    With a reservation we were a bit early arriving for, we waited 45 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Then the staff took our order and delivered our salads 2 minutes before our entrees. Timing needs improvement. That said the food was great.

    Everything was delicious. Stared sharing sausage & mussels fra Diablo as an appetizer; with pears, walnuts and Buratta (sp?) cheese. I had Chicken Gorgonzola (to die for) ; my wife had a tasty Veal special with mozzarella and roasted red peppers and Broccoli Rabb. For dessert she had a chocolate mousse cake. I had the house special Gelato Affogato. Both were delicious as well. Nate was our server and was great, responsive but not hovering. Everything was Excellent!

    The ambience was terrific and so was the service. Even the owners were in the thick of things and happy to help out. Food was excellent including dessert. Highly recommend it.

    Returned for our wedding anniversary. They remembered. They keep special occasions on file for their customers, which is so important in today’s competitive climate in the restaurant business. They made us feel at home and the dessert was exquisite. Thank you so much our evening was magnificent.

    Back from New York for the season and this is the first place we go!! Everything was delicious from the bread through our apps to our meals! Gina, our server, was flawless per usual! Let’s not forget the wine….a Brunello (bottle) was recommended to us and it did not disappoint! All I can say it’s good to be back!!

    I had a terrible experience dining at La Forchetta. I had reservations for 6:45pm. I arrived on time and checked in with the hostess. I was told I would be seated in a few minutes. Five and Ten and fifteen minutes passed, and when I asked again the hostess kept saying they would seat me in a minute. They then disappeared. I didn't get seated until a half hour later. The service was also slow and delayed. The food was not as good as it has been either. I would give it an ok rating on the food.
    La Forchetta - Stuart, FLResponded on 23 October 2026
    Terry, we’re sorry Thursday evening was disappointing. As a small restaurant, our reservations depend heavily on normal table rotation. Unfortunately, several earlier parties stayed much longer than anticipated, creating an unexpected delay. We do welcome walk-ins when tables are available and the timing allows, but never intentionally at the expense of a reservation. Once previously seated guests remain longer than expected, our options become very limited. We understand the frustration of waiting and wish we had communicated the delay better. This was an unusually difficult night and not the experience our guests normally receive from us.

    We are really big fans of the restaurant but last night was a fail. We had 6:30 reservations, got seated at 7:15 our wait person showed up at the table at 7:30 and between him and the hostess attitude, look like they couldn't care less. What gave it to Stars was that I heard the hostess tell another couple that they got really busy and seated a lot of walk-ins, effectively pushing the people with reservations out. Why make a reservation if I'm going to have to stand there for 45 minutes? The food was okay which is not normal usually it is outstanding. I had the pre fixed menu and chose the pear app...the pear was not cooked enough and it was difficult to eat. Other than that the food was good but the attitude we were met with kind of soiled the whole experience. All when we were at the restaurant for over 2 hours
    La Forchetta - Stuart, FLResponded on 23 October 2026
    Gina, we’re sorry for the unusually long wait Thursday evening. As a small restaurant with limited tables, we carefully schedule reservations around normal dining times. We also seat walk-ins when a table is available and the timing allows without interfering with upcoming reservations. Unfortunately, several earlier tables stayed much longer than anticipated, creating a backup we couldn’t quickly recover from. The walk-ins were not seated in place of reservations. We also apologize that our overwhelmed staff did not communicate the delay better. This was certainly not a typical evening for us, and we hope your many positive experiences with La Forchetta outweigh this one difficult night.
