   Had another fantastic dinner at Forcella this week! We were warmly greeted at the door, enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at their bar, had terrific service, and continue to enjoy the ambience visit after visit. The only difficulty was choosing which pasta to enjoy from the many options available! We decided to share the arugula salad and the Salumi e Formaggi for starters, a mid-course of the Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni alla Barese, followed by the Ribeye and Bone-in Pork Chop. We loved every bite! This is our go to place in the North End - it never disappoints (unlike some of the mediocrity experienced elsewhere). We highly recommend!!

   We had such a wonderful experience at Forchella! Having dined at many restaurants in the North End, we've never had such an intimate and perfect evening. From the moment we arrived, we were seated immediately, and our server greeted us right away. She was incredibly welcoming and took the time to guide us through the menu, even sharing some of her personal favorites. We decided to take her recommendations, and we are so glad we did! We started with the mussels and Gnocchi al Coniglio. Both were absolutely delicious, with the freshest ingredients. The mussels were served piping hot, and my husband can’t stop talking about the gnocchi with braised rabbit—it was a standout dish for sure! For our mains, we had the salmon and the ribeye. Every component on the plate was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was simply outstanding—A++++! We can’t wait to return!

   I had the arugula salad to start it was good mixed well with dressing .I had the pesto pasta for dinner which was also good pasta la dente and pesto sauce seemed homemade. My kids got The meatballs they claimed were the Best But they were really bad . Watery and burnt on outside. I feel like they were frozen and just reheated that day . Lacked flavor and not good . Everything else was good but was really disappointed with meatballs .

   Close to 10 errors. Was a bday dinner - they totally forgot the bday. Raw meatballs. Wrong entree. Etc., lots of other little things done incorrectly. Felt like we were on Pranked. Was a great patience building exercise.

   As soon as we sat down the manager came over to tell us there was another table in 90 minutes and they would kick us out if we took too long to eat. We were celebrating and this was completely rude.

   Everything was fabulous! Food was absolutely delicious. The best duck we have ever eaten. The chef even came out to see us and thank us for the compliment. Our waitress was lovely too. A superb find. Will definitely return when in Boston again

    Lovely, charming place with excellent food. The pastas were perfectly executed. Service is attentive and professional but not obtrusive. The only minor quibble was was the music cranked up - totally unnecessary since the small room gets lively from conversation. All in all would recommend.
