La Forketta Italian Restaurant

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.

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!

The food was authentic and delicious. The service was not great though especially given how few customers there were.

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.

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!
