Review on Fortessa Bistro Stainless Steel Flatware: 9-Inch Serving Fork For Elegant Dining by Mark Perry

For the money I spent, I’m not excited. These are not bad pieces, but they are inconsistent with quality. From a performance standpoint, they are totally fine. From a value for money, wildly disappointing. I bought these months ago, because I didn’t want to miss out on the pattern. This, has been a mistake. I bought these because a restaurant I enjoy had them and I needed a new set. These are not even close to what was at the restaurant (even though the chef d’cuisine told me the brand and the style). Half of my set doesn’t have the brand stamping. None of them are not fully polished on all sides. For the amount of money I spent, per place setting, I would expect to have a fully polished set. On all sides. If I had it to do over again, I would have invested my money in my old Reed and Barton set. It is too late to return these, as, again, I bought these so I didn’t lose out on a matched set. I will bide my time and make a better decision in the future. Again, they are an okay set of service ware… but they aren’t worth more than $20.00 for a set of 4.
