   This is a Holiday Inn hotel ‘restaurant’. I wouldn’t even call it a restaurant for dining. We had breakfast and it was poor quality and overpriced without any ambiance as it alludes to. Food was barely edible. We like to go out after church for brunch and Forchetta was no where near standards as advertised. Menu has poor selection and quite limited. I would not recommend this for breakfast whatsoever and would not recommend for any other meal either based on breakfast standards. We will not be returning ever!

   We went for breakfast. This is just the breakfast buffet for the holiday inn hotel. The food wasn't too bad considering (my husband didn't like his special, but the actual buffet was ok, the kids ate free and they very kindly did a couple of pancakes and waffles for them even though that wasn't technically part of the buffet). But the whole experience was a bit strange. All the doors were locked despite signs suggesting otherwise, we eventually got in through the main hotel lobby. And at one point I went to the restroom and the restaurant door was locked when I tried to get back in.

   Found this hidden gem during Queens Feast! Will all be going back! From the moment we entered it was a special experience. Began with a friendly greeting from Sam, then taken care of by our pleasant and fun Server, Mitchell as well as others that were attentive to the diners. The evening included an opportunity to meet and chat with Chef Luca. Fabulous ! You can tell there is a passion for providing great food, great service and a good dining experience. We were a party of 6 and everyone enjoyed the night. Forchetta exemplifies what going out for a good meal should be!

   The appetizers were the best part of the meal. The Fagottini was incredible and the Calamari was also delicious. For the entree my husband got the Braised short ribs. The meat was cooked perfectly but it was sitting in a pool of honey mashed sweet potatoes which was overpowering in flavor. I got the Trout which was good, but I wish it had come with a slice of lemon to give it a bit more flavor. For dessert we got the Cookies & Cream cake and the Bread Pudding. I thought the bread pudding was delicious - very moist and I loved the caramel drizzle on top. The Cookies & Cream cake was just a piece of chocolate cake without much else to it. My husband's comment was that it was "missing the cream part of the Cookies & Cream." Atmosphere in the restaurant was great for a romantic evening out and the waiters and staff were very friendly and attentive.

    We went to Forchetta for restaurant week in Charlotte. The service was great, everyone was very friendly and attentive. The appetizers were amazing! I had grilled octopus that was so tasty. The main course just fell a bit short. Trout was over sauced and pasta dishes tasted oddly similar to Chef Boyardee.

    Great place to be for an early New Years Eve meal before going to the Blumenthal. Had the squid ink pappardelle pasta - so much lobster and shrimp that I couldn't finish it. Arturo, our server, was exceptional.

    Enjoyed the meal overall, the entrees were better than the calamari we had for the app. Really enjoyed the Branzino and lasagna. The restaurant is beautiful and while a little close was still comfortable. Chin our waiter was the right level of attentive for us and provided recommendations. We sat in the back near the kitchen pass which was cool to see all the food as it came out and surprisingly while active it was not a distraction. The one concern was each time the front door opened it let very cold air in and we could feel it where we were. Overall, we would go back and try more.

    forchettaResponded on December 20, 2022Thank you for choosing Forchetta! We're glad to know that you had a good time with us. We'll make sure your waiter knows about your kind words and we look forward to seeing you all again in the future! Happy Holidays!

    Mediocre food. Good service. The chef apparently won Chopped, but the Branzino and the pasta were under flavored. The dessert, a cannoli cheesecake was overly dense.

    Excellent service and food that is presented beautifully and very tasty. We had the eggplant app that was delicious and the lasagna and fish , both excellent and well priced. Our waiter was happy to let us enjoy our wine and made our time there great by not rushing the courses . Truly an Italian spirit. We will go back!

    Don't be concerned that this restaurant is attached to a Holiday Inn. This is a great little Uptown spot, with Chopped winner Chef Luca at the helm. Great place for pre-theatre dinner, just a block away from the Blumenthal Center. Our server was doing double duty as the hostess, but was attentive and courteous. The food was excellent, and a fairly good value for Uptown dining. Overall, Forchetta is a fine choice for any occasion.

    We were pretty disappointed when we walked into this restaurant from the street and realized it was a Holiday Inn restaurant. It felt like you were in a hotel lobby restaurant and the food seemed like it as well. As we were eating, hotel guests were coming down for their buffet breakfasts and it was a very weird environment. The service was very slow, even though the restaurant was pretty empty. There were no breakfast/brunch drinks or specials, other than what you would expect when you get a hotel continental breakfast. The food itself was okay, but I definitely would not go back.

    Outstanding food and great service! We had a party of three and each person got a different dish and they were all delicious! We recommend the Fagottini, the Rigatoni and the Branzino ( that day they were out of the usual fish for this dish and replaced it with sea bass, which was just perfect with it!). Aperol Spritz Veneziano was also a great cocktail addition to our dinner!
