Average and overpriced food. A can of coke cost $5 considering the location. Overall I’ll give it 2.5.

My friend and I had an amazing dinner at La Forchetta tonight. It is our first time there and food was so delicious! We had calamari, burrata salad and freshly made gnocchi with mushrooms paired with good wine👍!! Service was superb!! I would definitely come back to try other dishes!
Had an incredible dinner at La Forchetta! The highlight was definitely the handmade pasta—the scallop linguine was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the pizza twist was a delicious surprise. Beyond the food, the bar program is top-notch. I had a Dry Martini that was clearly made by a professional bartender—perfectly chilled and balanced. Our server, Olivia, was absolutely wonderful; she was attentive, impressive, and made us feel right at home. If you want authentic food and expert cocktails, this is the spot
Always excellent ...they only use fresh high quality ingredients. Authentic Italian cuisine.
Fabulous evening! Service was outstanding, and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the crispy calamari !
The food quality and taste was good. Parking is bad. They allow other customers from other businesses to park at the rear parking lot. There was non when I got there AND only 1 customer in the restaurant. Service was very good. Ambience is good. Food Quantity was a little lacking. Overall, a very good experience.
A real gem...food, service, ambiance..all top notch. Meatballs, burrata salad, spicy Italian pappardelle, and tiramisu. All fantastic! This is one for your “must try” list.

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.
