Established in 1997 by the Forte family, this family-owned business began in Caldwell, New Jersey, with a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients. Today, Forte Ristorante carries that tradition into Hackensack with an elegant, family-friendly setting, a full-service bar, and a polished approach to dining. The menu brings together house-made specialties, fresh seafood, and prime steaks, while Hackensack cocktails offer another reason to settle in at the bar. Private dining, reservations, and ordering make it easy to enjoy our treats in more ways than one. Come see how a longstanding restaurant tradition continues to take shape.
Birthdays, family reunions, and business functions call for food that fits the occasion. Our catering brings Forte's pasta, seafood, steaks, and other menu favorites beyond the dining room, with a team ready to help make planning straightforward and personal.

Forte is a beautiful place to enjoy great food, service & the staff is very professional & accommodating. It's also a great place to have a private event.
The spicy rigatoni with blackened chicken is a must. Best meal they have. Also LOVE the chocolate gelato - almost tasted like a dark chocolate. Atmosphere is great for a date night or fun night out for some drinks.
Came here for the first time and was very impressed. The place is very nice and the food was very good and so was the service. I will definitely be back.
Ordered lunch for the office today and everything was excellent. Octopus and calamari cooked perfectly, even for delivery. Pastrami on rye was delicious as was the chicken parm. Quick delivery too.
We just finished dinner here. Great meal and service. Enjoyed the front patio. Recommend highly
