Reviews of Fortina
Anna
Cool vibe, nice ambiance, very spacious and bright.
Service is fast, all the staff members are friendly and accommodating.
Food was delicious, beautiful presentation, and the dessert was wonderful.
I would like to come back here again.
J Mera
I been here several times, very nice place, weather you go with family or just a couple. They are very friendly and their service is top notch. Love their dishes the shishito, the pizza made fresh. Even the lasagna , and their desserts. The pudding recommended. I believe their manager Alec is doing a phenomenal job with the staff and service, thank you for the attention to detail in our experience.
Rosemary Keane
A true gem found in Yonkers NY. The aroma of fresh bread and a wood fire are an open invitation. We had fries mozzarella sticks and meatball appetizers, followed by chicken parmesan and Paulie’s Pie pizza. The food is outstanding and I highly recommend this place.
Marisa Rosario
Had our baby shower here in Dec.2022. From the very beginning they worked with me to find a package that worked within my budget and what I was imagining for the day.
Day of the baby shower it was all hands on deck and the staff worked diligently to help my family set up. Shoutout to Jessica and Fabian who were spectacular during the event and have taken care of us even after since it’s now our favorite place to go!
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the amazing food but most of all the amazing team at Fortina Yonkers. Thank you again for everything!
Angela Rondinella
We had pizza and wood fire cauliflower. Both were very good. The food took a bit to come out, yet there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Our server was sweet.
George Espinal
Absolutely delicious. The decor, the ambiance and the vibe was fantastic.
This italian eatery is great with a date night, gathering with friends, co-workers, family or bringing the kids if you have any.
We ordered Burrata which is probably the best one we’ve had in New York. It was rich and creamy over a toasted bread. Highly recommend grabbing a order of their lovely Burrata with honeynut squash.
Their sweet sausage and peppers pizza was to die for. We devoured the pie within minutes. It was flavorful, tasty and each bit was incredible.
The drinks were delicious. It could have been slightly stronger but other than that the dinning experience was excellent with affordable prices.
Highly recommend this italian eatery tucked away in Northern Yonkers.
Alexander Knapp
Sprawling restaurant with a 360° bar! The large
Atrium structure gives an outdoor feeling as you look at the wood fire ovens and kitchen to the front. Food looks and tastes amazing! Must Eat!!

