FORLINI'S RESTAURANT – Restaurant

A family-run fixture on Clearwater Beach since 1981, Forlini's has been serving Italian fine dining through two generations, the Forlini family having opened Domenic's Capri before folding it into today's restaurant. The kitchen turns out classics like mussels Bianca, calamari fritti, lobster and scallops Sinatra, veal piccata, and duck amaretto, backed by a wine list built over three decades and more than 650 labels. Diners consistently describe the service as attentive and the pasta as a standout, with many return visitors treating it as their go-to for special-occasion Italian on the beach. A romantic, old-school dinner spot that has stayed a neighborhood favorite for over four decades.
