    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

    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!

    Norte 175 - Quesadilla

    Norte 175

    4.0(65 reviews)
    0.4 mi

    ***2 1/2 stars***…read more It's rare that I have a mediocre experience where I actually want to go back to the place to give it another shot. I came here yesterday for a post-Odyssey meal with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex around 3:30pm. We found this place by playing one of my favorite games, Yelp Roulette, where you scroll through the nearby activity feed and just pick a place that shows up on there. You can really get burned doing that, or find an interesting spot you wouldn't have otherwise stumbled upon. This one was a little column A, a little column B. The overall space is what Norte 175 really has going for it - it's a really cool building, and they've done some edgy interior decorating. It's super spacious and definitely a place I could see myself coming back for drinks in the future. My chum got a margarita but I'm in training so had to forego - arguably, maybe that was the issue; comparing notes, the drink was probably the best item either of us had, and I didn't get it. And it IS a tequila bar. I did get a diet soda, which had solid carbonation, so there's that at least. Neither of us were insanely hungry (we had a bit of fuel before our three-hour movie screening) so we split three apps - the guac, the chicken quesadilla and the grilled octopus. None of them were particularly noteworthy. Palate preference, but the guac had way too much stuff in it for me; I like a smooth, avocado-forward guac, not obscenely chunky with tons of onions guac. The octopus was not the best - texture is really important with that dish, and this one was way too chewy. The accompanying sauce didn't do enough to negate that for me. And the quesadilla was just okay; a bit bland and could probably use some kind of aioli sauce in it, or perhaps more seasoning overall with the chicken. It was fine and the best of the three, which sadly isn't saying much. We also got the raspberry lemon mousse cake (well, pretty much I did - my chum had literally one bite to be polite). As you can see from the attached, it doesn't look like anything like its stock photo on the menu, which is worth noting - still looks fine but given how different it looks in person, arguably false advertising on some level. If you're thinking about getting it, I'd rely on customer photos versus the menu if the optics are important to you. Tasty but a little too sweet - they doubled down, essentially, on the tartness, which made it a bit overwhelming, but I could easily see a lot of people being into this. The service was just okay. Our waitress did stop by occasionally but just didn't seem to be in a great mood. It honestly felt like a bit of an imposition to ask her for anything. Obviously could have just been having a bad day, but when your primary responsibility is hospitality dot dot dot. She wasn't mean by any stretch but I just wouldn't categorize her as pleasant. Is what it is. This place could really benefit from its location, literally five minutes from the Rockaway Mall - and this isn't an area with an enormous amount of options beyond the chains, so they have a legit opportunity to cash in if they can improve the food options. We'll see what happens in the future with round two.

    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
