You would think that Fortessa would have perfected the craft of producing high-end kitchenware and tabletop items that are both stylish and practical after 25 years in business. Unfortunately, I have had the complete opposite experience with their goods. I was more upset by their overpriced and subpar plates, cups, and cutlery than a young child who has just realized that Santa Claus isn't real. Spend less and purchase from a business that honors its commitments.
