What People Say

"This is by far the best Italian I have tried."

Reviewers consistently praise the authentic Italian cuisine and the warm, welcoming service at Formaggio's.

"What a wonderful experience. Love Italian food, and these guys did it so well. Opted for the Risotto and loved it. The chips were the best I've ever had, anywhere. Service was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Limoncello for after... beautiful! Top marks, Formaggios."

"Service and atmosphere were pretty good. I personally loved the gnocchi which had the right amount of seasoning and with a bit more parmesan it was 🤌 My family loved the ravioli which I thought needed more salt. The rest of the food we ordered were great."
