We went with 2 other couples and had a very fine meal. We highly recommend seating in their private patio. The food was of good quality and the waitstaff attentive.

Overall a nice dinner. We started with meatballs and caesar salad as appetizers and then for entrees we had Chicken Parm, the Bolognese and the Puttanesca, which were all good. We had friends visiting from out of town and the experience was solid, but we'd try a new place in the North End next time, as it had a sort of generic feel. It was a nice setting but didn't feel like an authentic experience, more like just another restaurant.

Forcella is one of the best restaurants in the North End. The food is excellent, and the ambience on the back deck is really great.

We waited in the bar for the rest of our party to arrive. Only one type of whiskey from New York. Only one bartender and he was overwhelmed with diners drinks. Server was just so so. Party of 6 so the check included 20% tip. More than he deserved. Food was acceptable to four of us.
Diane
Our server was great and made solid recommendations for us. Organic wine was excellent as was the duck & pork dishes.

Outstanding restaurant with fantastic authentic food and caring friendly service. Drinks especially the Last Chance were on point. We had an issue with getting a dog sitter and they were able to sit us in a beautiful patio area really facilitating us with a smile every step of the way. Can’t say enough good things about the place. Definitely worth a visit.

The best Italian food I have eaten in Boston for sure! Their pesto and red sauce pastas! So many vegetarian food options
Jennifer
Wonderful restaurant with amazing food and perfect service. Our mother became ill during dinner and the staff was incredibly gracious and kind.
Sean
Very quaint place with excellent service and great food. A little crowded and a little noisy but that adds to the ambience.

This was my fourth time dining here. It’s always high quality meal and friendly service. We had arugula salad, pasta with sausage, pork chop and salmon. All delicious!
Great service and great food. Avery did a great job taking care of us and gave us great service

We went to Forcella for dinner on a cool evening. When we walked into the restaurant, the windows were open and it was very cold inside. We had asked if there was anything that could be done and the waitress said that it was really hot in there. Looking around we quickly noticed that most people were wearing their winter jackets still inside. We decided to stay at the restaurant after a little bit of deliberating, hoping that we would warm up. Throughout the evening, we noticed people being asked to sit further and further away from the open window, though even that wasn't helpful since the restaurant is so small. When it comes down to it, I think that the service should be more observant of their guests and realize that everyone was freezing and just because the two servers were warm, no one else was. We also had the strange experience of them, dropping off our bottle of wine and not coming back for about 10 minutes to open it. We had high hopes because we knew the food there was good, but overall being frozen and not able to take our jackets off made the experience not so great. I will not be going back again.

The food was on point! The meatballs melt in your mouth. Portions were good, not too much, not too little. Tasty Italian
Amy
Cacio e Pepe, spaghetti and meatballs, pesto, and espresso martini were delicious. Requested chicken with the pasta dishes and it was served with a fried cutlet. Very tasty but quite heavy. Would love to see grilled protein options. Ambience is typical north end...quaint and a bit dark but could do without the “techno” sounding music. Made it difficult to have much conversation without raising our voices.

My favorite Italian restaurant in North end by far the food the service was just amazing. The food quality and flavor is second to none very intimate family friendly but also a great place to take out a date.
