John Bourassa A nice and cozy little neighborhood Italian bistro in Palm-Aire called La Forketta is a great place to unwind, relax, and indulge in Northern Italian cuisine. It is a husband and wife operation with a few servers (husband is from Northern Italy and is also the cook/chef, so I was told by our server). The service is prompt and attentive, and you can tell that it is frequented by regular locals because they are greeted with hugs and kisses.
They serve all the typical Italian food that you’ll find on every Italian menu everywhere, but very good. On their website, they pride themselves to have the best pizza in Pompano Beach. I have eaten there a few times over the years: twice for pizza lunches and 5-6 times for regular dinner. I humbly disagree about their claim of serving the best pizza in pompano Beach, or even placing among the top best around. Their pizza is only average-good and very skimpy on toppings. However, their non-pizza meals are something that will make you want to go back.
They do not serve their self-proclaimed “best pizza” at dinner on weekends, only for lunch or take-out. Also on weekend nights, they have live entertainment - a young crooner who knows not to compete with the patrons’ conversations. Moderate prices for today’s standard, but portions are small.
I hosted a large group for an event at La Forketta and I was very pleased. The food was incredible, service was excellent and the prices were exceptionally reasonable. With a party of over 30 you would expect to wait hours for the food to arrive yet all 30 were served within 45 minutes of being seated. The food arrived hot and delicious. Of course, the bread is exceptional. It's a small restaurant with loads of atmosphere and friendly smiles. Thanks for a great and enjoyable evening with my 30 friends.
A gem!! Authentic absolutely delicious Italian food, real Italian beer, make sure you take home some baguette bread. The atmosphere and service are wonderful, reasonably priced. The owners are Italian born, they know their trade. A must go!
Food was excellent, a great selection of Italian wines, and impeccable service. I’m so glad we stumbled upon this place. Definitely recommend for a hearty delicious Italian meal!
The food was authentic and delicious. The service was not great though especially given how few customers there were.
Friendly, open til 3 for lunch. Pizza has been eliminated from the menu. I had cod livornese. Delicious. Lunch specials as low as $12.Deserts are not made on property. Cheesecake was good. All in all. Worth while trip. Not expensive. Local place
I dined there often because the food is incredible. The service is absolutely wonderful and the people are lovely. You can't find a better place.
It was my first time there, my friends took me for birthday.. it was so delicious, we had a pizza, I had lasagna, others had soup, calamari, and veal dinners. Service was fast our waitress with kind, helpful and doing it all with a smile. I definitely will go back
Great little Italian restaurant. Staff is always smiling and greets you when you arrive. Dishes are amazing and portions are enough for two if you care to share. Great wine list too!
Excellent! Fresh, made to order & delicious! Staff was very friendly. Found a new Italian spot & will be regulars for sure!
