Forlini's Restaurant

Great food for the beach. They are a bit local minded to customers, I suggest going at least twice. The owners and bar manger are nice once you get to know them. Had a bit of everything. Meatballs were great.

Food and service was great but the reason for 2 starts is then charging us extra $10 per plate for sharing, even though there is no mention of that on their menu.

I really wanted to love this place. Italian restaurant on the beach - could have been so perfect! The good - the staff were all very kind, welcoming and friendly. We went on Valentine's Day without a reservation and were graciously seated. The atmosphere is lovely and the restaurant is clean. The not so good - the food. I had the penne bolognese and it was in the bottom 25% of all similar dishes I've tried at Italian restaurants (and we visit many since I'm actually Italian). My husband had the Chicken Parmesan and the chicken tasted like it was previously frozen. Sadly, the best part of the meal was the bread and my husband's soda. Lots of potential here, but the food sadly falls very short.

Awesome ambiance, food, and service. We there for a company dinner after meetings all week. Clearwater Beach, FL has a hidden gem Great Italian food with an upscale atmosphere. Must take the time and enjoy the food.

Looks, feels, and tastes like a NY Italian restaurant. While my recollection of what we ate is limited by the passage of time (almost two months ago) I do remember that the 4 of us had several dishes that we all enjoyed.Also, the bar had my favorite brand of flavored vodka; Van Dyke's Espresso.

Cool ambiance and was craving Italian. We got a cool booth by the window, perfect for sunset. It took our server, Bobbi, about 25 minutes until she came over. She didn't apologize or anything. Food was average.

Love Love Love the Management, staff and food! Friendly and accommodating the moment you walk in, as opposed to next door neighboring business... IYKYK. Large delicious portions and made to order. If they dimmed the lights, put some candles on the tables put in some overstuffed booths and reconfigured the sound system, I would have scored it 5 stars. Thanks Forlinis! My new go to place for Italian!

Clearwater local here. Doubled their prices for Valentine's Day with no warning or notice. Scummy thing to do. Food was extremely average as well. Could've made a better meal for myself with $7 at Walmart. Would recommend many other places in Clearwater above Folini's. Definitely won't be eating here again.

Steak was raw, potatoes were hard, cold little home fries. Two little pieces of hard cold broccoli. Dont waste your time or money!!

Great service and fantastic family Italian food! Also several fish related dishes. Plus. Bread/rolls are amazing!
