WOW! We just had possibly the best Italian meal we’ve ever experienced. The lasagna was to die for. It was so so good. My fiancé had the gnocchi which was also delicious.

I am not the person to normally leave reviews coming from the service industry myself, but I felt I had to at least let people who are considering spending their hard-earned money here what the experience was like (please consider elsewhere).

We have been coming to Clearwater Beach since 2004 just to have dinner here. Forlini’s is the real deal if you are looking for really great food with terrific ambiance. Their “Lobster Sinatra” is off the charts! This is a “don’t miss” for foodies. Whether it was just us or with a group of friends, never had a bad meal here. They also have a great wine list! Cheers!

Great food and service. The mushrooms, peppers, spinach and mozzarella appetizer is awesome. Veal chop Milanese was on point. Large wine list to round out the perfect meal.

Super disappointed, our anniversary and my husband put a lot of effort into this special night. My meal (the special) was terrible and I ate 1 bite and the owner didn’t do anything to make it right.

Absolutely wonderful experience from when we arrived to when we departed. Hostess was very nice and also very helpful when we inquired about menu items. We shared the caprese salad and lasagna. Both were very tasty and plentiful. Not sure why anyone would give this restaurant a less than amazing review. We were very pleased and would definitely dine here again.

Highlight of our trip to Clearwater! Really friendly staff, and good food (huge difference from the fast food-y feel of most Clearwater Beach restaurants). Definitely worth at least one dinner on your trip.

Classic, old school Italian restaurant, with a white cloth on the tables and waitresses wearing white shirts with ties. We had a wonderful dinner there. My mamas lasagna was tasty, rich and creamy. The other food that we ordered was very tasty as well.

Everyone at Forlini’s from the hostess to our excellent waiter Chris was friendly and professional. Our meals were delicious – some of the best Italian food we’ve ever eaten. We finished our wonderful meal with a wonderful creme brulee. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone! Can’t wait to go back again!
