" I recently celebrated my birthday at La Forketta, and it was splendid! The owner greeted us, and the atmosphere was filled with warmth and laughter. I ordered the lobster ravioli special, which was simply divine! The dessert options were delightful as well—the tiramisu is a must-try. The staff made sure our glasses were never empty, and we felt truly taken care of throughout the evening. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try La Forketta after hearing so much buzz! The food did not disappoint—every dish was bursting with authentic Italian flavor. I tried their veal parm, and it was heavenly. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, though I would recommend going early to avoid the crowd. We experienced a little lag in service, but the owner came by to check in on us, which was a nice touch. Definitely a place to revisit for pasta lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Forketta has a lovely charm about it, and the authentic Italian food really shines through in every bite. I particularly enjoyed their orecchiette with broccoli and sausage—so flavorful! The service was generally attentive, though it was slightly slower when the place filled up. The ambiance is cozy and unpretentious—just what you want from a neighborhood spot. I’ll be back for sure, especially for their homemade bread that I can’t get enough of! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for La Forketta based on the rave reviews but left feeling underwhelmed. The food was good, but didn't have the depth of flavor I expected. The service was friendly, but we had to wait quite a while for our food during a busy evening, which detracted from the experience. While the atmosphere was cozy, I think I’d try it again on a weeknight when it’s less crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent experience at La Forketta! The pasta is homemade, and the sauces are crafted with love. You can taste the authenticity in every bite! While the restaurant was quite busy during our visit, the staff worked diligently to keep up with the orders and they were very friendly. The ambiance is perfect for a casual dinner. Highly recommend for Italian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Forketta last weekend and was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. The seafood pasta was brimming with flavor and should be on the must-try list for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian fare. We also indulged in their homemade bread, which was a delightful bonus. The service was attentive, making our experience pleasant overall. I'll be recommending this place to my friends for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Forketta fell a bit short. The food was decent but didn’t quite match the high expectations set by others. I found the pizza to be doughy and undercooked. Service was friendly but somewhat disorganized, which led to a longer wait time for our meals. However, I did enjoy the ambiance—it’s intimate and cozy, making it a lovely place to spend an evening. I might give it another chance on a less busy night. " (*Curated Review*)
