    We had such a wonderful experience at Forchella! Having dined at many restaurants in the North End, we've never had such an intimate and perfect evening. From the moment we arrived, we were seated immediately, and our server greeted us right away. She was incredibly welcoming and took the time to guide us through the menu, even sharing some of her personal favorites. We decided to take her recommendations, and we are so glad we did! We started with the mussels and Gnocchi al Coniglio. Both were absolutely delicious, with the freshest ingredients. The mussels were served piping hot, and my husband can’t stop talking about the gnocchi with braised rabbit—it was a standout dish for sure! For our mains, we had the salmon and the ribeye. Every component on the plate was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was exceptional, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was simply outstanding—A++++! We can’t wait to return!