We came here on a Wednesday evening for dinner. The restaurant is very nice and clean, and has great, casual ambience; perfect for a date night or family dinner. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer and the broccoli rabe for starters, the pappardelle bolognese and bucatini with clams for our meal, and the panna cotta for desert.
Fried calamari was delicious and crispy, and both of the sauces were a great complement. Broccoli rabe was a little bit skimpy on the portion, but good. Both our mains had perfectly cooked pasta; the bucatini and clams were fresh and light, and the pappardelle bolognese was creamy and hearty. The panna cotta was okay, nothing to write home about.
Only complaints were that our table was crooked and didn't sit right, the customer service was acceptable but not great (we also put in our online reservation that we had a birthday/celebration and this was never brought up), and the restaurant was a touch loud although that was mostly just the kids at the table next to us. Overall though, the food was fantastic and it was a very nice night!
Randal Paster
We've only tried their pizza, which is phenomenal. This time their pizza oven was unavailable. Not a problem, we tried their food. Amazing! We had an arugula salad with grilled chicken, and a baked pasta dish( one that I'd never heard of). Both entrees were stupendous. We will be returning many times.
P. S.: They have a loyalty program that looks to be quite rewarding.
P. S. S.: Points accumulate 2x quicker when you dine on Mondays and Tuesdays.
John Mathai
This place is a hidden gem . Great place to eat . The atmosphere is very vibrant and relaxing. This a good spot for friends or family gatherings. The staff was very nice and very informative of the menu and honest in their recommendations. The portions served was good and matches the prices . The food presentation was good . The drinks were great. Overall a great place . I will return again.
Paul Giama
Great food. Friendly staff. Cold beer and cocktails. Family friendly, indoor and outdoor seating available. Recommended.
Dan Ferrara
The food here is really tasty - I’d recommend the spicy meatball pie with vodka sauce. The dough here is really good, you won’t be disappointed!
Claire Grantham
I enjoyed my super quick dinner here. But I felt it was overpriced. The food was good, but does a plate that contains 2 cauliflower florets chopped up need to be $10? I wanted it so I bought it, but that doesn't change the fact that it was pricey. Service was slow at the bar, but that was because only 1 poor guy was working and there were a lot of people at the bar. When I did get served, they were very very good.
David Abrevaya
Fantastic restaurant! The food and the employees are wonderful, the decor is insanely cool!
George Kazazis
Really good pizza. Our server Derek did a fantastic job.
Andrea Hayes
We travel from NYC every Saturday to dine at Fortina Yonkers. The layout of the restaurant is great and the food super delicious. What really makes us come back every weekend is Alec and his staff! They make us feel like family and ensure that each time we are there, we feel the love. Alec is always busy but he finds the time to greet us and stop by our table to ensure that we are having a good dining experience. His staff (Sade, Willie & Joshua, sorry that I don't know the names of everyone ) are very attentive and accommodating. We just want Alec and the staff of Fortina Yonkers to know how special they are and how much we appreciate them. Looking forward to our next visit!
James Corcoran
The pizza and pasta was good here. The pasta was better than the pizza. Everything is made for sharing. The pizzas are small, so it allows you to get multiple pizzas. They could be a personal pizza if you are hungry enough, but probably not enough for 2 people. The pasta dishes are meant for sharing as well. They could be a one person dish, but it won't for everybody. I felt something held me back from making this 5 stars. While each dish was good, nothing felt memorable.
Mitch Sobel
I rarely, if ever post a review of a restaurant, particularly after just one visit, but that’s how good the experience we had was. Our waiter, Angel, was a rock star from the first. We took the kids out for a much needed Saturday respite. There were other families there making the space feel very welcoming. The restaurant layout was also a positive asset, since nobody was piled on top of us and gave all the kids in the restaurant space to be kids without disturbing others. The menu had a wide variety of choices and all the food was really good, down to the deserts and coffee. We had a very minor mixup with the order to which Angel and the manager bent over backwards to make it up to us even though we didn’t think it was that big of a deal. I only hope that I expressed our gratitude and very much plan to return.
Alexandra Brown
Excellent food. Pizza and pasta both delicious. Service very friendly and efficient. Accommodating to a 2 year old. Great looking modern space and airy. Cocktails overpriced.
CC Benitez
Used to love this place. We haven’t been in a few years, and last night we had a very disappointing experience. It was a Sunday night, not very busy. We were looking forward to our visit and their food all day. But our waiter could have cared less if we were there or not. We placed our order, my meal came out first. In order to enjoy it warm, I started eating. I was half done by the time our son’s kid pasta/meatballs came out. I was 3/4 done by the time my husband’s meal arrived. Pretty bland, needed quite a bit of salt to bring out flavors. My husband’s drink was no longer on the menu, but he was almost done eating by the time waiter came to tell him. I was finished with my meal when I asked to remove the glass of wine I never received from our bill. Waiter barely apologized under his breath and left quickly to the register. When we were done, we were handed a check with barely a glance or thank you. Would have been classy to comp a glass of wine or at least hubs drink but nothing. We definitely didn’t feel like our business was appreciated. Unfortunately the waiter needs to find a line of work he cares about. It’s obvious he’s not good at customer service. Kitchen wasn’t busy, timing food would be better. Will think twice before going back.
Yoseph Psyedge
So much potential , reviews are not for customers they are for owners and management. It's a little embarrassing how badly you guys are underperforming. This place should be packed . Train the staff better, nice people , kind and welcoming but gotta be quick especially when it's empty. You need a professional bar tender. Gianna's had a line out the door , you guys had 4 people inside and Gianna's is an ugly restaurant compared to yours. Step your game up I'll be back in a month .
Very pricey!
Paul Cruz
Ordered a mixed drink(good), mozzarella sticks(good), and the short rib ragu(bad). Would definitely go back to try the other dishes but for the price of everything to portions, not so much. The Short Ribs in that dish were horrible tasting, I don’t really leave feed back like that but I would suggest taking that off the menu
Vicki M
Pizza was amazing! Loved the LB Pizza.. with buratta, black truffle truffle, robiolona and super thin crust.. was told to try the chili honey glaze, I personally don’t care for the honey but my friend dumped it on her pizza and loved it! The eggplant rolatini was so crispy and yummy.. ordered a lemon drop martini.. deliciously sweet and refreshing.. loved the outdoor seating.. oh and for dessert we tried the bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla gelato, the waitress recommended the pair.. and we were glad she did! 👌🏼
Ahmad Zaatreh
This would be my third time here at this place and once again we were not disappointed. Food is always good and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the Chicken Parm and the Fried Meatballs. This is the ONLY place i will go and order meatballs out because usually if they aren't mom's I don't want them.
Alexis Levitan
2nd time back. Group favs were the pizza with pepperoni/ spicy honey drizzle. Bread pudding too. Great atmosphere, what a cool space. Took out of towners and they were loving the rustic aesthetic of the restored building, mural is awesome. Sweet and very attentive staff.
Nic Carter
ambiance is a great, industrial large space wooden tables, not a white tablecloth atmoshphere but great for a meet up. be aware happy hour drinks are only honored at the bar, so if you get a table, they attempt to charge full price even though it is happy hour!!? Had children with me at the table so made a point to ask the waitress to honor the happy hour price. We ordered 1) plain cheese pizza (my son noted it was just "Meh" at best) 2) Calamari (delicious, the right crunch, not too chewy, not oily just good) 3) Chicken Parm Sammie (yuck yuck, flattened chicken breast, that may have been sitting under a heat lamp too long it was dry through and through and burned, and so flat it didn't even taste like chicken. ate 3 bites just hoping it would get better. it didn't) 4) Chicken parm and ziti. the ziti was pasty just too sticky. the sauce was ok but ziti was dressed sparingly. the chicken breast was surprisingly decent. But the drinks are where it's at! I don't remember the name of the drink I ordered but it was made well. strong but not too strong. I nursed one drink the 90mins we were there and it sufficed. I would go again but would not order more than appetizers.
Iris Pagan
I've been to fortina before but under different circumstances and at a different location. My partner and I came here for some lunch (specifically interested in the pizza). During this visit, outside seating was available, social distancing was in place, granted there were only other 2 customers. Staff cleaned/santized after every customer. A new ordering method is being used instead of someone taking your order. If you don’t have a smart phone or if your phone doesn’t have Qr. code scanning capabilities then you can’t really come here as they don’t have actual menus. You have to use your personal phone and order through it and prepay for your order. We ordered the classic pizza with pepperoni, an order of calamari and 1 soda ($3 for a tiny 6oz cup) and it was totaled at 50 dollars. Gratuity was included in the total (18% minimum). The total seemed kind of high for what we got and also an enforced 18% gratuity rate doesn't make sense when the customers and staff aren't even having contact during COVID. Nonetheless the food was good, a bit over priced, but it was a nice quiet lunch day out.
Marlon Smith
This would be my third time here at this place and once again we were not disappointed. Food is always good and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the Chicken Parm and the Fried Meatballs. This is the ONLY place i will go and order meatballs out because usually if they aren't mom's I don't want them.
Joshua Rodriguez
Aesthetically it’s really beautiful. Urban brick vibe. The good options are small but they have some good options. Got the calamari and a pizza.
Adam Corrigan
Amazing pizza and meatballs! Try the spicy meatball pizza with hot peppers. The meatvall appetizer is my absolute favorite and the closest thing to how my grandmother used to make meatballs. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The truffle oil pizza is great and the prosciutto pizza is also amazing. We went with a group of 7 so I got to try a few things. The chicken parm was also one of my favorites. It's a cool old industrial building that's been converted into a restaurant so it has a really cool vibe to it. Bit a huge selection of wine or beer but the few that they have are good. Definitely worth a visit when in Yonkers, or Armonk, or Brooklyn.
Rob Myrick
I found this place close to my hotel and the reviews looked good, so did the pics of the food.
Fortina is in a really cool looking, old building and has a industrial feel when you get inside. The unmistakable aroma of a wood fire is welcoming.
I was seated quickly, as I went to the bar being solo. The bartender, Melanie, was over with the menu pretty quickly with the pizza and Happy Hour options too. I quickly eyed the Chicken Parm Sliders and $5 well drinks on the Happy Hour menu as my opening options. For my dinner I was stuck between the Wood Oven Baked Ziti and the Gnocchi, with Melanie suggesting the ziti. I went with that and about that time the sliders came out. And all I can say is "amazing" is not enough for how good they were. When my ziti came it looked just as good and I opted to add a meatball to it. That put this ziti over the top. The cheese was stringy and gooey, the sauce has great flavor, the pasta was perfect and the meatball had a great texture and taste. Perfect portion with the 2 together.
Lastly, I wanted Key Lime Pie (made locally), but they were out and I opted for the Bread Pudding. I should have never wanted the pie, because the bread pudding was the best I've ever had. Ever. I'm from the south and grew up on bread pudding, this was the best. Ever.
Eliezer Heredia
Excellent place for a date of just to get out of your routine where you can find one of the most beautiful polenta table rich in flavors. Their attention to details by the entire staff is amazing. Great selection of cocktails (Negroni and Gumad group choice). Great music and excellent ambient. I truly recommend this place because I am about to become a regular there
Al Cohen
Cool redeveloped space in Yonkers. Yes, you read that correctly - Yonkers! It's big and airy with a warehouse look. They have a brick oven that they make pizzas and other things in. If you're in the area definitely worth checking out. There's a few outdoor parking lot.
Elizabeth Heredia
I simply loved the experience we had at this restaurant. The customer service was amazing. I would give 10 starts if possible. Great experience. I went with my brother and his wife to try the polenta. It was great it's a must. I'm not a drinker but I tried the Gamud and it instantly became my favorite drink, I loved it. Ps they have amazing sangria. Everything was amazing even their playlists 😂. I love the place was spacious and simple.prices were right for the type of restaurant. We will be definitely going back
