Formento's - Table reservation

We were a party of 9 including three children, so bigger group. Bigger ticket, too. But nonetheless we were there for two and a half hours. Was this 2.5 hours of eating? No. The journey was excruciating due to slow delivery of orders and absentee service. It seemed to us the server was an order taker not a hospitality player and so once orders were in the job literally ceased. That we sat there for lengthy periods waiting and waiting for food was tough for all. The food was fine if a little on the cool side at arrival.

Went here for dinner with friends. We sat outside as the weather was good. The staff was pleasant and engaging. They gave us some bread while we waited for our meals. Most of our meals were actually delicious. I had the paccheri and grilled chicken, which I enjoyed. The sauce was vodka based with some marinara. The cocktails were good, and they have mocktail options as well. They did double charge us, but after calling them, they said they would rectify it. We had tiramisu for dessert, which was okay. I would like to visit again.

Absolutely fantastic. Excellent service—careful, friendly, kind, exceptional attention and service all around. Food was delicious and perfectly timed. Didn’t have room for dessert, but so glad I ordered it anyway. ?????? This is my favorite place to go for a special occasion.
