This was a very pleasant surprise and I mean pleasant. I have only had italian-style pizza once before , this place had the perfect vibe the decorations were really nice I mean the place really made you feel like you were in Italy. The authentic cheese and the way they prepared the pizza gave it a really different tastes really pleasantly surprised. We made it a point to come during the week they had live music . And good cold beer and some wine . It almost seemed like a good place to come on a date but also you can bring friends I mean it would totally accommodate both Styles family-friendly for sure.

We had a fantastic dinner at La Forchetta! Our group of 12 was accommodated wonderfully, and the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and so helpful. The Dolce Vida salad was absolutely amazing, and every dish we ordered was packed with flavor. Both kids and adults loved everything! Although it’s a small spot with limited parking, it’s well worth it. The cozy atmosphere and delicious food make it a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Decadent Italian done right. Superb service, warm atmosphere, and very good food that's properly portioned. Ordered an appetizer, salad, lasagna, and four sangria to share with my partner for about 60 US. Definitely recommended.

What a great little spot close to the hotel. Good pizza, wine, salad and beef tenderloin. Cozy atmosphere with indoor and outside seating. Outstanding wait staff, puts the U.S. to shame.

Balsamic pulpo and pistachio salmon were delectable. Some of the best seafood I’ve ever had

Was planning to eat at other Italian restaurant but was not impressed from outside. Came back to La Forchetta (the fork). Glad I did. Late Wednesday pre evening. Greeted well. Nice ambience. Well lit but cozy. Had a Merlot before dinner and guest a Sangria. Had a San Pellegrino orange flavoured water with my dinner. So good! Lasagna and rib dinner ordered. Delicious. Plenty of bread. Rib was tender. Relax and chat before service. If you're in a hurry this is not your place. Great service and priced well. Cannoli for dessert with coffee. Delicia! Will return again!