Camilo Echeverri
Very good food and service. Specially recommend an appetizer with mozzarella and toast (can’t remember name). A bit expensive but still would recommend :)
Elizabeth T.
I love their pizza selection and ambiance. Lost once star because we were the first customers of the day and the first pizza they brought us was cold, not sure if it was from an earlier sale but definitely didn’t seem right. When we spoke to our server they quickly offered to make us a new, fresh pizza.
Yeamen S. Ali
This place was amazing! The food was great especially the ravioli. The pizza was good too but could’ve been better. Definitely loved the drinks which were really refreshing! Overall the service was great. I love the idea of using this mini card as a way of calling someone over instead of making eye contact so you can call someone over to ask for anything.
Michael St. Marie
Love this place, I eat here every time I am in town. Great pasta and pizza and the atmosphere is really nice.
Peter Merabishvili
Everything about this place was amazing! The place, the atmosphere, the service and of course the food! They served real Italian Margherita pizza and I also had delicious spaghetti!! I would suggest anyone! Place is family friendly too!
Shayne Gallo
Had my flight canceled, so stopped in here for dinner. Really liked the atmosphere. Meatballs were excellent. Ciocolata densa was super rich, and they give enough for at least two people. Eggplant app was good. Ashlee's service was great. I'd probably come more often if I was local.
Elisa Bruno-Midili
Pizza, pizza, pizza! My fave no matter where I go is marinara style. The true flavor of the crust is revealed topped by tasty tomato sauce. Heavenly! All pies are great here plus other dishes. Yonkers location is cool, industrial and festive. It's close to Ubtemyer park.
Alcy Leyva
Probably going to be my go-to for pizza in the neighborhood. Drinks and food were well done and the bread pudding was one of the best I’ve had.
Michael Olivier
My family and I have been to all their locations. This one is by far the biggest and most open space. Food is always good. More of a small plate / sharing restaurant. Big groups are great for this place! Pictures are the bone marrow!!
Ying Perez
Very nice atmosphere, good food and exceptional service from a very friendly and attentive server! Glad we ignored a review about their Chicken Parm being made of ground chicken?! Far from the truth! It's an actual pounded half of a chicken breast with the top wing still attached like some high end restaurant in the city often do. Beautifully breaded and baked in their brick oven. Very satisfying meal. Highly recommend this place.
Ramiro Cabrera
Five star experience! Great pizza and great customer service. Managers came up to introduce themselves and all appeared to be genuine. Please make the soda cups bigger haha!
Andrea
Service was great, very pleasant staff. Food arrived quickly and efficiently. Jessica the general manager was very accommodating and efficient. Will definitely return!
Leo Mor
Awesome place! Good food, great service so far, a bit pricey, and i dont know how i feel about drinking beer from a wine glass,(classy i guess) lol, nice bar if you just wanna go for some drinks, gotta try their garlic bread! Is really good.
Cesar Blanco
Opened 2 nights ago. Things were a bit hectic but food was amaZing and ambience and music was very nice. Hoping to go back soon once things settle down. Wait times were inaccurate and get ready to wait at the bar for a while. Will reevaluate once I go back will give them the benefit of the doubt since it's a new spot
Yokastaleen Diestro
The best espresso martini! Food was delicious and came out quickly. Fabian was the best waiter!
Fernando Ramirez
Amazing food, and service. Fabian our waiter was the best, thanks again, we'll be back soon.
Thomas Arlotta
Now if it was up to me, this awesome rustic warehouse would have made the coolest automotive shop, but if it has to be a restaurant, Fortina is right at home. So many places in Yonkers can't get it together but Fortina has! Great service, great and unique food, and Yonkers brewery beer. Not your typical Italian restaurant, very modern take on old classics. 4 for now, but once I return, I'm sure it will be 5.
Jeff Brown
The manager Vinnie was amazing! A1 service, great food & drinks. Cant wait to go back!
Vlad Misura
Went here twice while staying in Yonkers. The chicken parm was amazing and so was the salad. The bolognase was not the best.
Lamont Johnson
The food and service was outstanding! We have been here multiple times and always leave smiling. Staff is professional and attentive. Food and drinks are amazing with little to no wait time.
The only change I would suggest is the restaurant temperature. With woodfire ovens going the AC should be alot higher. Other than that, definitely recommend this restaurant to all. An excellent experience as usual. My family and I appreciate you.
Andre Smith II
Food tasted good. Resterant is comfortable to just relax.
angie3ffinbaby
Very nice atmosphere very open and rustic decor. Menu was good. Cute drinks. I got the paccheri, decent taste serving size for price was not worth it though. Gnocchi was also decent. My friends San Andres pizza looked good but she ate it before I could taste it haha. Good experience would return. Pricey for lunch and portions. We had two babies no problems.
Bluelii Company
Got recommended here, I’m a food critic & will be updating you on what’s actually good & bad here. See ya soon.
Nick G
rustic Italian food with a slight twist....perfect for anytime of the day.. great ambiance great service!!
Maria Rivera
The food was good and my guests had a great time :)
MayShing Ho
Amazing interior design, service, and food. The pizza was delicious and the fried calamari was lightly battered and seasoned perfectly. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.
Marianne Fanelli
Great thin crust pizza with a good variety of unique offerings!
Friendly waitstaff
D.J. Brewer
Fantastic pizza, friendly staff
Victor Calderon
We visited for the first time a few weeks ago and we loved everything we ate. We will return again.
Jaci Berkopec
Always great even during a pandemic. Service on point, food came SO fast and was perfectly wonderful.
Nicholas Apostle
Music is off the hook terrific and loud but thankfully the song selection, food and service are as well! Will return until I'm lucky enough to try everything.
Denise Laborde
Great place for a pizza. We ordered shrimp and spaghetti. Tasted authentic
Gelo Petsvona
Very nice spot. Very happening. Good pizza, cool bartender, just good over all vibe. Good food as well.
John Carbone
Delicious Italian food! Pretty big place with lots of outdoor seating. Great menu with over a dozen pizza options. They have a huge bar and a DJ (at least on Saturday nights). The service is very good with a friendly staff. They have big wood fire ovens for their pizzas which come out very quickly and very hot. The pizza is good, both in flavor and variety. The fried calamari was excellent. They have good meatballs and mozz sticks. Even the salads are good. There's plenty more choices than that on the menu - including a full compliment of specialty drinks. Inside is big and can accommodate large parties in the back. I enjoyed my time here.
Hadil Shannik
I’ve been to the other fortina locations, and loved them so I was complete shock about the experience I had at the Yonkers location. One of my friends ordered an Amaretto Sour, when it came to the table we were confused about the color of it because it looked exactly like the color of sweet and sour mix and as expected, when she drank it, there was no alcohol in it, it was just the sweet and sour mix with ice. We informed the waitress and she apologized and took it off the bill. Then we proceeded to order our apps and those came out fine. However, when we went to order our entrees, she told us that none of the pizzas were available because the oven was broken. It would of been nice to have been told that when we arrived at the restaurant since that was the only reason we went to fortina. If your restaurant is known for pizza, you should let the customers know when they arrive that pizza wouldn’t be available.
Nazs
The place was cozy, staff were attentive and very friendly. More than one person was serving which was great. The food came out quickly and the drinks were good. The vibe/ambiance was great to wine down.
I must say a few critiques... the cutlets were very thin and over fried. They were okay but the over frying messed them up a bit. The garlic bread was good but it was more like cheesy bread my wife liked it...to me it was blah.
The meatballs were good and my favorite was the potatoe croquettes. They were made to perfection.
Bartender made good drinks.
The waitress serving the bar area today did a great job and so did everyone else (from my entry to my exit.)
Overall, I was happy.
April Fino
Love this place, so hip, friendly atmosphere, pizza never a disappointed, 😊 delish
john leonardelli
I am a trained Pizzaiolo and these guys nailed the classic Margherita ...perfection and it's hard to find these days
Vidar Child
I've heard mixed things about this place. Some people said it's great, some said it's ok, some said it's overrated. Finally ate here for the first time today and my friend and I were very happy with the food, drinks and service.
Emily Pena
Staff is very sweet, nice and welcoming. Diana and Sofia was amazing, attentive and made sure we felt special. Food was great as well. Overall experience surpass amazing, will definitely be coming back!
Mario Andres Rodriguez
I ordered items that I have previously experienced and were a perfect fit for my accompanying guests. The appetizers are portioned just right -nothing too small. They allowed me to share between two adults and one child. We ordered the Brussels sprouts eggplant coliflower fried meatballs & ofcourse a pizza pie. I'd go back we always have decent service and respectful staff to our disposal.
Andrew Harmon (Werd69)
The place had a great rustic feel to it but in an upscale way. My wife had a pizza and my daughter and I had the fire roasted ziti. Both were delicious. Service was impressive, although it wasn't crowded. I want to see if there that attentive when it's crowded. Friendly staff and they just seem as if they want to please you. Great neighborhood joint. Will be going there often.
Harry D
Delicious thin crust pizza, if you are coming with a lot of people, I'd warn them first, very small staff.
Kathy Robles
It was too expensive for the quality of the food. Everything was very bland and didn't have anything else than the taste of tomatoes overriding it. I didn't take any pictures, since I didn't feel it was worth it... the cheesy garlic bread was really good though!
Pedro Rios
Service Was Great Actually She Was Being Trained...Food Was Good Also..
Will Go Back Again
Craig Cassell
Nice bar, patio, and dining room. But $20.00 for a single Bourbon pour? The most expensive I have encountered anywhere. Won't be going back.
Susana Mosiello
Food was good. Service needs improvement .
Lawrence Sashin
Beatfully decorated ,cavernous spot, with a young crowd eating to the beat of the contemporary in music. They're only 6 weeks old at this writing and stl have some kinks to iron out, all in all it was a good experience and we'll be back. BTW, try the fried meatballs and the brasiol
Daniel Napo
I'll start off with the positive, the food is incredible. Their wood fire pizzas, their pastas, apps and everything else in the menu is A plus. Now for the negative, the service is absolutely atrocious! There servers and bar tenders actively ignore guest, their bar is plagued with fruit flies obviously from lack of proper cleaning, and even some times you can hear the cook screaming in their open kitchen. But the pizza is good
R. Khan
Great pizza, drinks and the inside of the restaurant is great to be in, they even have outside seating. This place is great for parties as well
Alice Kreiter
The food was very good our waiter as well as the rest of the staff were wonderful we had fried calamari which was wonderful my husband the wood roasted chicken it was also very good and my son and his fiancee had pizza with truffles which they loved - I unfortunately only had a salad and that was very good. My son said the drinks were great. We sat outside on the side of the building great privacy to chat and enjoy. Bon appetit
Carrie Shumway
Cool space, great service, and delicious pizza!
John Bonamici
It's always a pleasure visiting this establishment this is their fourth location I believe in the Yonkers area very nice the decoration here is my favorite and looks really cool I highly recommended and the pizza tonight was amazing the Truffle Pizza amazing
Ekaterina Smirnova
I impressed by a design of the place. There are only a few unique designed restaurants in Westchester.
However, the prices are a bit higher, menu is simple.
We were sitting at the table right next to a bar, and there were midges, that bother us during the whole lunch. I noticed more of them near the open wine bottles at the bar. Maybe it's better to ask for a new bottle to opened in front of you.
Ivn
Good food, small portions, flavorful. Pricey. Spent $45 and these guys don’t give forks or utensils for takeout orders don’t know why it’s like they expect you to eat pasta with your hands. Girl that took my order was rude changing her mood when I said I wanted take out not dine in.
Lisa
Love the high ceilings & amazing cool looking space! The food could be better! Too many fried items. I like melted Mozzerella on my eggplant rollotini. Only ricotta inside! It has way Too much bread crumbs, too thick & it came out cold. Fried Meatballs were good, again stuffed w too much bread crumbs! Appetizers are overpriced!
Will Neese
Really great site. Huge open warehouse feel, more than ample outdoor seating, excellent food. Great options on a pie, all amazing choices to meet whatever you crave. Decent cocktails too!

