Formaggio & Friends

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ Formaggio and Friends is truly a gem in our neighborhood! ✨ The antipasto salad is an absolute standout—fresh، flavorful، and beautifully prepared. I also highly recommend the hummus and the fish dip… simply outstanding. Honestly، everything on the menu is excellent! 🧀🍷 The service goes beyond five stars—welcoming، attentive، and genuinely caring. The owners، Christopher and Gwen، are incredibly lovely and make every visit feel special. 💫 Their curated selection of imported wines is also very impressive and perfectly complements the menu. 🍇🍷 We are so grateful to have such a beautiful and inviting place close to home. Highly recommend! 🙌 Sincerely، André

Christopher and Gwen offer fine dining and fine wine in a relaxed atmosphere. "Take Flight Thursdays" offer insights into wines from different regions for a modest fee. "Saturday Sips" are a great way to get introduced to Formaggio & Friends، while enjoying free، small samples of the wines they offer. Periodic "Wine Maker Table" dinners are an outstanding value، and are extraordinary events. Seating is limited، and the cuisine and wines are on par with any high-end restaurant in Central Florida، including Celebrity Chefs -- yes! That good! Christopher is a consummate host who wants everyone to feel welcome and comfortable. We've met so many great folks at Formaggio & Friends، we really feel the emphasis is on the friends! The quarterly "World Traveler" Wine membership is a hidden value - with 5 wines each quarter، for a set price، including 1 meat and 1 cheese for pairing. The selections are well thought out and very informational. We had Spanish wines the 1st quarter this year and gained a new appreciation for the wines of Spain. These were followed by the wines of war in the 2nd quarter، which featured wineries and wines impacted by international conflicts... amazing! This quarter، it's the rare grapes of Italy، which we are very much looking forward to trying. For greater appeal، Christopher chose wines of light-to-medium body. Gwen's cheese selection was an incredible cow's milk cheese that we couldn't wait to dig into. It was absolutely delicious.

Gwen and Chris have a wonderful concept and always welcome you like family. Chris listens to your preferences، then delivers a delicious glass of wine to enjoy، and is always introducing new and different blends to try. The cheese selection is fun and eclectic. From smooth and creamy to pungent and savory. With a variety of toppings be it a drizzle of honey and a slice of strawberry to a flavorful olive slice. If you haven't visited them yet you are missing out.

Lovely vibe، yummy food، GREAT wines! Chris went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The wine selection is wide and well thought out، with help available to those who aren’t familiar. You can tell this is a loved community spot، definitely stop by for a sip and snack!

Nothing short of amazing. This place، this couple، this community they are creating، and the loyal patrons all gently flowing through this quaint and cozy location. The place was just outstanding! We spent considerable time there، and witnessed groups and individuals all known by name by the owners. Being brand new، they took the time to find our interests، and used that to broaden our horizons - introducing some really exceptional options. What a great way to spend some time.
