About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

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.

Our waiter/bartender was very friendly and took into account the note I left for the reservation regarding making a drink for the birthday girl. She also personalized my drink, was attentive to our table and funny. Everything was delicious, definitely will be coming back.

I’m glad I came across this restaurant! The food was amazing! We went for a birthday dinner and it was perfect. Do not skip on the cannoli or the Panna Cotta! I will come back 100%

We drove from WhiteRock to have this Truly incredible dining experience! If you want AUTHENTIC Italian cuisine and not BP style pasta this is the place!!! Get a babysitter if you have young children and want an adult night out ;) Our server Ananda was super knowledgeable and personable. She made my Girlfriends birthday one to remember!!! GF had the gnocchi which was divine and my Pacherri Pistachio pasta was the BEST cream based one I have ever have had, bar none!!! Incredible food, drinks, service! Support this “mom n pop” Burnaby GEM!!! You won’t be sorry!

Why do they ask on the reservation if it is a special occasion (it was our wedding anniversary) and then do nothing to acknowledge it?!? A simple Happy Anniversary on arrival would have made me happy. Now I don’t think we will be back. In the past 1.5 years we have been 4 times and really liked this place.

Great food with good pacing between meals as we ordered multiple items. Staff was excellent especially with the waitress that took our order with memory alone. Good Pizza, pasta, and service, will be coming back for more.

Found this lil Italian gem on a google search; pleasantly surprised with the food! I highly recommend the pistachio pasta, gnocchi with meat sauce and any of the pizza’s, they will not disappoint. Our server was exceptional; very knowledgeable about the menu, answered all of our questions and most importantly patient with my very hangry husband. Needless to say we were all happy when we left. It was great evening and next time we’re in town we’ll head to La Forchetta.
