Wonderful experience. Miranda was a great server all around and gave impeccable service. Food was delightful and at a reasonable price. 5 stars for food/service and 4 stars for ambiance due to the TV’s that slightly casualize the setting.
Everything was EXCELLENT! The Braised Short Ribs were so tender that I didn't need a knife. The Jalapeno Honey Butter Calamari was so good & melted in your melt. I dipped the bread into that sauce & my heavens, so good! Hubby had the Messy Burger, so juicy & tender. We were too full to have dessert.
Amazing staff and food! The service given was great and felt very genuine, the manager Levi was also great to speak with as a fellow African brother. Will definitely be back soon!
Stopped for dinner after work the atmosphere, just resets your mood and the food is outstanding!! Mitchell was great!! At the beginning the lasagna I thought was the best part of the meal... and then I got the cheesecake ... first bite was just WOW.. will return for sure when I am in town.
I made a last minute reservation while in Charlotte and this restaurant did not disappoint. We ordered the calamari and the faggottini. Both were very good. The bread was delicious too. We also ordered the lasagna, rigatoni with kale and the short ribs. The short ribs were so tender. The meal was good and the staff was very attentive. If you are looking for a good Italian meal that does not break the bank, I would recommend.
Fantastic overall experience! Food was fantastic! My 10yr.old who doesn't like steak. She loved it(tenderloin bites) Service was great( whole staff helped out) Made me, my wife and daughter feel super special. All around great place to have fancy dinner!
Forchetta has a great vibe and amazing Italian food. Chef really knows his stuff, serving up delicious dishes that mix classic and modern flavors. It's a perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a fun night out.
We absolutely loved our experience here. We came during Charlotte Restaurant Week so they had a modified menu but everything was incredible. Upscale casual feel with menu that is so perfectly curated it was really hard to choose. They had altered their music for the local concert that night which I thought was a nice touch for those attending. (When the concert started they switched back to their regular playlist) they validate parking at the Double Tree Hotel, which they are located inside of, so it was very easy to access even in the center of Uptown. Service was attentive and very helpful. Overall fantastic experience.
