La Forketta in Pompano Beach is the kind of small, cozy Italian spot you dream about finding. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a touch of elegance, it delivers on every level. This isnāt just a restaurant ā it feels like stepping into an Italian grandmotherās kitchen, where comfort meets culinary craftsmanship.
The carbonara is an absolute standout ā rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. Itās the kind of dish that brings back memories (or creates new ones), evoking that nostalgic home-cooked flavor with every bite. The meatballs were a hit, especially with the kids, and the chicken parmesan was tender, perfectly breaded, and generously portioned ā my spouse couldnāt get enough.
La Forketta nails the balance between homestyle comfort and refined presentation. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place deserves a spot on your must-try list. Itās popular, so reservations are recommended, itās worth planning ahead.

Another one of my favorite places when I lived in Pompano Beach. La Forketta's warm and intimate atmosphere captivated me. Whenever I had the chance, I would stop by or order food for delivery. 10/10. My usual orders were typically pizza, but l also tried their exquisite spaghetti. Service was always friendly. I highly recommend giving them a try!

The pizza was a disaster. It was burnt and the sauce was cold and the wait was very long. I ordered at 5:30 and I got it until 6:45. It's not worth waiting so long for that specially with the attitude of the pizza maker. Never wasting my time or money again on a pizza there.

These people know how to prepare Italian food! I just found out about them last week, have eaten there twice. I had the bruschetta (the plain/traditional one) and the papardelle with mushrooms. Pasta was cooked al dente - I despise overcooked noodles. Fantastic bread and stellar service.

At a party of six got seated right away waitress was great. Her name was Maria very well done really enjoyed the place will continue to support.
First off, yes I know that is not how you spell fork in Italian but they have used this play on words as a theme in the restaurant. There is an abstract piece of art with FORKS. IF I were they if anyone asks them about the forks I would make up a delicious story for their fans who come here. Ex. Forks used by famous people who ate there or Forks we brought from Italy to start the restaurant or something cute. The food is solid Italian cooking just like MAMA. To us the lasagne really was a winner- NOT HEAVY like a well known frozen variety. The fresh pizza baked in their oven is a must. Maybe order as an appetizer which we did. Three things here still the show: the WAITRESSES are extremely nice, a great bakery for to go as you enter and the prices. Dover sole for under 40 dollars, veal chop for 45 etc. Donāt let the location deceive you. It seems the strip mall is going under renovations. But this little jewel of ITALIAN COOKING shines on its own. GRAZIE MILLE. VIVA ITALIA. VIVA FORKETTA. Omg I just realize I didnāt take a picture of the food. We were very hungry and it arrived hot and enticing.

Service is excellent. Food is just ok, nothing special. The bread timer/buzzer in the bakery kept going off during our entire meal every 15 minutes or so which was quite annoying. Giving 2 stars because we were charged $3 for substituting penne for another pasta. And, we brought in a cake and were charged $5 per person for a ācake cutting chargeā. Both extras just appeared on the bill without an explanation. Very shady! I understand cork fee for bringing in your own wine, but charging to cut a cake is seriously insulting.
There are better places around who are better deserving of my hard-earned money. Wonāt be returning.
