   We had a great meal! The pasta was incredible! The salad was large enough to share 3-ways!

   Terrible! Ate there last night and food was inedible. Ordered several appetizers and they came out 2 minutes later. This is not an exaggeration! We asked them several times to slow it down and it was obvious they were not happy about it. When our entrees came, both meals were horrible! The lobster risotto was cold lobster mixed into a tomato sauce which looked like mush and tasted even worse. The spaghetti fra diavlo sauce tasted like ragu sprinkled with red pepper flakes. When waitress asked us how our meals were, we were honest with her. She apologized but it’s not her fault the food was bad. She brought our check and said she took both meals off the bill. This wasn’t our intention by being honest. We eat out frequently and this was one of the worst meals we have ever had. Despite the food being bad, we didn’t want the food taken off the bill. We tried to hand it back to her to put both meals back on, she basically threw it back down on the table in disgust and walked away. We did tip on what the full amount of the bill should have been. The couple sitting next to us were just as unhappy with their meals and experience as well. They returned their appetizer a minute after it came for tasting horrible and were disgusted when the waitress dropped off the check when they still had half a bottle of wine left without being asked if they wanted anything else. If you are looking for a great dining experience in the North End, I would highly recommend going somewhere else.

   This was our first visit to Forcella and it will not be our last! My wife and I arrived a bit early and were promptly seated. A smaller establishment with a cool vibe and wonderful staff. Our server (can't remember her name) was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The pacing of the meal with exactly to our liking, relaxed with time between courses. We started with an Arugula Salad that included Grana, Shaved Fennel, Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Lemon Vinaigrette, Toasted Pistachio. One of the best we have had and shout out to the toasted pistachio. For entrees, my wife had the Pappardelle alla Bolognese which she enjoyed very much while I ordered the Pan Roasted Duck Breast. This was prepared with braised fennel, parsnip puree, roasted mushrooms, Calabrian chili oil, and orange gremolata. This duck was as good as it gets. If you haven't tried/found Forcella, I suggest you give it a try. You will be so happy you did!

    Had another fantastic dinner at Forcella this week! We were warmly greeted at the door, enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at their bar, had terrific service, and continue to enjoy the ambience visit after visit. The only difficulty was choosing which pasta to enjoy from the many options available! We decided to share the arugula salad and the Salumi e Formaggi for starters, a mid-course of the Cacio e Pepe and the Rigatoni alla Barese, followed by the Ribeye and Bone-in Pork Chop. We loved every bite! This is our go to place in the North End - it never disappoints (unlike some of the mediocrity experienced elsewhere). We highly recommend!!