Pizza was delicious, thin crispy and full of flavor, the pepperoni added the magic touch. The aesthetic and ambiance was great, very serene. Highly recommended, will return again.

Pizza is great.... but over priced . And they don’t carry any good domestic or import beers, just small no name beers at $9 a pop
What happened to your regular beers? No bud/Stella/Michelob!!!
This place is nice , they need bigger portions/ and fire the beer manager. Not everyone is a microbrew drinker.

Amazing experience. Great service and great food

Friendly service and food was amazing especially the fried meatballs, chicken parm nugget and the bread pudding. Would definitely be going again 😊 …

After our hike and on the way back home we decided to stop for dinner at this establishment.
We were able to easily make our reservation while driving to the location and was promptly seated upon arrival.
With a party of 4 we decided to basically get a variety of items to share because most of us have either dietary restrictions, or allergies to certain foods and as a group we are very versed in choosing a selection that fits our tastes everytime that we can share.
The pizzas here are famous, so after careful combing of the menu we were able to ask questions and was able to settle on 4 pizzas one of which was a truffle pizza and a large ceasar salad family style and other appetizers that was on the healthy side.
Our server was not a seasoned professional so there was not many questions she was able to handle without some assistance from the other staff members, but that was not an issue for us because we understood that she was fairly new.
At some point during our meal we noticed that one of the pizza had contained a pork product that was not listed as an ingredient that we saw when reviewing the menu, and was not specified after consulting with our server beforehand. This was an issue since this restriction was more than just dietary for that particular individual with our group.
The issue was quickly addressed by the manager on duty and a great resolution was accomplished.
We were able to enjoy the rest of our dinner and wine in the great atmosphere and feel of the restaurant.
Based on that service and the quality of the food, and protocol I will be visiting this establishment many times during this coming summer!!

Went last night with wife and daughter the first time and was impressed. The cell phone menu took a bit to get the hang if by the waitress was quick to help. Once the order was placed things started to come quickly and the food was very tasty. We ordered beets, ravioli and chicken. The best for me was the beets with the sauce complemented the squash ravioli perfectly. The drink (bada bung) was dangerous as it tasted really 👍 good. Definitely planning to go back. Also the restaurant wasCOVID conscious .

