Excellent! Beyond impressed with our first visit to Bonta Del Forno. It has been on my list for a while and I decided to make a reservation for Father's Day. I'm always willing to extend grace on holidays as restaurants tend to be a little busier, but I didn't need to. Our server Macy was absolutely fantastic -- warm, attentive and helpful. Our food was delicious- calamari for our appetizer, Red fish with potatoes (sauce was good, capers would have elevated even better) ,Fettuccini with shrimp and Veal with side of pasta. All dishes were a nice portion, well seasoned and tasty.The complimentary bread was also a perfect addition. Each entree was very affordable. I observed the manager being supportive in helping bring out appetizers and meals to tables around us -- which I always appreciate. We didn't try dessert, because we were stuffed, but will definitely try it again. Only two areas of constructive feedback -- we came specifically for the weekend brunch, but it was not available today. That would have been nice to see on social media or as confirmation when we booked our reservation online. It is very dark -- almost too dark. But those are two small items. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning. Great job!
