Our Guestbook
“ The food is always hot and delicious. The people that work there are great. They are always polite and respectful. The only issue I have with them is getting my order right. I often have to have them redo the order because something isn't right. But that's not enough to make me stop going there. ”

“ Last weekend, I took my partner out to dinner at Fortissimo. We were in West Orange that afternoon and instead of trekking home and cooking, it just made sense. Also, both of us had been to the pizzeria when we were kids (we're talking 90s here), but haven't been in recent years. So why not do something different and try it out? Suffice to say, we were not disappointed. It exceeded my partner's expectations - he raised an eyebrow when I first suggested it (the last time he was there, it was after his Mountain Top league soccer game) - but we had a fantastic dinner and would definitely come back again. So I dine with a vegetarian (who occasionally goes gluten-free); and we were able to order a fulfilling meal here. Below is what we ordered: - 1 large tossed salad with dressing on the side that we shared - 6 piece buffalo wings that I housed on my own - 1 personal cauliflower cheese pizza with roasted pepper, garlic, and spinach (~$20) - 1 personal regular drunken nona pizza pie (~$13) - 1 grilled veggie wrap that he sampled and then took home because we ordered with hungry eyes Salad was fresh. Wings were really good, the pieces were a generous size with a flavorful sauce and the right amount of heat. My partner said this was the best tasting cauliflower crust pizza he's had and would order it again. My drunken nona pizza was awesome and will be my go-to order. And the veggie wrap was a hit when sampled and also when eaten the day after. Our waiter was cool and took care of us. Also, when we entered, the guy at the counter greeted us and said we could take any table. There were about three other parties seated in the dining room area, and a few people ordering or picking up take out at the counter. The dining room area has nice dark wooden tables/booths, brick on the walls, wine racks and there was a piano in the middle of the space (surprised to see the piano). The vibe felt that it's a family friendly, chill, italian eatery where you can enjoy a good meal. Recommended! ”
