This restaurant is amazing. We were 11 of us celebrating my birthday. We had a wonderful and attentive waiter, Alex, who took care of us. All our entrées were delicious. Emanuela, the owner, was very gracious and came to our table to make sure that we were all satisfied. My grandson said that was the best pizza he ever had. We will definitely be back. This place definitely makes you feel at home. Angela B. Indian Rocks Beach, Fl. read more

We can't wait for tomorrow night at Forchettas! We have eaten there several times and it gets better every time.... the food, the service, the ambience ....everything!! read more

Terrific food, generous portions excellent service I highly recommend Forchetta Italian eatery

By far the best authentic Italian restaurant in Pinellas. When you go to Forchetta you are going home...they make you feel like family

Absolutely LOVE Forchetta! This restaurant checks every box...delicious, authentic, homemade Italian cuisine. I have been here many times and every dish is fresh, light and full of flavor...amazing veal marsala, piccata, risotto, lobster ravioli and branzino. This is THE restaurant for Italian and the inviting atmosphere and lovely owners have us returning again and again! read more

Service was great to start off the evening and the food was delicious. I had the eggplant and I have to say it was the best I ever had. My friend had the lobster ravioli with shrimp and it was delicious also. Great place. read more

Everything went great! The homemade gnocchi is a very special delight and would suggest getting a dish with that in it. My wife was not as fond as the place as I was. She got the smoked bacon pasta.. I tried it and didn't really feel like I was in Italy. The price is a little over reasonable (considering inflation) so with 2 entrees and 2 drinks, expect to spend around $100. Thanks for reading! read more

Wowwww this hit the spot! Get the Fettuccine dish, it was one of the best pastas I've ever had. Would definitely come back :^]

The food, atmosphere, staff, and service are all amazing! Wait staff attentive, but not intrusive.

Tried the new place and was surprised the food was so good! Pricing was a little high, service could be better, beer was warm and the music was like Italian rap . But still would come back. Pizza good read more

4 couples came in on a Saturday without reservations. They quickly put a table together and service was fast. Salmon was huge and cooked perfectly, the pizzas were thin crust, but loads of cheese and toppings. The best thing was they had gluten free penne and chicken Marsala. Cooked perfectly, Not dry due to lack of flour and the penne seemed homemade (I didn't ask) but I've been GF for years and this was the best pasta I've had. Hope they can do some gluten free bread or pizza in the future! Meanwhile, we will return. read more

This was our first time dining at Forchetta's, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious! The atmosphere was great! It wasn't too loud for my family member with dementia. The owners were great and so were the staff. It's definitely out of our price range for a regular meal out, but it's in the rotation for a nicer meal out next time we have a special occasion!!! read more

Delightful restaurant with great staff! Ambiance was good! Food was amazing!! Try the gnocchi!

The food is excellent. I had lovely filet of red snapper in a wonderfully light white wine sauce, which came with cooked mixed vegetables. The vegetables and fish were cooked perfectly. My husband ordered lasagne which, which was served with a meat sauce. The portions were just right sized. I also ordered a half order of spaghetti pomodoro, mostly to taste their red sauce. Finally we shared a good sized piece of tiramisu. It too was lovely, though not the best I ever had. The ambience was similar to a restaurant in Italy, but noisier. Our waiter was on top of things and deserved a better than average tip. read more

Forchetta Italian Eatery - Homemade bread too! - Italian Near Me - Largo, Florida

First we sat down to a wooooobly table. 3 people tried to fix it. I said it simply needs something under the one leg. They tried to prop it up against a wall. Finally the owner lady came over. Lifted the one end of the table up and against the wall. And walked away. So the table was tilted the entire meal. And that's that best thing I can say about the place. They had good feedback and I was so excited to try it. Most disappointing meal I ever had. Somehow it was so bad it made Olive Garden sound good read more

We had a great time. Food and service was fantastic. This was a great find and we will be back again. Family run. Not real large. Very attentive service. Pat needs to be gluten free and they worked with us to make this a very enjoyable experience. read more

My husband and I made a reservation to eat here on our anniversary the same day. We were vacationing and had to bring our baby with us. They were welcoming, accommodating, and the food, as well as the service, were excellent. Our waiter was very attentive, as well as the other staff, and the ambiance was nice with dim lighting and Italian music. We thoroughly enjoyed ending our anniversary trip with a meal at Forchetta! read more
