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.

    La Forchetta is a neighborhood gem. We go there for date nights, birthdays, anniversaries, or just any random night. The food and the service is always top notch and we’ve never had a bad experience. The pasta is made fresh daily and you can tell that they only use quality ingredients. I am a little scared to sing their praises in fear the word will get out, but, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you go, you will not be disappointed!!

    Fantastic dinner last night. Our lovely server started us off with some yummy blueberry peach mocktails (that we just had to have at least two of!) then we completely finished our delicious meals. I had the amazing crab linguine and she had the delicious baccala in tomatoes with a green salad. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Will definitely be back💋

    The food, service and table were all excellent. They were able to adjust the meal to meet our dietary restrictions. A nice place to catch up with a couple friends.

    We really enjoyed the food at La Forchetta. They were a bit overwhelmed when we dined on New Year's Eve, but the menu is great and the people are lovely. We will definitely return!

    We, three girlfriends, went there for an early dinner. The service was very attentive, and the homemade ravioli was refreshing and exquisite! I highly recommend it for lovers of authentic Italian home cooking.

    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.
