Introducing Forbici Modern Italian in St. Pete
In today’s evolving dining landscape, where guests seek both authenticity and approachability, Forbici Modern Italian has emerged as a standout. Rooted in a genuine culture of hospitality, the concept delivers innovative Italian cuisine paired with exceptional service—striking a balance between tradition and modern sensibility that resonates with a wide range of diners.
Forbici’s menu is a celebration of Italian classics, thoughtfully reimagined for today’s table. House-made pastas, Roman-style pizzas, and seasonally driven dishes form the foundation of the culinary program, all crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The experience is elevated further by a carefully curated cocktail and beverage menu, designed to complement the food while enhancing the social energy of the space. From a casual weeknight dinner to a celebratory gathering, Forbici offers a dining experience that feels both elevated and inviting.
That approach has proven highly successful. The Hyde Park location welcomed more than 300,000 guests in 2024, cementing Forbici’s reputation as a neighborhood favorite and a destination restaurant. Consistent execution, warm service, and a lively yet refined atmosphere have driven strong guest loyalty and repeat visits—key indicators of a concept built to last.
Now, Forbici is poised for its next chapter. In early 2026, the brand will open a new location at St. Petersburg’s Sundial, a newly renovated, high-profile destination that attracts both locals and visitors. Designed with versatility in mind, the space will feature a vibrant bar, a spacious dining room, an outdoor patio, and a private dining room—allowing Forbici to accommodate everything from intimate dinners to larger group gatherings.
Beyond the dining room, Forbici continues to see strong performance in takeout, delivery, and catering, further diversifying revenue streams and meeting guests wherever they choose to dine. This multi-channel success underscores the brand’s operational strength and scalability, without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Strategically positioned within St. Petersburg’s growing dining scene, the Sundial opening places Forbici at the center of a market hungry for high-quality, upscale casual experiences. With a proven track record, a clear vision for growth, and an experienced leadership team behind the brand, Forbici Modern Italian is well-positioned not only to shape memorable dining moments—but to play a defining role in the city’s culinary future.
