Trattoria Fortes - Carta

Disgusting poor quality food. Frozen prawns. Sloppy lasagne, over cooked mussels and poor customer service. Manager unprofessional

Very good atmosphere, friendly, good service, very good food. How wonderful to have a touch of Italy in little Swanage especially in these covid times!

We wisely booked ahead for our wedding anniversary meal this is a very popular restaurant. That popularity is wholly understandable as the food was excellent and the service very friendly. Ver carta

First time here, unfortunately all four of us did not enjoy our dinners, very expensive, not fresh, small portions, told by owner special menu items frozen not fresh. Would not visit again.

Staff were unfriendly, rude and unprofessional. The food was over priced. Portion sizes were small , but in a way a blessing so there was less to push around the plate. Prawns were not fresh and tasted terrible.

This was our first visit to the restaurant and we had a great time. They were accommodating and allowed our well-behaved small cavapoo to sit under the table while we enjoyed the delicious food and excellent service. We started with mussels and tiger prawns and had lasagne for our main course. We are looking forward to coming back again soon. Ver carta

Just eaten here last night, booked our table at the beginning of the week. Many people were being turned away that had not booked a table. The food was really good, best bruschetta I have had at an Italian, followed by a good lots of...super pasta to chose from, Arabiatta, d Lasagna, wonderful rissoto. All served with a smile, a rwally lovely family evening. Highly recommend, but book well in advance so as not to be disappointed. https

My friends and I opted to try something different instead of the usual Friday night fish and chips. We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! Each of us ordered a different pasta dish and they were all fantastic. The service was fast, attentive, and the staff were very knowledgeable about Italian cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant was charming and we had a wonderful dining experience. We definitely plan on returning and would highly recommend this place to others.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at this restaurant. We started with a delicious garlic bread topped with cheese. I ordered the cannelloni, which was cooked perfectly, although I wish there were three tubes of pasta instead of just two. I couldn't resist ordering another round of garlic bread. My wife enjoyed her chicken dish. To finish off the meal, we shared a decadent treacle panettone, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great evening in a nicely decorated restaurant. They definitely know how to do things right. Ver carta
