" The experience at Forcella was pleasant overall, though some improvements can be made. The pasta dishes were well-executed, and had a fresh taste, which was a big highlight for me. However, there was a long wait for our food, which took away from our enjoyment. I understand that it was busy, but it seemed a little too long. Would I return? Absolutely, since the flavors were fantastic, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Just hope the service is quicker next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Forcella and it was a mixed experience. The atmosphere was indeed lovely, and the outdoor seating option was a delightful touch. We started with some appetizers – the burrata was decent, but could have used more flavor. For my main, I had the lasagna; it was definitely on the better side but not mind-blowing. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which kind of dampened the evening for us. I would still recommend it for its charm and cozy vibe, but perhaps there are better options in the area for authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down, one of the best meals I’ve ever had! The flavors were brilliant, and each dish felt like it had a story. I ordered the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection and served with an exquisite sweet and savory sauce. Each bite transported me to Italy. The attention to detail in the ingredients truly reflects a passion for authentic cuisine. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall delightful experience. I’ll definitely be returning, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enchanting evening at Forcella last night. The atmosphere was intimate and cozy, perfect for a date night. The menu is small but offers a charming selection of traditional Italian dishes. I opted for the seafood pasta that featured fresh mussels and shrimp - it was delightful! My partner tried the chicken parm which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender within. Although they don’t serve dessert, we enjoyed lemoncello on the house, which was a lovely touch. I would say the prices are perfect for the quality of food offered. Highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Charming, cozy space with great ambiance! The pasta was cooked perfectly, and I especially loved the bolognese. They maintain a consistent level of flavor across their dishes, making it tough to choose just one! The only downside? They should consider adding a dessert option, as it would elevate the entire experience. Overall, a delightful spot to enjoy good Italian food! " (*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!
