We started with the crispy artichokes, which were perfectly fried and served with a tangy dipping sauce. The roasted bone marrow was a standout – rich, flavorful, and decadent, served with toasted bread that perfectly complemented the richness of the marrow.
For the main course, I had the ribeye steak, and it was absolutely divine – tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning. My companion opted for the braised short ribs, which were so tender that they practically melted in your mouth. Both dishes were accompanied by an assortment of delicious sides, including creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes, which were the perfect complement to the hearty mains.
The wine list is extensive, with excellent recommendations from the sommelier that paired beautifully with our dishes. Service was impeccable throughout the evening – attentive, knowledgeable, and with just the right balance of professionalism and warmth.
Forgione is a place that takes pride in offering a well-curated, top-quality dining experience, and it shows in every aspect – from the food to the service to the ambiance. It’s the perfect spot for a memorable meal, and I can’t...
Read moreHorrible. I would’ve salvaged and gave at least two stars for service, but I found the comments to be so offensive.
To the bartender who kept calling me ma’am. I think you need to be about a decade younger to be able to call some of my age maam. You did it to be rude. As confirmation the comment proceeding confirmed this. I shouldn’t have tipped because the joke that you made after was offensive & You didn’t say it to be polite.
Given that I write about places in a longer form, I’m gonna pass on this location because I just don’t think it’s worth it.
I don’t think it embodies what the current state of New York cuisines are nor do I think the services is elevated to a point worth giving any credit.
The bartender was snarky and a bit offensive. The hostess is the only thing that was positive. Given the inconsistency at the bar, she almost filled out of place with her positivity, conversed with the sidebar attitude of the bartender.
The one from Houston. She was making slight eye remarks behind my back and didn’t think I could see it and then I looked up and noticed her and someone else almost mocking me.
Heads up, you don’t get credit for treating people like human beings at your bar. That is the basic standard. You never once asked if I enjoyed my meal you just collected the bill and went on. This restaurant is on my list now.
Will include a link if I write about this a longer form but again I just don’t think...
Read morethe namesake of iron chef Marc Forgione is a must for carnivores `in the always trendy Tribeca.
the interior is dark with subtle lighting. a mixture of rustic and modern touches work seamlessly to create a unique ambiance and vibe for those looking to feast on an elevated menu in stylish relaxed digs. the restaurant is fairly big. it is superbusy on primetime nights. this is not a quiet place--there's an infectious energy moving from the kitchen and bar to the tables.
if you are a fan of food especially steak, go all in here. no toe-dipping--splash into those cocktails and gorge on the dinner menu. go big or go home. the signature cocktails are booz/ily composed and a nice way to start the night...an amuse bouche and the warm rolls with butter will appear soon. if you are lucky, you may one day get to try the bone marrow app...which was like a bone marrow pizza. crispy bread, umami bone marrow and layer a savory sauce.
unless you are solo-ing dinner (WEIRDO--who eats alone here?!! lol), get the porterhouse to share--so much perfectly cooked meat & seasonal veggies! you can't go wrong with this much steak...mmm meat coma!
if you have room, get the freakin' doughnuts! on busy nights, they will run out.
service? awesome. the servers here go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your time at MF.
drops mic cuz i'm on...
