Donato, Tony, Mario and Lucia
Congratulations to Lucia, Donato (David), Mario and Tony Forte and all the family at Eastbourne, who are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their business in St. Leonards today.
Originally owned and run by their parents, Augusto and Minchetta, it started as Forte’s Ice Cream Parlour in 1965, and ten years ago, the highly successful Fortes Pizzeria was born. With large photos of Mortale on the wall and both Pasta and Pizza Monforte on the menu, it really is a true Italian jewel, and brings a touch of our Italian authenticity to the Sussex seafront.
Customers always leave happy, full and content, not just because they have eaten so incredibly well, but because every lady gets an authentic Italian goodbye kiss … or two! With such exemplary customer care, no wonder the repeat business is so reliable.
