Forchetta in Wijk 12 Schoonhoven

Had delicious fresh pasta carbonara, good wine list and friendly service!

Delicious food, well-presented and authentic. The glasses for the white wine are not pleasant. And personally, I don't really like the decor of the restaurant. And it is very noisy.

We had a delicious meal; the staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu features unusual dishes and three special monthly specials. There is a good selection of desserts. Tasty wines are also available by the glass.

Very disappointing experience. Two spaghetti vongole orders were a complete letdown. Portions far too small, hardly any clams, a watery dish. When we voiced this criticism, we were told "that we always do it this way." Well, not a serious response. Never again.

We had a very good meal. A small downside. I have a hearing problem. The noise in the restaurant is very loud.

Very good and fresh homemade Italian food prepared by Italian chefs. There are many tasty and varied dishes to choose from, also because there are 3 temporary specials every month. I love the pizzas with the thin, airy crust! The pastas and risotto are also superb and very filling. The salads and desserts are also very tasty. Good staff and reasonable waiting times between courses. It is my favorite restaurant and many others feel the same way, so making a reservation is always a good idea.

Had a delicious meal! Real Italian, no shortcuts! And friendly service.

For the second time, I am very dissatisfied with the way guests are treated here. During a previous visit, a drink was spilled on me and the table while being served. Accidents happen, but my trousers and jacket were sticky and my expensive shoes had to be cleaned. As ‘compensation’, the spilled drink was taken off the bill. However, this drink wasn't even mine, meaning my girlfriend got a free drink while *I* was the one who was completely covered. Nothing was done or offered to me. Fortunately, after sending an email with the complaint, this was compensated with another visit. During our last visit, I mentioned that I can only eat a small portion due to a gastric bypass. A smaller pizza could not be made, and even halving a dough ball was not possible. There are only adult sizes available for children as well. My partner therefore offered to order a starter and share one pizza together, if the topping could be split half and half. There was absolutely no consideration for that either: it was simply not possible. To make matters worse, we were also sitting in the smoke from a gentleman sitting in the back smoking behind his laptop. We felt completely unwelcome, were eventually forced to share one pizza, and after that just wanted to get away as quickly as possible. Very customer-unfriendly and not a pleasant experience for us. Third attempt, but this was definitely our last visit!

We went out for dinner to celebrate our 17th anniversary at Forchetta. We had a lovely time sitting outside on the terrace. You can reserve separate tables inside or outside, which isn't possible everywhere! The service was great and the wine list was unmistakable; excellent options! The dishes were original and, moreover, very tasty. The Fennel Bread and the Pannacotta, in particular, were a work of art!

Despite being busy, the wait for food was normal. Super cool staff and delicious Italian dishes. Highly recommended for a meal during a visit to Schoonhoven. The desserts are also delicious. #enjoy #Schoonhoven

We only had pizzas. They were special ones with a unique, delicious flavor. Very prompt and friendly service.

Had delicious pizzas, truly exceptionally flavorful. Wide selection of other items on the menu. Had reserved in advance. They responded quickly. It was noisy inside, though. But the service was top-notch. Highly recommended.

If you love pizza, this is the place to be, and at a reasonable price too.

I genuinely enjoy Italian cuisine and eat it regularly, so I know what authentic Italian food should taste like. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst Italian meals I have ever had. The ingredients tasted like the cheapest possible quality, and the food had nothing in common with authentic Italian cuisine. What disappointed me even more was the service. I stopped eating after only a few bites, and I was sitting there in front of your entire staff with a full plate. Nobody came to ask if something was wrong or why I wasn't eating. Instead, everyone simply looked at me as if I were doing something strange. A restaurant that truly respects Italian cuisine and its guests would have asked what the problem was and tried to resolve the situation. Instead, I felt ignored and completely disrespected. Total disrespect towards your own culture and cuisine awful Even one star feels generous for this experience.

We each ate a pizza; they are baked the way they should be. Tasty and more than enough toppings. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious meal in a charming setting!

Food bland and drenched in gravy. Even the flavor-maker porcini was overpowered by the gravy in which it swam lavishly. The other dishes were also bland. The tiramisu was watery and the alcohol had probably evaporated or Mist

Served quickly, incredibly delicious pizza. Even the orange juice came from Italy. Really great!

