Reviews for La Forchetta in Burnaby, BC

My friends and I came here one evening as we had been waiting to try this new spot in the neighbourhood. There is parking in the... back and what appears to be a patio section too (of course, weather pending). I thought it was a smaller restaurant but when youwalk inside there is quite a lot of seating which is nice. There was only one other table inside for dinner time when we wentand two servers. Between the four of us we had ordered meatballs and a pasta each but it left us feeling unsatisfied food wisefor the price point and slightly bothered by the customer service as it seemed like they were adamant to rush us out (we werethere at 6 and nowhere near closing time). The meatballs felt pricey at $18 and nothing overly special. The pastas overall range$18 (cacio e pepe) to $28 (linguini di mare) but felt like a higher price point for no particularly special deliverance. Orderedthe caserecce, papardelle, linguini, and calamarata - we all tried parts of each other’s dishes and still felt soso for ourmeal. The severs kept checking in on us (food is fine but it wasn’t enough to send anything back by any means) but it was tothe point of “can I bring the check” and scoot us out over and over. We had not overstayed our time either (definitelywithin dining time of 1.5 hours and again - not busy). Maybe it was just an off night but it didn’t leave us with a happymemory. Read more

Casual dinner. Rib eye is very nice here with charcoal smell and done perfectly. Bread is too expensive though $4 for 3 pieces... and nothing special. Other dishes are good. We ordered 2 appetizers and 4 main courses plus dessert. Just perfect portion. Read more

a delightful place with one side being cozy and relaxing, and the other side more modern and bright. Manrico is a magnificent... chef, each course was truly delicious. Now I truly understand how good hand-made pasta can be. The tiramisu was light, creamywith a strong coffee flavour that was an excellent finish to a marvelous dinner. Combine this with friendly and veryprofessional wait staff, it made for a memorable anniversary dinner for us. Read more

Start to finish was a unforgettable meal experience. 8 dishes between 2 people at a Italian restaurant and left feeling like we... ate the perfect amount. Waiter is a class act too. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who appreciates food cooked with love Read more

Excellent service, delicious food and perfect atmosphere for dating. If looking for a semi casual dinning restaurant, this is... highly recommended. Their pasta is perfectly cooked and extremely well blended. Read more

First night out in a very long time and it was perfect. The pasta and calamari were excellent, staff were very attentive and we... were able to enjoy a nice relaxed night out. We will be back Read more

The restaurant was really clean, and staff were attentive. We ordered Pappardelle (with sausage) and Linguine di Mare (seafood... pasta). Both were good. Not as spectacular as the pasta at two of our favorite Italian restaurants, so I am only giving it 4stars. But definitely will come back to try out other items on their menu. Read more
