Osteria Forto is a family-owned Italian restaurant in O’Fallon, MO, offering comforting classics and modern favorites with a focus on bold flavors and thoughtful ingredients.
The Beef Carpacciowas really good with just the right amou of capers and the Forto Salad had a good amount of cheese and onions. A little pricy for the sizes but was delicious.

I had the Tortellini in Brodo. It's basically $23 for 4 square pieces of pasta and a few chopped cremini mushrooms.So not worth it. Also had the salad with kalamata olives and I'm not sure what was wrong with it exactly but had a definite metalic taste and left a "coating" on my tongue.

The Cardinale was delicious and I enjoyed how fresh all of the components tasted. I wish it had a little heat or maybe some grated pecorino on it for more dimension.
The Forto Salad was plentiful and well balanced. The house dressing was ok, I was craving a little more sweetness to balance the saltiness of the olives and artichokes. Overall, I was pleased with my order

Calimari was chewy and not very good. Cardinale pasta had exactly one (1) scallop, and two (2) bite-sized pieces of lobster, but a bunch of shrimp. I don't know how that justifies a $38 pricetag. Tiramisu was mediocre, for tiramisu. Too much espresso in the ladyfingers, and the use of chocolate sauce on top of the already-present cocoa powder overpowered the flavor of the dish and prevented me from actually tasting the mascarpone mixture.

Penne Sorrentina was delicious, had a perfect slight spice to it. Would definitely order again. Panna Cotta was also yummy, but I felt like the presentation was lacking considering the price. Would still order again, still giving 5 stars.
