La Forketta is an Italian Restaurant owned from Lara and Max, a italian couple from Milan, that arrived here straight from Italy and opened this little italian restaurant. Chef Max, born and raised in Milan, has Calabrian origins on his maternal side and Marche origins on his paternal grandparents. This union allowed him to touch all the flavors of Italy starting from the north (Milan), going to the center (Marche) and arriving at the south (Calabria)
Informal eatery offering traditional Italian fare made with products imported from Italy, plus wine.

La Forketta is a small storefront restaurant where you enter thru a separate pizza and sandwich shop who has a different owner. Seats only about 40 people. Very attentive wait staff. Nice menu with a large daily special menu. The prices are very reasonable.
Since we were eating at 6, we only ordered entrees, my wife chose the Eggplant Parmesan, huge portion with a side of pasta, very good. I opted for the Linguine Seafood with Calamari, shrimps, octopus, garlic, tomato, and parsley. Very good but a little light o0n the seafood.
Definitely will return.
I will be recommending this amazing place to my nephew Josh, who runs JoshEatsFl and who is a food critic in South Florida?
I had a lasagna and it was amazing. The bread was so delicious. Everything was perfect, including the cannolis for dessert.
Thankfully, he asked me to wait and then found me a small side table, encouraging me to stay — and I’m so glad he did. The staff was cordial and attentive, and the owner (I assume) made a point to visit tables, check on guests, and support the team. And of course, the food was delicious — perfectly done pasta
Don’t be deceived by the exterior. And maybe dress a little nicer than jean shorts, Keds, and a T-shirt.
The carbonara is an absolute standout — rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of dish that brings back memories (or creates new ones), evoking that nostalgic home-cooked flavor with every bite. The meatballs were a hit, especially with the kids, and the chicken parmesan was tender, perfectly breaded, and generously portioned — my spouse couldn’t get enough.
La Forketta nails the balance between homestyle comfort and refined presentation. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place deserves a spot on your must-try list. It’s popular, so reservations are recommended, it’s worth planning ahead.
