Our restaurant was founded in 1970 by Gerry Forte, who wanted to introduce the flavours and ambience of Italian food to Swanage. Gerry's legacy has been taken up by his son, with his wife Anna, continuing this truly family enterprise, together with our loyal staff, many of whom have been with us for a long time.
In Forte family tradition, nothing gives us greater pleasure than welcoming customers, old and new. Our aim is to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, serving simple, tasty dishes with fresh ingredients, which we source locally as far as possible. All are prepared and cooked on the premises. Why not show a special person in your life what they mean to you with the gift of authentic Italian food, with our gift vouchers.

Gerry Forte was born in a tiny village half way up a mountain in Italy -North of Naples and South of Rome! Throughout his childhood he was indulged with the most delicious meals known to man, for his Mother, Adelina, and Aunts, Elena and Irene were exquisite cooks in the old tradition, where attention to the best ingredients and enjoyment in family gatherings were always paramount.