We ate delicious dishes and drank excellent drinks in a very good atmosphere. Ria, Bas, Corrien and Frans.

The food and the service were great.

Cozy and nice Italian restaurant in Schoonhoven!

Just good Italian food, just like you get in Italy. Highly recommended!

Best Italian restaurant in Schoonhoven and the surrounding area. Super friendly and helpful service!

What a super experience again!! Friendly and helpful staff. Cozy atmosphere and the food was very tasty. We really enjoyed ourselves, and on the recommendation of the wait staff, we (6 people) started with tasty appetizers followed by a delicious main course. We received extra plates to share with each other as well. Definitely worth repeating and also very affordable. A solid 10 for Forchetta 👍

Only when it's busy (Saturday night) can you barely talk to each other because of the noise of voices. The ceiling really rises too high then. Better to choose another time. Otherwise, delicious pizzas and good atmosphere and service.

Cozy atmosphere, and delicious food

The acoustics are bad because you can barely have a conversation when the restaurant is full.

What a fantastic Italian restaurant! Forchetta surprises with fantastic cuisine: artisanal, homemade pizzas from a wood-fired oven and delicious, fresh pasta bursting with flavor. You can taste the love and passion in every dish. In addition, a young, energetic, and incredibly pleasant service team makes you feel immediately welcome and creates a relaxed atmosphere. Everything is perfect here, from the food to the service. Mille grazie, chef! We will definitely be back. 🇮🇹🍕🍝

Always delicious to eat here. And very nice service.

A very nice, cozy, and welcoming restaurant. The peaceful atmosphere makes you lose all sense of time. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Definitely recommended!

Wonderful restaurant and friendly staff. Good food, wonderful cocktails. Worth a visit. Very good staff.

Great place! Delicious food and friendly staff. Truly authentic Italian restaurant. No thick crusts or greasy spaghetti, but delicious fresh ingredients and a beautiful pizza topped with delicious pizzas.

Great location, modern decor, good food, and especially attentive service! Pizza and pasta are highly recommended.

A fantastic restaurant where you can truly enjoy an authentic Italian meal! Kudos to the chef!

Had a children's party. Delicious food. Well organized and well done.

Charming decor. Fantastic food! The mushroom and truffle pizza was delicious. The best tiramisu! Lovely tableware. Friendly service. We'll definitely be back.

Nice atmosphere, great food, it was a pleasant evening 👍

Super sweet service and amazing food :)

Good Italian food, beautifully prepared: Melanzane Parmigiana, pasta Genovese, fresh ravioli. The very young staff has limited knowledge of the dishes and is not very attentive. They deserve further training in dedicated hospitality, befitting a specialty restaurant.

The food was excellent. The service, despite two teenagers, was very poor. They lacked product knowledge and hospitality. The staff needs much better training.

Cozy restaurant and delicious food.

We booked a pizza making workshop for 8 people, including kids. It was very fun, we got to make our own dough and choose the toppings, bake the pizza in a pizza oven and eat it! It is possible to supplement with extra drinks and dessert, and even order other food. The restaurant is located in a cute picturesque town so make sure to stroll around. Thanks, it was a lovely day and a lovely birthday for my son :)

We come here often. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, the best pizza in Schoonhoven and the surrounding area. Delicious appetizers. A real asset to Schoonhoven.

The best pizza I've had in a long time. Very friendly staff. The space is cozy, but quite noisy. Could use some improvement.

Unfortunately, the meat special on the website had already changed, and the new one came with a sauce I didn't like. The chef resolved it perfectly with a different, delicious sauce. The pizza and pasta were also delicious. Friendly and good service.

A fantastic spot on the water in the center of Schoonhoven. Delicious food and great service. Clean and cozy! We'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will definitely be back.

Delicious food. Beautiful shop and super friendly host...we'll definitely be back...

