Located between Phinney Ridge and Greenwood, FORTUNA is a neat little neighborhood sandwich shop serving Italian sandwiches. From the moment you walk in, the staff is very welcoming. The back of house was clearly comfortable with each other and asked around to give us their consensus opinion on the best sandwich to order when we asked for recommendations. The menu is small and the sandwiches are all served with the same bread. There really didn't seem like any wrong nor outstanding options. I ended up going for the caprese and my friend ordered the bottega sandwich. Without any hot components, the sandwiches are ready fairly quickly when there is no line. Mine was out within 15 seconds of paying. Inside the restaurant, seating is limited. A few high chairs good for individual seating but definitely not built for groups. Outside, there are a few larger tables with benches. For the Summer and early Fall, it is perfect. A nice place to people watch and enjoy the last of the sunny days in Seattle, but as we head into Winter and late Fall, I expect it to be slightly less comfortable. The sandwiches were very tasty. There is a clear focus on high quality ingredients, and in a caprese sandwich there is nowhere to hide. I was surprised by how good the tomato was! It had a firm bite while still having some juiciness and nice prominent flavor that was not outshone by the balsamic. The pesto was a nice addition with the basil being a little less strong than I expected, with a creamy and soft stracciatella cheese bringing it all together. The real strength of FORTUNA is the bread. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, being able to hold the sandwich together nicely despite the balsamic and stracciatella, remaining crunchy yet easy to chew and fluffy on the inside. They use the same bread for all of their sandwiches guaranteeing a yummy snack no matter what. The main issue I have with this restaurant is the value. Although the food is great and clearly a lot of care goes into their craft, it really does just feel like a snack. And aside from the caprese, the price of the sandwiches range from 18 to 21 dollars before tax and tip. I mind this less knowing that they use high quality ingredients and are a locally ran business, but this would not be my first choice for sandwiches keeping this in mind. Overall, FORTUNA is a great choice for a quick bite to go or a quick lunch on a weekday. I would still recommend trying a sandwich here but expect a bit of a more expensive bite going into it.
