Forte Restaurant

In music Forte means loud or strong and the load at Jamestown's Forte is an equivalent to that description. It offers patrons a dining experience that links itsel directly to the events at Rea Lenna Civic Center. Being next door to the center guests can stop in before or after to enjoy a meal that is representative of the restaurant's name. Forte was originally opened in 2004 by Todd Singleton who owned Liberty Street Cafe in warren, PA. He ran it for two years until Peggy Kaltenmeier and Ian Anderson moved to Jamestown and took ownership of the restaurant in 2006. ‘It was perfect timing," said Kaltenmeier. ‘We were working for Todd and he was busy runnno two other restaurants and just had a baby. Ian is a great chef and I am used to runnng front house so we figured why not take a chance. The business was already established and had a great clientele.‘ Before Kakenmeier became owner the menu would change daily to whatever Todd got in or wanted to make.
