La Forchetta - Burnaby

Yesterday evening with the family there. service and eating was delicious

Eating was long waiting. pizza tasted good, but it is not worth an hour waiting. the service was good.

The atmosphere is beautiful and overall good eating. the mushroom gnocchi was delicious, but the other plates did not blow me out of the water. sometimes I felt the server rushing us. they needed another server in there, as he was busy and I could say he was a bit above his head. I work in the industry, so I notice this thing. he has still done friendly service. I had also put into my reservation notizen and told them about the phone that it was the birthday of my friend, but there was no recognition of it, even a “fortunate birthday”, so this was disappointing. overall we had a good time.

We went here last minute for New Years. The food was outstanding. We will be back for sure.

Came here to celebrate NYE and they had a set menu for 70 bucks. Staff were great but the set menu was underwhelming. The appetiser trio with cold cuts, salmon paste and shrimp salad in a cheese shaped cup would be my least favourite. There was no need for over the top presentation and was clumsy to eat as could not cut through. The shrimp seems like it was dressed in thousand island dressing as it tasted like it even though I heard the waitress mentioned it was made in house. The main pastas was good. The meatloaf with egg was a bit strange and to use felt like we could make this ourselves at home and same with the panettone bread dessert with chocolate drizzle and side of ice cream. Again I could make this at home. We probably won’t be returning
