La Forketta - Pompano Beach (FL)

4 /5 Richard Schagrin: We had theater tickets in Ft Lauderdale and live in West Delray, so I asked my brother who lives in Ft Lauderdale for a recommendation for a restaurant. La Forketta is a small storefront restaurant where you enter thru a separate pizza and sandwich shop who has a different owner. Seats only about 40 people. Very attentive wait staff. Nice menu with a large daily special menu. The prices are very reasonable. Since we were eating at 6, we only ordered entrees, my wife chose the Eggplant Parmesan, huge portion with a side of pasta, very good. I opted for the Linguine Seafood with Calamari, shrimps, octopus, garlic, tomato, and parsley. Very good but a little light o0n the seafood. Definitely will return.

5 /5 Matt Haskins: La Forketta in Pompano Beach is the kind of small, cozy Italian spot you dream about finding. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a touch of elegance, it delivers on every level. This isn’t just a restaurant — it feels like stepping into an Italian grandmother’s kitchen, where comfort meets culinary craftsmanship. The carbonara is an absolute standout — rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of dish that brings back memories (or creates new ones), evoking that nostalgic home-cooked flavor with every bite. The meatballs were a hit, especially with the kids, and the chicken parmesan was tender, perfectly breaded, and generously portioned — my spouse couldn’t get enough. La Forketta nails the balance between homestyle comfort and refined presentation. Whether youre a local or just passing through, this place deserves a spot on your must-try list. It’s popular, so reservations are recommended, it’s worth planning ahead.

5 /5 Tiziana: Another one of my favorite places when I lived in Pompano Beach. La Forkettas warm and intimate atmosphere captivated me. Whenever I had the chance, I would stop by or order food for delivery. 10/10. My usual orders were typically pizza, but l also tried their exquisite spaghetti. Service was always friendly. I highly recommend giving them a try!

5 /5 Martin Zidtowecki: Ok.. this is it and this is the place.. we are talking real Italian… everything from the service to the food to dessert is fresh breathtaking and so delicious.. I will be recommending this amazing place to my nephew Josh, who runs JoshEatsFl and who is a food critic in South Florida? I had a lasagna and it was amazing. The bread was so delicious. Everything was perfect, including the cannolis for dessert.

5 /5 R. Henry: My wife and I went here for the first time on Saturday. The food was excellent. I had the lobster Ravioli and my wife had the short rib Ravioli. We also had the calamari and shrimp appetizer. The service was good. We cant wait to come back and try more items on the menu that caught our eye !!
