Forbici Modern Italian

Great food! Loved the pizza

I attempted to eat at this establishment with my partner and her parents and we waited more than an hour to be seated. Multiple parties who came after us were seated before us and they did not have reservations, as we were close enough to hear their conversations. When we respectfully inquired about the wait-time we were greeted with rudeness. For clarification, we had no problem waiting as we know this can happen but the hostess was blatantly seating others before us. My only regret is not asking to speak with her supervisor. I have been here countless times before and never encountered this issue. I had one drink while waiting and we then decided to go elsewhere which was unfortunate because we wanted her parents to experience the restaurant.

Food was pretty good. The antipasto board was fantastic. We cleared it except for the mustard that’s got way too much vinegar or something in it. Definitely knocks you back. The truffle fries were a hit. My salmon was amazing. My wife and mother had the same shrimp pasta dish and thought it needed a side of bread with it, but enjoyed what they could eat. We were pretty full. The espresso martini was good, the st Patrick’s mezcal cocktail wasn’t. Been here before and got pizza, a classic, but didn’t have room for it this time. Overall a nice place. It gets busy and loud, not a romantic dinner spot, but a good place to grab a shared plate. Also the water is not drinkable when warm. Parking: Hyde park parking sucks, so what can you expect Kid-friendliness: With the loud music, the drinking, and easily reachable items of destruction, I wouldn’t consider it kid friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: Don’t have a wheelchair so not entirely sure but I recommend telling them with your reservation. I could see one struggling once they were inside, maybe outside would be a better fit.

We had a delicious charcuterie board with the tasting mild buttery honey comb. It was the perfect appetizer paired with tart martini. Absolutely a perfect way take a break and enjoy shopping and the beautiful weather outside. We will definitely be back. Service was beyond excellent too

Always amazing. Love the atmosphere in Hyde park.

Good food but nothing special.
