Reviews for Formaggio's Bistro & Wine Bar in Gainesville, FL

Atmosphere is nice and the service was decent. I wish they were just a bit more attentive to the surrounding clientele. I had... the fettuccine alfredo for dinner. I found it to be a bit watery and the noodles a tad bit underdone. Other than that it was aadequate experience. My girlfriend had the pasta and marinara. She thought it was a bit watery. Meat balls were great. Read more

I had the best take out order ever!! The eggplant Parmesan was delicious and I love the angel hair pasta they use! The caprice... salad was delicious nice thick slices of fresh mozzarella and tomatoes absolutely delicious and juicy. The citrus crab salad wasso good?and the dressing topped it off perfectly!! I can?t wait to have time to actually go sit down and have a delicious mealthere. As my experience is only a takeout order That was absolutely great! I can only imagine my dining experience being evenbetter. Read more

I ordered the vegetable sandwich and pasta salad. It was delicious. I sat outside on the patio. It was quiet and nice. I would... have liked a bit more vegetables on my sandwich. But overall a good experience. Read more

I can not RAVE enough about how incredibly delicious the food was!! We had the Alfredo, lasagna and meatballs and we already can... not WAIT to go back. Not to mention, the prices were very reasonable and they have a fabulous happy hour. 10/10 recommend!! Read more

There were two waitresses, we had the curvier one, I believe her name was Kamil. She was nice, informative, and very helpful. We... ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was good but the meatballs had no flavor, very unseasoned. Also ordered thelasagna with meatballs. The top layer of cheese was good but everything else was unseasoned and tart. The meatballs were alsonot good. We pretty much left over half of the food there. We read the bad reviews but just wanted to try it for ourselves andyeah it?s not worth it. Left a good tip just because our waitress was really cool. She is the reason we gave two stars insteadof one. Read more

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! Lovely outdoor patio seating area with room to sit inside as well. Family owned and operated... and food that looks straight out of Bon Appetit. The bruschetta appetizer was to die for, and the lunch portion gazpacho andtropical salad I had was out of this world. Tasty wine too! Good prices. Can't wait to go back for dinner sometime.

I had such high hopes, but unfortunately they weren't met. The cheese plate was definitely not worth the cost with cheeses that... tasted and looked like they were straight from Publix. The lasagna just didn't have great depth of flavor and meatballs weredry. The fried ravioli and Grilled Chicken alla Formaggio sandwich weren't anything special either. Service was efficient andfriendly, but I probably won't be coming back. Read more

Stopped by on a hot afternoon with three dogs and sat outside. Our server brought water bowls to all 3 poodles, very generous!... We enjoyed the happy hour half priced house wines and had both the cheese and antipasto plates. Portions were generous! Weenjoyed the quiet atmosphere and delicious bites. Definitely will be back!
