Best Italian Outside of Italy

We've been coming to Sal De Forte's for over 20 years. The Ossobuco is the best I've ever had outside of Italy. The Vizzini family treats every guest like family. This is what authentic Italian dining should be.

Perfect Anniversary Dinner

Perfect for our anniversary dinner. The atmosphere is elegant but comfortable, and the fresh pasta is incredible. We drove from Princeton and it was absolutely worth it. The Frutti Di Mare was outstanding.

Just Like Nonna's Kitchen

As Italian-Americans from Hamilton, we're particular about our Italian food. Sal De Forte's reminds us of Sunday dinners at Nonna's house. Authentic, delicious, and consistent for 39 years. The Sunday Gravy is perfection.

Hidden Gem Near Trenton

Found this place after searching for authentic Italian near Trenton. What a discovery! The Veal Marsala melted in my mouth. Great wine selection too. Will definitely be back.

Our Go-To for Special Occasions

We've celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations here. The staff remembers us and our preferences. The Chicken Parmigiana is my husband's favorite, and I can't resist the Tiramisu.

Worth the Drive from Princeton

My book club meets here monthly. The private dining area is perfect for groups. Everyone raves about the fresh pasta - you can taste the difference. The Fettuccine Alfredo is creamy perfection.

A Local Treasure

I grew up eating at Sal De Forte's and now I bring my own kids. The Lasagna Bolognese recipe hasn't changed in decades - and that's exactly what we want. True Italian tradition.

Catering Made Our Party Perfect

Used their catering for my daughter's graduation party. The food was incredible and the presentation was beautiful. Guests are still talking about the Shrimp Scampi. Highly recommend!
