    Service (Arturo) was excellent, and was a fantastic compliment to our evening. Ribeye was flavorful with a perfect cook. Pasta, again, well made, with beautiful texture. Cocktails also fun and interesting. One of the better tiramisu efforts in Charlotte - NOT the typical soaked mush with overly sweet cream. Balanced and pleasant finish for dinner. Forchetta had not been on our radar - it is now. Happy to spend another evening here.

    We will try again after Queens Feast. Clearly a very popular location as every square inch was reserved for seating which made every table feel less like fine dining and more like an over crowded company picnic. The food was good but we were expecting to order from the full menu as we were misguided by the Queens Feast reviews.

    Service was great and appreciated the welcoming mood. Food was decent, however the lobster mac and cheese lacked actual lobster, and the food was luke warm when served. I'm not sure if it was due to Queen's Feast, but not a great first impression. The cocktail (cucumber mint with gin) was extremely sweet and lacked any taste of gin. We actually returned it with the server and ordered a glass of wine. No manager or apology during the whole dinner. Unlikely we would return after this experience.

    We had a trainee waiter. Things came out a little slow. Other than that everything was good. i am sure our waiter will be up to par by the next time we go back. We go there often and will be back.

    This was our first visit to Forchetta and we were pleased with everything. Our food was a little slow coming out at first, but then other courses came out timely. Everyone was extremely pleasant, and the staff seemed to coordinate their care for us well.
