" We had a lovely dinner outdoors under the fairy lights. The ambiance is truly romantic and reminiscent of an Italian piazza. The staff was very pleasant but seemed a bit overwhelmed during our visit. Nevertheless, the food was delightful – I loved the black pepper carbonara! The flavor was rich and comforting. It's a shame they don’t offer dessert, but we took home some pastries from a nearby shop to satisfy our sweet tooth. All in all, a charming experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming dining experience! We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed some fabulous Italian dishes. The staff was super friendly and provided excellent recommendations for our wine pairings with the meal. I had the lasagna, which was wonderfully hearty and comforting. The prices were quite reasonable for the quality. I wish they had a dessert menu, but the overall experience was delightful. I can’t wait to bring my family here next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Forcella was less than ideal. I visited based on high recommendations, but the service was quite off. We were seated after a long wait, and then our server seemed distracted. The burrata appetizer lacked seasoning, and my main dish was cold when it arrived. I understand everyone has an off day, but it was disappointing nonetheless. The setting is cozy, and I saw potential for a great dinner, but the execution lacked the finesse one might expect. " (*Curated Review*)

" Forcella is absolutely delightful! The outdoor courtyard captures a lovely Italian atmosphere. I brought my family here for a special celebration, and we each enjoyed different dishes – from the seafood pasta to the risotto. Each was flavorful and left us wanting more. The staff was very accommodating, and we were completely satisfied with the service. I would suggest making reservations, as the demand is high during dinner hours. One of the best finds in the North End for authentic Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part of our dinner at Forcella was definitely the ambiance, but the food was impressive too! We started with the appetizer platter; the burrata was creamy and fresh. I ordered the black pepper carbonara, and it was fantastic! The service was steady, though we did have to wait a tad longer for our mains. All in all, a great evening that left us satisfied. Looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t believe I stumbled upon this gem! Forcella's courtyard is so charming, it felt like I was dining in Italy. I ordered the swordfish special, and oh-my-gosh was it delicious! Perfectly cooked and seasoned, it melted in my mouth. The service was attentive and friendly, and they have a fantastic wine selection. While they do not have desserts, the lemoncello offered was a nice alternative. A must-visit if you are in the North End! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I booked a table at Forcella and were pleasantly surprised! The pasta dishes were exquisite and truly authentic. The service was knowledgable, helping us select a perfect wine to pair with our meals. We particularly enjoyed the duck breast and risotto. The ambiance was charming, and even felt a bit upscale while maintaining a welcoming vibe. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a wonderful Italian dining experience in the North End!
