Our
Growing up, I 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.
