Chef Manrico's passion is inspired by the love for his home region of Pescara, Abruzzo. The flavors, scents and the colors of the neighborhood, ‘Borgo Marino’, is where his inspiration came from. Cooking in the early mornings on the fishing boats, savoring the smell of the land and sea is where it all began. "This is my cuisine, made simply of the scents, freshness of the ingredients, and respect of the tradition. ‘La Forchetta’ will be my platform in which I can share this culinary love, with all of you" Chef Manrico

La Forchetta Burnaby brings you fresh pasta made daily, a variety of fish and meat dishes along with more traditional pizza and region specific Italian favourites.

    Highly recommend this Italian gem in Burnaby. Food and service were outstanding - especially the gnocchi with cream sauce and pancetta pasta. Perfect for romantic date night or a fun evening with girlfriends. Excellent wine selections too! Will definitely be going back.

    Food was good as usual. Service was ok too. I like the fresh pasta. Ingredients are fresh. I'm not sure what was happening in the kitchen last night though. We are a group of 9 and there was only 1 other table that evening. All our entrees came out together but my son's pizza took over an hour which was disappointing because he's the youngest eater and also the most simple dish to serve. My mother in law's steak they apologized that they had to grill it again because it was overcooked the first time so she got her entree after we were almost done eating. At this point she wasn't angry but with the 2 very late entrees on a quiet evening, I felt like they should have at least offered something like even a dessert. I didn't make a huge deal because I like supporting local restaurants in our neighborhood but I think this should be considered in the future.

    Easily, some of the best fresh-made pasta in Vancouver. The service is always outstanding here.

    Food was pretty good. After she took our orders and brought us our food, the waitress did not check on us at all. The restaurant had multiple empty tables and was not busy at all. Had to ask for water refill. The party next to us received lots of attention from wait staff. The service should be much better for the price.

    We went for Valentine’s Day and the restaurant had a set menu with 2 options for the appetizer, and 2 for the entree. We ordered the antipasti, scallops, risotto and lasagna. Service was good. Overall, the food was okay. The menu however, was overpriced. For 4 dishes (antipasti, scallops, risotto, lasagna) and dessert, $75 a person was quite steep. I can’t comment on the quality and value for the regular menu, but the Valentine’s Day menu was not worth the price.

    This was a wonderful find! The service was outstanding. The ambiance and food were so authentic that it was like being back in Italy. I highly recommend this restaurant for a great meal and for a lovely date night, (and cap it off with a very tasty, tawny port)!

    A cozy Italian spot in North Burnaby. Staff are friendly and warm. The space is nicely done and the food was great. Really enjoyed the Bistecca, a 14 oz Rib Eye, perfect medium rare, as ordered. Tagliatelle with Italian sausage was also very tasty. We’ll be back to explore the menu.
