I was in Restaurant "La Forketta" 3 weeks ago for the birthday of my girlfriend, we had a great dinner, all ingredients are fresh and organic directly imported from Puglia (the hill of Italy). The atmospher is sublime and the stuff is very professional, i am looking forward to going back again!!:) I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!! CIAO

Almost reconsidered La Forketta after reading some of these reviews....glad we decided to go. Chose it due to proximity to our hotel and wanting non Asian cuisine, so my expectations were pretty low, but the quality of the food and ambience were both good. Yes, bread is not free, but there's a huge paragraph on the first page of the... More

Lovely cosy styled restaurant at Dempsey Hill. Superb ambience if you prefer a quiet and romantic set up. Serves authentic South Italian food. Bread n pizza are freshly baked from its wood-fired oven. The staff are friendly and do take initiative to top up empty glass, clear utensil and check customers' feedback of food.

Fine attention to detail and consistently high quality have persuaded me of the good value offered by the management of this restaurant, even though I was initially a bit apprehensive about the prices. Lovely bread with olive oil & balsamic vinegar dip was a simple, but delightful starter. Thin crust, brick-oven style pizzas ($20-27), done to perfection; try the one... More

After years in Singapore, I finally tried La Forketta with a friend on last Monday evening at Dempsey. No need for reservations as it was not busy. However they still tried to allocate us the table next to the computer where the staff hangs out?? Anyway, they brought us a breadbasket after we ordered and the basket showed up on... More

Having read previous reviews, I'd think that we might have gone to a different restaurant with the same name. A bunch of old friends went to La Forketta at 1 Nassim Rd. Ambiance was lovely - spacious and yet cozy. Service was good. We had complimentary water and a bread basket that was unexpectedly good - it wasn't just bread.... More

WE ate here once in August 2010, on a Saturday night. The service was very very slow, and needed constant reminding to bring us dishes and drinks. The restaurant was about 70% full during this evening. The pasta sauce was tasty and good - tangy tomato with good herb additives. The pasta was overcooked and limp, like you would find... More

Terrible food which has nothing to do with 'Italian cooking'. Tried both pasta and pizza, forget it. Service is painfully slow as well.

I brought my hubby to La Foketta for his birthday celebration. It was our first time there. We like the ambience there and the food is as good as the authentic Italian food. It reminded me of my trip to Europe country and having the nice local food there. The service is also very prompt and staff are friendly. I'll... More
