I enjoyed quite the delicious dinner at this quaint little place. Offering a variety of cuisine from the European continent, but I settled for the Beef Stroganoff Ragu, not served over noodles, but pelmeni stuffed with mushrooms for $9.
Before the stroganoff arrived, the meal started with some moist house Russian bread with a side of extra virgin olive oil and some red spices, mostly made of paprika. The Russina wheat bread was great and eaten with the dressed up olive oil was bliss.
The Stroganoff was quite the treat. First of all, the ragu was very well made. It was thick and rich with a great flavor: a deep rich flavor that took time to develop, and some skill to make. Somebody had a great recipe hidden back there. The pelmeni's mushrooms inside were tender, very well seasoned, and had a great natural flavor. Also, the pelmeni's itself, the shell, had a great chewiness in a very good way. No doubt they were cooked well. I'm telling you, I could of eaten a mountain of these.
I also tried tasters from a Bulgarian Mixed Grill which was quite good. Nataliya, the server was absolutely amazing. She not only was very well verse in Forte's cuisine and its individual preparations, but she reserved extreme patience. She was very prompt and always had a great smile on her face.
