Forte’s Restaurant on the Square in Crossville, next to the old courthouse, will be changing owners.

Officials released the following statement today (March 27, 2024):

After 20 incredible years of serving our community, it is with mixed emotions that we officially announce the sale of our restaurant.

The relationships we have made with our staff and customers will forever be close to our hearts. We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support over the years. Without you, our restaurant wouldn’t have thrived the way it has.

We were fortunate enough to be able to raise and work with our children within the business. For many years, there were up to nine Forte’s working together and it was a blessing to have a true family business.

While it is hard to say goodbye, we’re excited for the next chapter and confident that the new owners will continue to uphold the same standards of excellence and warmth that you have come to expect from us.

The restaurant will continue to be open during this transition with the same familiar faces. We encourage everyone to welcome the new owners as you did our family.

May God bless you all!

Love,

The Forte Family
