's, a good friend of mine was a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney, and I remember dining here a few times with him. As time marched forward, I started working in Brooklyn and The Bronx and never made it back here, until last night. My group of friends gets together quarterly to dine and stay in touch. Our Manhattan ADA friend left this mortal coil in 2018, and we decided to dine here as a way to stay connected with him as we expected his spirit to be present as he had dined here himself before. It was a happy and sad night. Happy to...

Great Restaurant! My boss recommended this restaurant. I made a reservation but you don't need one. It was Friday at 8:00 pm and it was full but it was a couple of tables available. We waited like 5 minutes for them to acknowledged we were there waiting for a table. A really nice guy came and guide us to our table. The Restaurant is not big but has his charm. The hostess brought the menu, Huge menu!!! We waited like 10 minutes for a server. When the server came I was ready to order everything ! but he left after I ordered the drinks lol... The drinks came pretty fast and then we ordered. Great food! and the quantity is very good! Food ! Scarparelli for one) not ! this is not true! you can sh...

Forlini 's is a Downtown Courthouse institution which was until recently relatively unknown to the Gentrifiers and tourists. I wonder why this is so? Certainly not because of the food, which is terrific. All of the pastas, sauces, and desserts are delicious. Their steaks and veal and seafood are expertly sourced Certainly not due to the service which is absolutely professional, no nonsense and pleasant. Certainly not due to the price which offers extraordinary value. Certainly not due to the location, which for years has made it the lunchtime Go To for the Judges, Attornies and Court Staff who work nearby nor its proximity to Chinatown, SoHo, NoLita and Little Italy. No, the reason the trend... View menu
