LA FORKETTA – Restaurant

Small — about forty seats, reached through a separate pizza-and-sandwich counter on South Powerline Road — and entirely serious about what leaves the kitchen. La Forketta builds its dishes from imported Italian products and runs a long daily specials board, with a different Italian region featured week to week. Lobster ravioli, cod livornese and chicken parmigiana are fixtures; tiramisu and strawberry cake close things out. Diners consistently mention attentive service, the reach of that specials list, and prices that feel fair for the cooking. Unassuming from the street, convincing at the table.
