Rice ball the size of a softball.
Rey S.

We were famished after a long hike so we pulled into the first decently reviewed place we came to, and almost turned back around when we saw the outside, but I'm so glad we didn't! This place is in a strip mall and the menu posted in the window was small and kind of random, but since we were starving we went in anyway. The inside was totally different than what I expected. This is a cute little family owned place with just a few tables, very causal, but also very clean and welcoming. Exactly what you'd hope for in an authentic Italian mom and pop stop. Turns out menu outside was just the specials, the full menu is HUGE. They have everything from upscale pasta dishes to sandwiches. I think even the biggest or pickiest groups would find something worth loving here. I was overwhelmed by all the choices but our server was incredibly helpful. She made several great suggestions, and told us details about preparation and serving sizes. We ended up ordering a rice ball and a series sandwich (like a chicken park but in a lighter sauce), both of which were massive and even with two people barely finished them. Both items were delicious, the bread seemed fresh, all warm and crunchy, while the rice ball was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. I can't imagine another time we'll be lost and hungry in this part of the world, but I pinned this little gem of a restaurant on my map so that if I'm passing through again I will remember to stop here!

On this rainy December day, @BigDudesBigFoods stopped for lunch in #WhartonNJ at @LaForchettaNJ We were attracted to the uniquely named delicious sandwiches. I got the #Baciagaloop and Joe got the #GodFather Between the two of us, we covered most of the meats on the Italian cold cuts spectrum. Both perfectly dressed with #FreshMozzarella , sliced tomatoes and #ExtraVirginOliveOil They were fantastic! We chose them over the Pesci, Stallone, Deniro, Pavarotti, Cruise, Michelangelo and Paulie Walnuts. #LaForchetta is a nice, little, NJ Italian restaurant in a Wharton strip mall with a very friendly and helpful crew. Nolberto Mejia and the La Forchetta familia took great care of us!!! It does not disappoint!! It's only been my second time here but I would bet on anything on the menu. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF #LifeIsFood @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday

First time here!

While we're in this "pandemic/no indoor dining" situation, my wife and I have been trying to order from as many local businesses as possible. Last Friday, we got takeout from La Forchetta for the first time. We ordered a large cheese pie, half a dozen garlic knots, and a side Caesar salad. Everything was very good! My only issue was that for a large pie, it was smaller than usual. The side salad was also very small, I should have just ordered a regular salad. The garlic knots were the opposite... they were huge and delicious! Bonus is that I found out that they deliver to my town. I'll keep them in my takeout rotation!

Personal 12" Caprese Pizza. This was UHHMAZING!

I met up with my besties and had the best evening! I started with a passion fruit speciality…read morecocktail and enjoyed the free chips and salsa. There is a full bar which is huge and can make any drink you wish. They have some excellent specialty cocktails. We ordered the guacamole and chips before ordering delicious entrees. We also got the corn and split it so we had room for dinner. I had the rib eye special with a chimichurri sauce, spinach mashed potatoes, and veggies. The steak was perfectly medium rare and the sauce was perfection. I never had spinach mash before but felt good about getting some extra iron in my carbs. I didn't love the zucchini, (weird taste) but the other veggies were fine. My friend picked the burger and fries to satisfy their beef craving. The fries were crispy and perfect while my friend said her burger was excellent. Other friend went for the salmon and veggies, she enjoyed it and had to bring some home because it was a big serving. Last friend got the chicken rice bowl special and opted for grilled chicken instead of fried. They were super accommodating about making changes so we had exactly what we wanted. Again, big portion so she is excited to have lunch tomorrow. The music is very lively and the service is excellent. Be sure to stop in but do make reservations. We decided to grab dessert and had the lemon raspberry cake plus some of the homemade sorbet. One cappuccino and a cup of tea made us all happy and we enjoyed a nice leisurely meal. My friends had not been here before and we all plan on coming back soon. There was valet parking, so be aware and bring some cash for tips if you are so inclined.

5 Star for the Food 1 star for the service…read more I work across the street which is a 10 minute walk from our office. Arrive a 12:30pm. This is prime lunch time. This place is not prepared for more then 2 tables. took 30 minutes to get our drinks, 45 minutes to get our food. Hamburgers and Tacos. not a complicated order. 45 minutes to wait for food and they got my order wrong. I ordered Fish Tacos, saw the waitress (bar tender) write it down. Not sure how it translated to a salad??? So had to send it back and wait 20 more minutes to get my "Fish Tacos" (came out as "Shrimp Tacos"). Had to get it to go since it was over and hour and we had to get back to work. Party of 5, and I had to watch everyone eat and then I had to carry my lunch in a to go bag and eat it when I got back to the office. I kow there is good reviews listed but that must obviously be when the are fully staffed at night. Their staff today 6/16/2026. One server, Bartender, and chef. That is very poor management. multiple parties walked in while we were sitting and watch them take 15 to 20 minutes to be seated. This was the 3rd time we tried this place for lunch and it always takes 30 to 45 minutes to get food. Will be the last and we always tell our Corporate coworkers to NOT go there becuse it take way to long. You can go to Reno's right down the street with 10 people and each lunch with in an hour. Sad thing is, like I said, the food is actually pretty good

overall, excellent. first off, George has the best rolls. get a few extra. slice them for…read moresandwiches or grilled cheese or toast. the best, hands down, chicken francese I've ever had, even at high end Italian places. recently they have stepped up their game in the specials and had some amazing specials. the stuffed personal Sicilian pizza with hot honey, amazing. the bread bowls, incredible. anything with their pink vodka with hot honey, it's a sweet surprise you will not regret trying. pizza crust is amazing. he recently changed his sauce recipe and I'm not a fan compared to his older one, but i also prefer consistency. homemade baklava is really good with ample nuts. if they make that orange cake again, best get some! it's rare but different in every good way. add grilled chicken to any salad, the marinade he uses with the flavor from the grill is so good. A few other favorites - penne alla Theodora, Waldorf salad, or a twisted Jack sandwich. A recurring special - crabby sea bass - if I see it on the menu, I make a special trip for it, and any time you see crab cakes- they don't skimp. If one of George's daughters is there to help you, you will be treated well with a warm smile and enthusiasm. Great dining room to rent for small parties and have had them cater a few times - well worth the cost. A gem in Wharton.

This street front restaurant is somewhat deceptive. It looks like an unassuming pizza restaurant…read morebut when you enter you see a very friendly and inviting dining room. Spotless and well laid out. Once you order they bring out the most amazing hot bread, homemade and absolutely delicious. Entree portions were very generous. The Chicken burrata special was delicious with a creamy sauce and balsamic Demi glaze. The gyro platter was perfect and definitely could have fed 2 people. Pricing was on point and the service was excellent. It's worth a trip just for that hot, delicious bread. 5 stars all day.
