" Had a family dinner celebration at La Forchetta and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere is family-friendly and the decor is lovely. We ordered a variety of dishes, but I must say the meatballs and pasta were the stars! Generous flavors and decent portion sizes made everyone happy. The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped in. Looking forward to our next family outing here! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant truly stands out for its authenticity! Everything from the appetizers to dessert had such vibrant and genuine flavors. The calamari was tender, and the bruschetta was fresh. Main courses of pappardelle and gnocchi were spectacular. I appreciated the chef coming out to greet us, adding a personal touch. The service was solid throughout, making our experience enjoyable. I can't wait to return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at La Forchetta was delightful! From the antipasto to the dessert, everything was made with care and tasted phenomenal. The seafood pasta was a highlight and had that homemade touch. Service was excellent and we loved the welcoming environment. The only downside was the price, but considering the quality, it was worth it. Can't recommend this place enough for genuine Italian cooking! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Forchetta is a hidden gem in Burnaby! The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing while indulging in some exquisite Italian cuisine. I particularly loved the spaghetti vongole. The clams were fresh and the pasta was cooked beautifully. The service was terrific, very attentive! Prices are on the high side but you do get what you pay for—authentic flavors and quality ingredients. I'm looking forward to coming back to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting La Forchetta was an amazing experience from start to finish! The handmade pasta was indeed one of the highlights—especially the tagliatelle! It was prepared just right, and the sauce was full of flavor. For dessert, we tried the panna cotta and it was heavenly. A bonus was interacting with the chef, who was incredibly friendly and shared some cooking tips! I do wish the wine selection was a little broader, but overall, it was delightful dining. Highly recommend for an authentic Italian meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at La Forchetta. The owner was very welcoming and made us feel like part of the family. Each dish we tried was a showcase of Italian cooking at its finest. The freshness of the ingredients made a notable difference in flavor. While I thought the pasta was fantastic, the portion sizes could have been improved—especially for younger diners. I will certainly return to explore more options from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is now one of my favorite restaurants! The service was personable from the start. Our server listened attentively to our preferences and made excellent recommendations. We went for the burrata appetizer and the pappardelle—it was rich in flavor and perfectly cooked! The dessert was an excellent finish, and we're already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
