I took my girlfriend here for a romantic date and I just wanted to say how welcoming and pleasant the whole experience was. I felt like I was the King and she was my Queen in this restaurant. We ordered two drinks which were very tasty, Blueberry Lemonade and a Cranberry mocktail. For appetizers we ordered a batch of pizza twists and a caprese salad. We loved the pizza twists so much we ordered a second batch! The whole time the staff kept checking in on us and asking how we were doing and if we needed anything. My girlfriend and I are strict vegetarians, but we also don't eat eggs, fish or gelatin. The staff was very helpful and accommodating with all of our needs and provided the best service. We knew what we were ordering and if it was made without eggs. We ordered the Capricciosa pizza and requested it be without the ham. The pizza was delicious, as I'm a mushroom and artichoke lover. Thanks La Forchetta staff for making this experience a great one! I'll be sure to recommend this place for others in the future!

Food was top notch. We came as a group of 4 and were offered booth seating at the back vs table seating at the front. Our meal started by ordering a pizza to share. Crust was perfect and toppings loaded nicely.
Our pastas ranged from lamb ragu, crab linguine both in tomato sauces and a cheese and spinach stuffed ravioli in a beautiful creamy truffle sauce.
Desserts were solid as well. The cannoli was the best I've had. Perfectly crispy and lightly dusted with sugar to not too sweet perfection. My companions seemed to enjoy their panna cotta, gelato, and tiramisu as well. Overall a wonderful meal. I want to come back for the gnocchi, and maybe a cocktail as they have a fresh orange presser in the restaurant bar.

Authentic Italian flavours, tiramisu was to die for, pastas were fresh and delicious, flavours were bold but left only a subtle aftertaste (which was amazing), great service, moderately expensive but worth it. Will be back soon. Edit Oct 2025: quality of food has declined while the prices have gone up. $7 for 4 tiny pieces of garlic bread is just ridiculous. Red sauce tasted like it came out of a supermarket jar.

The pasta was the best I’ve ever had, and the tiramisu was unbelievably delicious. The staff were kind and friendly, and the chef even came to our table to check if everything was okay — such a nice touch! We loved the place and will definitely come back

This Italian restaurant in Hastings is a must-visit. It serves authentic Italian cuisine, featuring outstanding pasta and steak. While the bread could be warmer, the drinks are excellent. You absolutely need to try this place!

The pasta sauce is made in-house , and its quality and flavour is extraordinary!
Highly recommend the meatballs. The meatballs were so tender and would be a great supplement to the main course. The desserts do not disappoint. We were pleasantly greeted by both our server and the chef's wife. Will.come again to support this local business in Burnaby's Capitol Hill!

Really delicious flavours and warm and friendly service! The negroni was delicious and a great starter! The pappardelle porcini was outstanding and the osso bucco and risotto was excellent! Love the generous portions and valve. I think it is a hidden gem indeed. Thank you to the chef and team for a lovely evening! I am looking forward to returning and trying the other dishes!

My family has been eating at La Forchetta for over 5 years and it is consistently good. Fresh food, made with the best quality ingredients, silky homemade pasta, and a great wine list. We have tried several other local Italian restaurants but this one is our favourite.

Everything was delicious. The staff was welcoming, accommodating, and provided great suggestions. I'm looking forward to coming back to try other items on the menu. I also like the attention and care that went into the cleanliness of the restaurant.
