Fortessa Bistro Flatware

The 18/10 designation refers to the composition of the steel—18% chromium and 10% nickel. This is considered the gold standard for flatware because it offers superior rust resistance and a high-luster finish that holds up well over years of daily use.

Like all high-polish, mirrored finishes, this set will show fingerprints and water spots more readily than a brushed or matte finish. To keep them looking pristine, we recommend drying them immediately after washing rather than letting them air dry in the dishwasher.

The Bistro collection is designed to be versatile. While its clean, modern lines are perfect for everyday meals, the high-quality mirrored finish provides enough sophistication to look appropriate on a formal table setting as well.

Fortessa flatware is generally known for having a balanced, substantial weight. These pieces feel sturdy and well-constructed, providing a comfortable grip that feels neither flimsy nor overly heavy.

While the set is dishwasher safe, we recommend avoiding harsh detergents with lemon or citrus additives, as these can sometimes cause pitting or spotting on stainless steel over time. Using a standard, high-quality liquid detergent is best.
