Why this table fork earns its place
The Virtu range sits in the sweet spot for restaurant flatware: solid enough to feel proper in the hand, distinctive enough to signal care in plating, and practical enough to survive a busy pot wash. Each fork is forged as a single piece of 18/10 stainless steel—the material standard for tableware that withstands both time and temperature. The highly polished finish catches light without looking cheap, and the weight gives it presence on the table.
These aren't featherweight designer pieces and they're not industrial cladding. They're the forks you reach for when you want customers to feel the restaurant's attention in their hands. At 210 mm end-to-end, they sit comfortably on a formal place setting or as a standalone. The 12-pack format suits table-tops of 8–12 covers, or restocking a service station.
Elia has been making cutlery this way since the 1980s—single-piece forging from 18/10, heavily polished, no gimmicks. The Virtu series shows it. Run them through the machine, hand them out, replace the occasional scratched piece, and they'll outlast the venue.