Great Pizza. Went there once and loved it. The pizza doesn't taste like the regular NYC pizza, but it's great still. They do something nice with their pizza and it's really great. It was just opening when I went there. The servers were SUPER NICE!!! I really liked the girl who was serving us, she had great charisma. I think her name started with a J...darn, I should have written this review earlier. I went there 5 months ago. The guy who was working with her was also really charismatic, and even though he wasn't our server, he talked to us too. They were both really really nice and made the place that much more enjoyable! They talked about their other locations too.
Too bad I don't live in Yonkers or I'd go there more. Great place though!
Quin Brucaj
AMAZING! best service, best food. Beautiful space & a laid back atmosphere. Yonkers is my new go-to Fortina location!
Seana Lindenthaler
I had the gluten free pizza and was surprised to see a thick crust pizza brought out to me that was indeed gluten free. It was good for thicker style pizza and was just the right portion considering the long day outside we'd had.
Christiana Raucci
Amazing food, very cool environment! Had margarita pizza and cavatelli with escarole, highly recommended!!! Grazie!
Phillissia
Family friendly, specializing in wood burning pizza pies and drinks. Nice place to catch up with friends.
Heather Kim
I think I would enjoy this restaurant better on a hot summer night with a beer. The environment is too chilly for the fall. Very cool interior. I loved this vodka sauce dish with meatballs, then toasted in the oven. The pizza was decent. I loved the crust, but the toppings were underwhelming. Nice staff but had to wait a long time for the bill.
Nicholas Zerafa
This past Friday evening, I took 16 of my daughter's friends to Fortina for my daughter's 17th birthday. A definite 5 star experience and a special thank you to Amanie Henderson, our "party host". He assisted me during the week with menu planning, stopped by our table continuously to make sure there was nothing we needed, arranged my cupcakes on a great pizza pan and had the waiters gather and sing "happy birthday" to my daughter. The food itself was excellent and it's great and definitely unique how Fortina offers so many party package ideas in all different price ranges. I will definitely be back and will recommend Fortina without a doubt!

