Forketta - Dempsey Hill

Great service, ambience and overall good food. The pizza and calamari was a standout. We ordered a few pastas as (carbonara, slipped lobster ravioli) but it was pretty average. A little on the pricey side but still a lovely experience!

Good Italian restaurant in Dempsey. Food is good and very friendly staff. Some nice vegetarian and vegan options too

Ordered: - salame (circular) and calzone classico (the non-circular pizza) and I preferred the non circular ones as the fillings are more concentrated in the Center, thus having more layers when you bite it as compared to the circular ones. But both crusts have that burn charcoal taste and smell which I was just right to my liking - Tagliatelle with wagyu beef was a no go. I realise that I didn’t like tagliatelle as it’s too flat, thus having no texture. Not sure how to gauge if this is a homemade prata as there was nothing for me to rave about. Sauce was just average tomato sauce which hmm….. ? - Ravioli Slipper Lobster was a much better option as the ravioli is filled with lots of lobster. Taste wise, definitely much better than the tagliatelle wagyu but I believe they are made from the same pasta - Bellini cocktail which was mildly sweet yet very refreshing ??? - Panna cotta pudding which I kind of love it. The pudding has the firmer beancurd texture, with a mild milky flavour (I’m not a big fan of dairy product but this was just right) and the sweetness of the raspberry and blueberries sauce complements the pudding as the pudding was a little bland (yet with the mild milky flavour of course) ??? Service was amazing though, definitely a good place to chitchat with friends over a glass of nice alcohol and dessert ?

Undercooked & distasteful aftertaste of vongle, poor service from manager who refuse to replace another dish & insist we accept it as it is. Vongle tasted like undercooked yellow mee. 1st return: undercooked and staff came back with same dish and just warm with the same dish 2nd return: undercooked and staff came back to explain that’s the way it is 3rd return: slightly better but still undercooked and mild bitter aftertaste still present. I took the time to review here to warn others and read this review to skip the vongle or even skip the restaurant.

Food is great as the environment is. But there is room to improve the service - side dishes arrived before main meat meal, the staff coordinator seemed anxious pressuring the the waiters (our bill arrived before we ordered dessert).

If you are Singlish speaking, Forketta sounds like “Forget 她”? Saw the mixed reviews with rather extreme ratings but decided to give it a try to indulge a little. The high ceiling and the wood fired aroma just makes the place feel so special. I must say the food is good. The La Forketta pizza is something to go for. I have never eaten a pizza with black Angus beef and it feels like eating a cheesy pizza with grilled fatty sliced wagyu. We were recommended the char-grilled lamb cutlets which is the best I have eaten. To end it all, the warm chocolate cake is rich and creamy. The staff is also friendly and attentive. ??

We visited on mother's day 2022. The Lamb was very Good, but the pizza appeared to me as below average. See my photo of pizza.i have tasted real quality Italian Pizza in much lower standard restaurants. The chicken and veg was oiled snd spread on top of the pizza. I would not rate even as 4 star pizza. My honest opinion for a pricy restaurant. I expected much quality genuine Italian pizza. Disappointed on the pizza. The salad was nice and Lamb was very Good. Ambience was Good and clean.

Pretty great food and atmosphere. We went for the Festive Menu and it's pretty delicious with the risotto, octopus and buratta as stand outs. However the server forgot to serve main and instead serve desserts after our appetizers. Overall it's still great!
