About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Hot spot
  • Great for happy hour
We learned at an early age that sharing meals was our family's language of love.

We gathered frequently around the kitchen or dining room table and everyone was welcome. We discussed the days happenings, recalled joyous occasions, engaged in spirited debates and comforted each other in times of sorrow.

It is in this spirit that we created Forbici, a restaurant where you are at home sharing food, enjoying good company and making memories with family and friends, old and new.

    $19 for Cosmo! Live DJ/Singer music inside & piped outside.LOUD! had to sit outside to talk reasonably. Saturday evening— Large parties & celebrations, kids abound. Hard to get drink at the bar (indoor only). No walk up designated space. Happy Hour daily 3-6! is ONLY : 4 cocktails $9: Aperol Spritz w grapefruit, Espresso Martini, Margarita, Bourbon. 5 Wines <$9. Beers 5 for <$7. Food <$13, pizza $5. Pizza is thick, soft and tasty, but lacks enough meat. Sauce has great flavor. Pasta has half size portions so nice. Wedge salad has half size too. Attractive large patio setting - half in shade , w lots of tables and sofas. Not sure if sofas get service- never saw a server. Tate was an attentive server!

    First time trying this new place for a business dinner for 8. Great booking experience through OpenTable. Everyone's cocktail and food experiences were excellent. Loud atmosphere to talk in, but it was fun! Our server Colton was knowledgeble, polite, and accomodating. We'll be back!

    My second time and it was great. It can be noisy so we asked for a quiet table and they accommodated our request. Great place to hang. Food is great. Energy is upbeat

    Our service was amazing! In terms of food, there were no specials and pasta dishes were very basic and tasted just okay. Dessert was the best part of the meal!Atmosphere was great, we sat in a booth towards the side and loved it. Very spacious and comfortable. They did not have a changing table in the bathrooms for my baby (both men and women) and was very surprised as there were actually a lot of families there.

    First time and absolutely will be going back! Incredible happy hour and menu in general. It was a little loud in the restaurant, I felt like I had to yell across the table but other than that phenomenal experience.

    Forbici is a great welcome to Downtown Saint Petersburg. Our experience was over and above from the time we walked in to the time we walked out. The food and cocktails were great. Extra special was the early pricing. Our server was over the top!

    Food was great. Different size portions was a hit. Excellent wine list. But…Unbelievably loud. And we went on a Wednesday night…