First time eating there w my family of 4. Had the Pizzeria Salad which was good and enough to split. Then ordered a pizza which was like a sausage and pepper type and wasn't crazy about it. The portion was not big enough but luckily we weren't crazy about the type of pizza we had ordered. My youngest son ordered a cheese pizza from the kids menu and it tasted really good. Reminded me of the pizzas you get in Italy. To drink I ordered an iced tea which was larger than my hubby's soda. Prices were over priced. The waiter was nice. The manager was nice and came by the table to make sure all was well. Also, on Mondays kids under 10 eat FREE w a paying Adult entree. The place was clean and the ambiance was casual & laid back. Would I go back? Eh, perhaps for a plain pizza because I truly wasn't crazy about the pizza w the topping.
James Piazza
Amazing food, the meatballs are well worth the trip. However we must have come in on the most off night of the year. We waited almost 10 minutes to be seated, and almost 20 minutes for a basic round of drinks. No cocktails, beers and wine. The place was half empty too.
Food was good the service was laughably bad, if you value service as a part of your experience go elsewhere. Maybe we'll see Gordon Ramsey screaming at this guy.
Herb Prado
Been here before and usually order the pizza, which are phenomenal. But, this time I decided to try their lunch special - Chicken Milanese. The chicken was so flavorful and salad with dressing was super fresh. The portion was plentiful.. shared with my wife who also loved it. Hope they put this on their regular menu
Service as always is great. Staff is friendly courteous and attentive. Now I'm excited to try their other dishes
Luis Roldan
This Italian restaurant with a wood burning oven, offers cocktails, classic Italian dishes and thin crust pizza. With it's huge industrial space and out door seating it can accomdate small or large parties. Friendly and attentive staff.
Fatima Chorres
I really like the environment and the service. I would really recommend it. However, there's a new system for ordering and I thinking because of that, they brought the entrees at the same time as the appetizer. Which means, our entree was kind of cold by the moment we finished the appetizer. And some little fly were bothering
Lee Dimond
They have an awesome card system where you can place a playing card on a stand as an indicator that you need service.This pizza blew us away. And it's not because it was out of this world, but we weren't expecting the pizza to taste as good as it did. I don't really think their pasta is the best part of their menu. The pizza shines here. I recommend this spot to any pizza lover.
Mario camacho
Been here quite a few times and always enjoy my time with the good music very good dishes and drinks my last visit here I was served by Sofia and Diana who were both very helpful and super attentive and will keep returning hoping they serve us
Keep up great work !!!!
Christopher Ferrara
Great space and enjoyed the bone marrow and mocktails but $10 for the tiniest portion of pasta on the kids menu was way overpriced as was the cauliflower appetizer. The pizza was good but $20 for a personal size pie is a bit much. The Monday kids eat free seems like a good deal.
Terence Sean McGraw
Trendy Italian in a "converted warehouse" type space. Therefore, loud - but still able to converse. Varied, interesting menu. Many wood fired oven selections - not just the pizza. Wood fired cauliflower app on a Rosa sauce with pesto was delicious. It was one of many veg centric app (or side) selections. Partner had very ample prosciutto and fig platter (easily feed two) that was equally yummy. Wood fired chicken Parm was again ample, well executed and delicious. Partner's wood fired baked gnocchi was spot on. The service was pleasant but glitchy (gnocchi main came out with apps and we had to ask for our iced teas). Would definitely return.
Arthur Jurao
went there for a chill night after work, got some tasty pasta and drinks
got a discount for working at a local hospital, which was awesome
will be back soon
E. Goris
I was so impressed with the inside layout when I walked in! You do not expect it to be so spacious and elaborate on the inside.
Red brick walls decorated with street art, rustic unfinished cement blocks, exposed ducked work and firewood staked on the walls for their two big brick oven combined with the upbeat music definitely makes it a really good place to go with friends/family or even a chill date.
Happy hour is pretty legit
Pizza really good (we had the classic margarita and it was delicious!)
Drinks are fairly priced (look at their wine selección) and they even have mocktails for those who do not drink alcohol but don’t want juice or soda.
Service is A+
The plaza has a parking lot (huge plus in NY!) that you DO NOT have to pay for.
Great ambiance!
Loved it! Definitely coming again!
Krista Hanson
We had a great meal here. The happy hour 4-7 on a Saturday was an unexpected bonus. We tried 2 pies, 2 apps, a salad, and drinks. Everything was on point, fresh and flavorful. My favorite was the mushroom pie and sausage and peppers slider.
Linette Santana
Amazing experience. The food was 10/10 and so was the service. The ambiance was very nice as well. Would definitely recommend it to other and I will definitely be here again soon.
Kristy Stani
The food here is everything. Get the Luigi bianco pizza with the truffle or else you've wasted your trip! It's a little overpriced considering the portion size. The decor is industrial and very open. The service is pretty good usually also and the manager almost always stops by to check on you at some point, but music is too loud. Overall it's a good dining experience and I frequent there.
Jack Aiello
Wonderful spot for dinner. A friend rightly observed that the design and layout of Fortina's location looked like something you'd find at a mid-western strip mall or from an upstate New York suburb. Not a dig, but more a comment on the spaciousness of the set up.
Inside, Fortina echoes its spacious exterior with the high vaulted ceilings. They told me what this space once was, but I forgot, so I fantasize that it used to be some old factory. It definitely keeps that look with all the exposed brick and tons of windows.
As for the food, it was solid, no-nonsense Italian food that just tasted great. I had the arancini, which were delightful. The pastina with truffle oil was as good as any comfort food can get. My entree of pork chops with vinegar and peppers was a delight. Service was slightly slow (we waited a bit for our drinks), but not noteworthy enough to take away from the overall experience. All in all, this was a solid joint.
Antonietta Toni Gugliotta
Great location. Large parking lot, plenty of parking spaces. Staff was great and very attentive. Food was very good. My friends and I shared several appetizers and a couple of pizzas. The pizza margarita and the pizza with prosciutto and arugula were excellent.
Elias G
Amazing place - the decorations are just outstanding, the food was really good! And the staff very attentive and friendly.
The only thing that this restaurant needs to improve is the service. The food came out before our drinks - and the service was kinda slow. But overall, my friends and I loved it.
Liz DeGiorgio
Great Restaurant, great service and most of all good food. Especially the pizza! The only little complaint we had was that the music was too loud. When you can't hear what the person next to you is saying. I would say it was too loud. We told the manager and she did lower it. We will definitely be returning.
Elvenbayne
Seats a little uncomfortable at the bar area tables for someone with a big tush (the dueces with red chairs). I've sat at a regular table and two chairs I tried were wobbly. Otherwise fabulous customer service and food. A little pricey but not terrible. Great rustic atmosphere and the smell of a wood fireplace sets the mood. Will definitely return.
John The Barber
Food was very good, service good , nice place. That's the up side, the down side is everything is a-la- cart, no salad, no bread, nothing. The thing that I dislike the most was...I ordered a Miller high life, waiter brings me an open "CAN"of beer, no glass, I felt like street bum.
And as an Italian by birth, it is well know in all Italian households that there is ALWAYS bread on the table. It's an Italian restaurant, they should know this, very disappointing.
Grace Hernandez
Fortina is our go to family spot for lunch or dinner. I always bring family and friends when they come to visit because the ambiance, service and food is always excellent. I am a big fan of customer service and their hostesses and servers are always down to earth, welcoming and are open to answer any questions about the menu. My husband is a picky eater so was I while I was pregnant. We always made adjustments without any issue! Their pizza is brick oven goodness. All pies are delicious but I would say, always order the Margarita to really taste the dough, sauce and cheese because those simple ingredients on their own are the reasons why we always come back. You don't need to dress fancy to come here, but you do feel like a million bucks because of the staff.
Melissa Linsao
Love this place. The ambiance and the food is great. The bartender could be a little more personable and engage with the guests more but it's okay. Dealt with it. I love high ceilings and the art on the walls. Makes you feel like you're somewhere else. Will be back very soon.
Christopher Polanco
Had an amazing time here on a Saturday night! Place was packed yet they still met all my expectations and then some. Great food, exceptional service and a really cool atmosphere. Loved the loud music too, it made it feel very lively. Will def be back! Ita a most welcome addition to the Yonkers restaurant scene.
Caleb Wilson
A really fun pizza spot for the ambience and food. I made a reservation but still had to wait 30 minutes. We had to complain but they gave us some free appetizer and apologized. The customer service was still great and the food is delicious. Good atmosphere on a Saturday night.
Pierre Asselin
This place has really tasty food and is a nice location. They have a great system to get your waiters attention where you put up a card when you need something. This helps prevent the waiter from constantly bothering you or the opposite of trying to figure out how to politely get their attention.
All the food was good. We had the bone marrow appitizer and that typically isn't my thing but it was good, just be ready to wait a while before it gets too your table. The rest of the food was really good.
It wasn't too busy when we were there and wonder how good the service would be during a busy time.
mwayoe
The wood-fired cauliflower is a must! The pizza was fresh and delicious, the live music was beautiful and familiar, and the service was excellent. This is a great restaurant to enjoy the wonderful tastes of wood-fired meals.
Debbie Ruiz
The place is beautifully decorated. Excellent service from the moment we walked thru the door and throughout our time there. We ordered appetizers and our meals. The way the food came out was strange. For example we ordered a pizza and mozzarella stuck appetizer. Pizza came first then shortly after the mozzarella sticks. There was no order in the way the food was brought to the table.
Food servings are very small. For the prices charged there should be more food on the plate. We ordered a green salad. It was bland. I make a better salad at home. The food was ok.. nothing to say yes I want to return to have that meal again. Nothing we ate was delicious! I go out to eat delicious good tasting food. If you have bland taste buds this the place for you.
Ky Bryan
I've had the opportunity to dine at Fortina several times, each time with different groups of friends and each time these friends and myself agree we had an amazing time. The space and ambience makes you want to have conversations that never end. I am a creature of habit and only ever order the Marinara Pizza which I absolutely adore. My friends have had other styles of pizza, the octopus, the salad and other items and leave absolutely in love with Fortina. They always ask when are we going back. We especially love Juan at the Yonkers location. He's always bright and smiling and provides great customer service. I wish he could always be my host when I'm there. With that being said, the only criticism I would offer is that the other hosts, be just as attentive as he is.
Tiffy Lu
The pizza was good as always. Now they serve mixed drinks in your own glass pint bottle. They don’t provide menus so if you’re a person without a smart phone you are out of luck. You have to use a QR code to obtain the menu. The menu itself on the website isn’t all that user friendly it can be difficult to navigate to the beverage menu also you pay and tip before you even get your food. Odd because tipping AND paying should be done after the service is over. Other than that it was an ok experience. It was way better prior to COVID-19 but I guess all of these restaurants are trying their best. Also there bathroom lighting is wayyyy too dim and 2 of the 3 didn’t have any soap in the bathrooms but there was plenty of hand sanitizer. I prefer washing with soap and water though.
Greggory Hasselbring
Good atmosphere. Cool place for lunch or dinner. Good food and great friendly service. Interesting menu. Chris our waiter was very knowledgeable and everything he suggested was great. Our first time here and certainly not our last. We had a late lunch and the restaurant was not crowded. Almost every member of the staff made stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed.
A Smith
I remember this building when I was a kid in Yonkers... the abandoned brick building with deer leaping in and out the windows or where you'd go to do graffiti. I stood in awe once walking in lol. The ambiance and decor is pretty sick and I love that they kept the builing in it's original state for the most part. As someone who grew up there that was nice to see :) The food was great and the servers were all super friend and seemed down to earth. We went around 2pm on a Thursday so there was no wait at all. We ordered about 5 different things... 3 veggies a pizza and ziti. All of it was amazing. Our whole mean was unintentionally vegetarian so if you're a vegetarian there's plenty of options. Some vegan ones as well. We also got a phone call the following day thanking us for coming in which was really nice. Definitely will be back!
Irma Rivera
The atmosphere was dim, friendly, and chill. I ordered the new plant based chicken parmigiana. It was $29...... with a side of salad OR a hand full of wedge fries. For $29 it should include both fries and salad or pasta and a salad. Aside from the price, it was delicious.
Gina
NW Yonkers needed this in the area! About time too! Very good food, attentive staff & cool decor! OMG those fried meatballs!! Just like how my mom made them! Love the margarita pizza, and their roasted chicken had so much flavor and it wasn't dried out! Definitely making this place a regular!
Richard Musal
Service was solid and the place is really nice looking. The pizza is good. I had the prosciutto. I've had better pies, but it was good. I didn't have a pasta dish, but neighboring tables did and they looked like large servings.
Jess Diaz
We had the pleasure of celebrating our New Years Eve at Fortina. Everything was perfect! Management was able to accommodate a party of 15 last minute (mix of adults and small children) for an early dinner with their shared menu. We ordered the Chicken Cutlet, of course the Meatballs (yummm), Caesar salad, Garlic Bread, All Amatriciana pizza, Margherita pizza, Wood Fire Paccheri and Fusilli pasta. My entire family could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! The drinks were great & the best part was the service! Our hostess was extremely attentive to all our needs/asks; especially with small children. The restaurant itself is very pretty and ambiance was lovely. 1000% we will be back and I would highly recommend this place to friends and family!
Mark
Great experience. Food was delicious and the manager was very nice (went on an off night and there was barely anyone there). I kept eating until I couldn't anymore; everything I had was great. Havent been back since however it's definitely on my list for many return visits!
Charles G
Good food. Generous serves. Fairly priced. Plenty of options for food and drinks. Wood oven baked lasagna was delicious. Excellent friendly service.
Yamilis Bello
Last night was my first time at this beautiful restaurant and it deserves all five stars. My family and I had reservation but regardless of that, once we walked in the host attended to us immediately. The place is really nice, the vibe and music was dope. It was not to loud or low -everything was just right. Jen or Jenny ( the manager) was also nice enough to introduce herself and was do attentive of us the whole night, along with her crew. You know how you go to places and you only get a welcoming from your hostess-well at Fortina, everyone that passed by made sure we were okay. - We had the infamous Polenta. Guys, when I tell you that everything about this dish was desirable-it was. Even the cauliflower was seasoned. I had a drink called Gumad or Jumad ( Sorry, I was kind of tipsy when I asked the spelling of the name) - this drink was just right. I also had a Sangria, it was on point too. There was nothing wrong with this place at all. I'm for sure going back to try the pizzas I saw everyone else having.
carlos nunez (Coolnez23)
The place is located at a restored building, old graffiti were kept and can be seen. Come here for fire wood pizza. This place was just ok, Italian style food. Service you will have to experience for yourself.
Iliana Rossie
Just moved to Yonkers from Manhattan , and honestly this has become our go to place; even better than many places in NYC! Fresh food, great cocktails and the vibe is always right. This is perfect for date night, birthdays, girls night you name it. You will not leave hungry; The portions are big enough to share. Great staff, clean, and spacious!
SAVG
Service was less than desirable. I went for a dinner on a Wednesday night, and it was not crowded at all. Like most normal groups, everyone ordered a drink. They slowly made their way to our table. My glass of wine came to me about 40 minutes later after I asked the waitress twice about it, to which when she came by with it, gave to me with an attitude and said they had to get a bottle from down stairs. Ok you had to get a bottle from downstairs, no need to give me an attitude and slam my glass of wine on the table. There was maybe 3 other tables there of about 4 people each, my glass of wine shouldn’t have taken 40 minutes....unless the grapes were being stomped in the kitchen. Also there were several staff members there and we were the biggest table there. We shouldn’t have to ask for our drinks more than once in a night that is not busy. Surprisingly enough, the food came out incredibly fast and was very good indeed. What I am not impressed with is the attitude and poor service. If it was a busy Friday or Saturday night I would be more forgiving. But a Wednesday night when no one is barely there? I’d be scared to go on a busy night. In fact, I don’t think I’d go back at all. I can serve myself wine under 40 minutes sans the attitude.
Dina Campos
This is a great place to grab lunch or dinner In a quiet setting. Staff is very attentive, and the food is great.
marissa c
I just ate the best garlic cheese bread I ever had in my entire life plus buratta truffle white pizza Fortina in Yonkers. Maybe have actually been the best thing I ever ate in general. Tenderloin Pizza and mozzarella sticks also get a standing O as well
Tamika D. Wesley
Everything is ALWAYS so good.. cocktails, food, service, and ambiance!
We're never disappointed!
Peggy Dewar
Family-friendly, and comfortable. I was impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The food was delicious! The best, though, was the customer service; they called us the next day to make sure that we had a positive experience, and asked if there was anything they could have done better.
Jaselyn D
Delicious!! Staff was great.
Justene Miller
Such a nice location! I was really excited about going here because of the press and having visited other locations. We shared the chicken parm and the paccheri. Salty, but really satisfying. The service was sub par and I chalk that up to it being a newly opened location. When you walk in, no one greets you and you stare aimlessly until you are recognized (also inconsistent because some patrons were greeted instantly). Our waiter was attentive but then disappeared because everyone was having a staff meeting in the back of the restaurant and forgot about all the customers. The cook told the bartender to draw up the bill, despite us already having the bill in hand. Strange. I'm sure that it was all because the restaurant just opened and no matter what it will do well because N. Broadway is a food wasteland.
Enrique Sanchez
Great food 😍😍😍😍😍
Great white sangria
No food picture i ate rigth away maybe next time …
Julie Vita
A wonderful, urban restaurant that serves old world favorites with a modern flair. Under the guidance of Christian Petroni, Food Network star, this place is first rate but with reasonable prices. Courteous staff, excellent services and excellent drinks. Ample parking. Not to be missed!
Debbie Mahony
The wait staff is amazing -- attentive, friendly and accommodating. We made a reservation online and were seated promptly (no wait). The food is delicious. Loved the atmosphere and look forward to going back.
Byron Cheung
Good food and great atmosphere, a lot of families from the town come here so the whole vibe is very kids friendly too. Only thing that I think they should improve is the speed of the kitchen / bar, the wait for food / drink sometimes is on the long side.
Kelley Smith
I had the "giant chicken parm nugget," my guest had a pizza and we shared a meatball app which we'd been told they were known for.
Upon coming into the restaurant they tried seating us near the door, but being winter we asked for a table further away and they said sorry, since we're only 2 people, that was all they had but looking around at lunch time there was plenty of other seats further away from the doors. Keep in mind, there is NO insulation in this place, it's like a giant garage. We chose to sit at the bar instead and then as it got busier, they started seating people where we asked to sit initially!
Our meatballs were good, loved the authentic sauce!
We waited awhile for our entrees. My guest said he liked the pizza but was left still hungry. I thought the parm was okay but honestly overrated. When I eat chicken parm I want CHICKEN. This was worse texture than McDonald's. It was literally like eating chicken that had been chewed and then mushed together into a patty, not what you want when going for chicken parm.
Because our food took so long, the bar tender did comp our app which was nice, without us even complaining which I thought was great initiative on their part, realizing service was slow and addressing it head in before we had the chance to.
E M
The food is delicious and the staff is helpful and polite. The reason for the 4 is portions are smaller than we expected. It did help though and smart on them cause we has room for dessert which was also delicious.
Leo Abbattista
Great meal with even better service! Loved talking with Ben and appreciated all the hospitality. Try the chicken parm!
Derrick Lawless
Listen...pasta, butter, Parmesan cheese, and truffles is love at first sight and a boyfriend could never okay? The pastina was so flavorful and so filling. The staff was friendly and very respectful of myself and my teacher being on our lunch break and having to get back by a certain time. I will definitely be back.
Lance Faltinsky
Excellent food, great atmosphere, and super friendly staff. Prices are not too unreasonable.
Hope Mcdonaugh
Could not recommend this place enough. The atmosphere was great from the moment we walked in, the food was amazing, but what impressed me the most was the staff. The place was packed, and the awesome staff took it in stride. Amanda, the bartender, was super attentive and made sure we had a great first experience there.
Doug Reside
Luigi Blanco pizza is great. Space is nice. Only 1 beer on tap. Service can be poor (but it's relatively new so they still may be training staff).
Erica “LifeStyledbyErica” W
The decor is very "midconstruction" with plywood for benches and exposed vents and sheet rock. The wait staff are super casual and wear hats, hoodies and overalls. That would be ok if they didn't have high end menu prices. If I am paying 20+ for a personal pizza then I expect a neater more conservatively dressed wait staff. The mushroom pizza is delicious and definitely try their arugula salad.
Mark Dodge
I had the chicken parm, no longer a cutlet, it's now a full halfed chicken breast, marinara sauce was excellent, and the happy hour pilot was tasty.
Joni Campbell
It would be 5…. But where did the Chicken Cutlet Parm go?? The giant nugget???? Came tonight with friends & its not on menu anymore! Texted my DIL in Florida & she was like WTH…missing our favorite dish :(
Ramsey Curtis
For appetizers, we tried the fried mozzarella and and garlic bread, both of which were delicious! I had the grapefruit mocktail which I really enjoyed as well. I ordered the whole wheat cavatelli which was a delicious blend of perfectly cooked pasta, sausage, and a flavorful sauce. The tartufo was an awesome choice was an awesome choice for dessert - a huge scoop of ice cream dipped in chocolate served with whipped cream..

