This place is a JOKE! List itself as an exclusive Italian dining experience. Took my mother there for mothers day and found it is nothing more than a buffet at the bottom of a double tree hotel. Service from Nikki was good however as you can expect from a hotel buffet style place the food was horrible. Never again!

It appears Chef Luca has left Forcetta. While flavors were good, the preparation was slightly overdone for both lamb chops and brazino.

We chose Forchetta after reading positive reviews but overall we cannot agree. Sorry, Chef. Appetizers (Vongole and Fagottini) were disappointing. Main course (secondi) choices were Braised Short Ribs (very good) and Branzino (fish was good but not the couscous - sauce was unappealing). Castiglioni chianti was very good but that wasn't the label displayed on the menu. Service was very good. Televisions over the bar area didn't seem to fit the décor and took away from the ambiance.

First time there so had checked reviews. Beet salad was a disappointment, basket of stale bread, pasta with seafood was too salty. Grilled octopus was delicious as was the rabbit ragu pasta. The servers were top notch, and the montepulciano was good too.
