Fortunato - Roanoke

Great ambiance, we got the branzino and a side of potato wedges cooked in duck fat. The food was great, our server was friendly and the place had a nice rustic vibe to it. Great for a dinner date!

The calamari and house bread were delish to start, as well as a very nice Spritz. The duck ragu and gemelli were out of this world resembling almost a short rib in flavor. There are not enough stars for that dish, the calamari and the house bread. Great wine selection and music. We loved our server. Very sweet. I was born and raised in Roanoke but moved away for 30 years. I am used to Denver, Charlotte and St. Pete. This restaurant is top notch and definitely a keeper

First off, get the bread with ricotta then figure out what you want to order because the bread is legitimately amazing. Also get the Brussel Sprouts and dont let the anchovy part scare you. They were so good! The pizza was also very good and honestly the only thing we got that wasn 't bomb was the fingerling potatoes. They were fine but I wouldn 't recommend. My group had multiple trays of oysters and everyone really enjoyed them. We sat at the bar due to not having

Many gluten free options available. Food was phenomenal; defintiely try the olives and duck raguv???? They also had a great selection of wine and cocktails; it's the first restaurant I have been to that served orange style wines (pictured). Service was amazing, the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about wine. We cannot wait to go back.

Another amazing dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant. Service was fantastic as always, never disappointed when we come here. We walked out with smiles on our faces! Fantastic dinner!
