I came here on Saturday for a meal with 4 friends in London. I must point out that I never normally give 10's out of 10, but our meal here was perfect in every way!

The food was delicious - I had king prawns (big and juicy) and a pizza benny from the wood-fired pizza oven. We were originally attracted in by the deal that was on offer- two courses plus glass of wine for £16 menu, but I would have paid much more for the standard and taste of food and overall experience.
My friends had the best Risotto ever eat it on London. One of my other friend had Cartucio Fish with vegetables which we all wanted to try it was the most delicious fish I ever tried.

Waiters were really obliging and very entertaining - plus they made a mistake with an order but instead of throwing it away they gave it to us as an extra starter!

Probably a good place for a quiet meal for two during the week, On same night there were a couple of other big groups in at the same time as us which made for a lively atmosphere. Although maybe that was just becasue it was a Saturday.

Overall, I would definitely return here and would especially recommend it if you are celebrating something with a group :)

As usual the service was impeccable and the food was top quality and extremely tasty. This place offers a level of consistency which is hard to find, putting it firmly in my top 3 places to eat in London.
The Restaurant is under a new managment and you can tell what a great job the new people are doing.
I would recommend this italian restaurant to anyone. It really remains me the lovely time I had couple of years ago in Italy.

Really bad experience; the service was terrible, the waiter was rude, we also insisted on the service charge being removed, and the waiter walked off saying 'if you don't like it then get out of here'. When we took it up with the manager and insisted on details to complain further he actually gave us the details of a similarly named restaurant in Angel on a piece of paper - unbelievable! Will never go back. The food was average too.

We were at this restaurant this evening and had a really terrible experience. The waiter was super patronising, from the moment we sat all the way till the end. Making a face at us for grabbing a seat without asking, telling us off for it, refusing to say what soft drinks there were available, saying it was "obvious", and so on, without a single smile throughout. It was so dreadful that it really affected our dining experience, as if serving us was an inconvenience for him.
When the bill arrived, with the service charge included, we asked him to remove it. After a few minutes he plunked the change back at the table, grabbed a menu and told us the manager had said it is not possible to remove the service, with such an attitude, asking us where we were from. We were so shocked we left the place trembling.
Definitely a place we will never step our feet on it again.

Found La Forchetta by accident, but we really enjoyed it! The service was good and the food was extremely tasty.

Will definitely head back to La Forchetta at some point.