Very nice ambience. Friendly and attentive staff, although a little difficult to decipher who works there because everyone is dressed casual. Good food. A little on the pricey side, but you're paying for the ambience as well.
Monique Little
Attached a holiday gathering. Love this place!
Bhavin Patel
Some of the best service we have ever had, anywhere. Great food, atmosphere and music. Excellent pizza, and yes, the meatballs are really that good.
Gabe Feliz
Service was fast. Because of covid they have these automated menus on the table. You take out your phone scan the barcode on the table and menu shows up. It takes away from the intimacy of the restaurant and it's clients.
Mark Zubatov
Food delicious, service is good.
Ann Serrano
Good pizza. Specials and excellent service
Nicholas Alexander
Cool atmosphere and good food. Will definitely come here again.
Theresa James
Went for an early dinner. Food was excellent. Service was great. Prices were very reasonable. Definitely go there again.
Brian Caine
Great experience. I thought the place had a really good atmosphere. Very large inside and open. Everything was clean even the bathrooms!.
Kevin Albanese
Food was good, atmosphere is nice. Service was a little on the slow side but the negative part was the table aligned with the door - it was terrible each time someone came in.
Junior Mereau
The pizza was excellent, I enjoyed the ambiance of this location. My only gripe was that the drinks were extremely watered down. I will definitely come back at the very least for the food.
Luis Valentin
The food was excellent 👌 I can't wait to go there again so I can try other things 😊.
Tina Marie
I usually go to Fortina Armonk, but we have a business in Yonkers, love to shop & eat local plus I'm a Fortina fan... I actually popped in super fast to get a gift card for someone which was during lunch time and they were very helpful and fast with everything. Booking our holiday party there and can't wait.
Jessica Garcia
The simple fact of the manager coming over, introducing herself (Vinny) and giving a conversation with us was great customer service! Great food and love music tonight!
JT D
Food was okay. Service was terrible.
Harry Otto
Absolutely a “little piece of Brooklyn” in the good ole” “Y-O”. Besides the “best eclectic atmosphere in town” it’s by far the most “kick ass venue” to host anything from a wedding to a kid’s first birthday party complete with kids “pizza making party” led by a Christian’s personally trained pizza masters. When Google allows more than 5 stars, I’ll revisit this review LOL...
Michael Foley
Outside dining was all dedicated to one party so we couldn't sit out there, inside was ok, clear partitions. Food was excellent.
Jim Blinn
While the concept and location of the restaurant are well conceived the execution is not at the same level. The service was spotty with our wine beverages coming after the entree.

