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.

This is our new favourite Italian restaurant in North Burnaby. The food was delicious, and truly traditional with its flavours and taste. The service was good, but a little overbearing honestly. I understand our servers wanted to treat us politely and welcome us, but the one lady introduced herself and the other server three times to us. We just wanted to chat amongst ourselves because it had been months since we've seen each other, but the constant "checking in" seemed overbearing at times. We will be back nonetheless because the food was excellent!

The taste was good and met our expectations. We all had a good time. The appetizer sizes were slightly smaller than average.

It’s our first time there and it won’t be our last. We had a very enjoyable lunch. Our service was top-notch, he was very kind and the chef came out to say hello.

Ordered the pasta special and was surprised how bland it was. One of the reasons we chose La Forchetta is that the pasta is supposed to be made in-house. The spaghetti we were served tasted like it came from a box.

Sauce were great had some past and some calamari and teh sauce for both were great. Calamari sauce maybe some of the best I have ever had. Unfortunately the calamari was quite rubbery (overcooked) Had the Pasta with Crab, would have prefered chunks of crab rather than shredded crab, tasted a bit like a soup rather than pasta.