Food and service are both exceptional in a casual and friendly atmosphere. In an over 100 year old building. If they had a Happy Hour, this could be a place to go to after work on a Friday or other day. Andrea and I split the bibb lettuce salad and the tenderoni pizza. For the tenderoni pizza(tomato, spicy sopressata, mozz, chili oil, honey) we requested the chili oil and honey on the side as I am not a fan of overly spicy food which they did. The salad and pizza were both a little pricey but good. If there was more pizza, it would have justified the price. For dessert, indulge in the brown butter bread pudding. It's a wow!

Good food and happy hours

Fortina was a random Yelp find one night when staying at the Marriott across the street, another random "what's Yonkers?" trial one night. Fortina and Yonkers are now one of my favorite combos. Incredible building, and more so, not only do you get to admire the sights, but the food, drink, cocktails, dessert, service, and everything in between are on point. Now take friends here too, start with a Bada Bing (name says it all), salad, meatballs, pizza, chicken, or anything in between. Something for everyone, and never a bad bite. Sit right at the bar, admire the views, the fast service, and comfy bar stools--live time, great space, and instant service. Check out Fortina anytime in the area!

Trendy 'old factory' look decor. The music was rather loud the night we were there, which made conversation challenging. The food was good, though somewhat overpriced for the quality.

I went there. Best food I have ever I ate I hate Brussels sprouts but they made me eat them best thing I have ever had would always recommend and might just want to live with all their glorious food a must go

It was such a gd Place to eat! The food was delicious & warm. I will let my other friends know how great it was! Loved my meal!

A much needed addition to Yonkers culinary scene. Not cheap, but delicious, and we are hitting this more and more, and Dom and Vinnies alot less. The baked ziti is delicious and prosciutto pizza is awesome.

Let me start off by saying that if you come to Fortina and you don’t ask for Andy ur doing it all wrong !!! He is the best waiter I have ever had! I been to Fortina so many times and nobody does it like Andy!!
John Fix
We had a brunch at Fortina the day after my daughter's wedding for family and friends that were visiting from out of town. The food was excellent, the wait staff was wonderful and organizing the event was a breeze!

Great place, good food, attentive service, a little dim as for as lighting. Music sports bar at the center of the establishment. Conveniently located right off of Executive Blvd. Plenty of parking too. A must visit if your in the area and want some decent grub.
Joseph Glazer
Chicken parm was a perfectly round formed patty. Not a real chicken breast. Below average bar stock selection. Didn't have the pizza. Could be their saving grace

1st time there the food was
Outstanding. The place was very nice and relaxing. If i lived near that would be my 2 go 2 place

Atmosphere was really loud and service was odd. Entrees came out before the appetizers did. Everyone working there seemed really confused. Food was decent.

I've been here a few times.....and obviously I enjoy their food......but....today ...went to order a pizzeria salad...., no arugula......or pepperoni....two of the ingredients......we were told they were waiting on a delivery.....ok...fine....we ordered the tenderoni pizza...., no pepperoni....,again we were told they were waiting on their delivery.....,ok...fine....we go to order the affogato for dessert....they had no vanilla ice cream......like...., come on....and actually I dont know why I was surprised....the last two times I've been here..., they didn't have the affogato available....and that's my favorite dessert there...so come on...... someone's dropping the ball with the ordering....your supply is not meeting your demand.....and its not the first time I've experienced this.......🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Service was not the same as the other Fortina's unfortunately. Has a lot of potential but the vibe was just off with our server.