We had a wonderful meal this evening. The starters, main courses, and desserts were all delicious! As was the cappuccino. Starter: Bruschetta, burrata veggie (tomato, arugula) Main: Pasta Carbonara & salmon. Dessert: Tiramisu & panna cotta. Every dish: TOP! Hygiene: good, restrooms clean. Service: friendly and fast (partly open kitchen). * We found the chairs and tables less comfortable, and the restaurant could use a bit more ambiance. Candles lit. Curtains for ambiance and acoustics, flowers… atmospheric lamps. We asked for and received a cushion for the chair. Wonderful. The tableware is beautiful, wonderfully old-fashioned. A wonderful way to serve Italian food! Didn't finish any food? You can take it home; it's great that waste is being reduced. The kitchen and the pizza oven counter look beautiful. We had a wonderful time! Thank you so much. Exactly €100 (we weren't disappointed with the price). 4 beers, 2 teas, 2 cappuccinos

Delicious food and excellent service.

We made a reservation this afternoon and requested a quiet spot due to our hearing impairment. This was perfectly arranged, and they were very considerate of our needs, including communication. Of course, restaurants are noisy, which is normal. But it was wonderful that they took this into account. The food was delicious and truly authentic Italian. The price-quality ratio is also excellent! The service was also truly top-notch! A truly wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Good Italian food, friendly service, good value for money. Informal, accessible.

Italian food as it should be and was meant to be. Fresh ingredients and very tasty!

Lekker, goed, snel, vriendelijke bediening. Volgende keer weer. Aanrader dus, zeker als je van goeie pizza's houdt. The end.

Had a delicious pizza. Another good experience.

Altijd goed om hier terug te komen, om de redenen die hieronder al zijn genoemd. Mijn favoriet is de lasagna van aubergine (niet te verwarren met de lasagna zoals "wij" die kennen en die ook op de kaart staat, bij de pasta's). Een variëteit van drie rode huiswijnen betekent voor elk wat wils. Mooie selectie pizza's en pasta's ook.

Very nice restaurant, beautiful interior too. Great service and delicious food.

The four of us dined here on a Wednesday evening. The staff is very skilled and attentive. There's a relaxed atmosphere. The food is delicious, from appetizer to dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Lovely staff, excellent pizzas and pastas, some dishes could use a little more attention in my opinion, both in terms of preparation and presentation.

Delicious pizzas, good risotto, the pasta carbonara could be better, the pancetta was burnt which gave the pasta a bitter taste, otherwise very nice service and we will definitely come back

Super tasty food, super fast and friendly service, and a very cozy atmosphere. You can sit here for 2 hours if you want and have a nice meal, but with children you can also be outside again within 30 minutes if you want (and you can take the food you didn't eat home with you) plus you can eat there for a nice price :) A gem this

Delicious food, nice menu! Nice, such an open kitchen, you can hear the sounds of preparing fresh food. Nicely decorated, nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended. We will come back soon to enjoy a meal.

Heerlijk gegeten, echte authentieke Italiaanse gerechten met verse ingredienten. Ruime keus in vegetarische gerechten en ze schenken heerlijke wijnen. De bediening was vlot en vriendelijk. Restaurant zat goed vol

Amazing! Stopped in on a Tuesday evening. Had bruschetta as an appetizer, fresh and delicious! Dinner was pasta carbonara and mushroom risotto, both cooked perfectly and amazing! Seating was right alongside a beautiful canal. Highly recommend!

Sunday we went to eat swordfish menu chosen was very disappointing bremzout, vegetables indefinable vegetables, potato slices many black and rock hard some. And then all this wrapped in aluminum foil not recommended

What a great place this is in the beautiful Silver City of Schoonhoven. Delicious Italian food and super friendly people. This time we enjoyed the sun outside, but it is also very atmospheric inside. Forchetta is our place for a wonderful evening of enjoyment!

Wat een fantastische ervaring bij La Forchetta! Vanaf het moment dat we binnenstapten voelden we ons welkom. De reservering verliep soepel en we kregen meteen een fijne plek bij het raam met uitzicht op de charmante straatjes van Schoonhoven. Het eten was werkelijk verrukkelijk. De pasta met truffelsaus was romig en perfect op smaak, en de pizza met parmaham was knapperig, rijk belegd en authentiek Italiaans. Alles was vers bereid en dat proef je direct. Ook het dessert – een klassieke tiramisu – was om je vingers bij af te likken. De service was vriendelijk, vlot en attent zonder opdringerig te zijn. De bediening had duidelijk plezier in hun werk en gaf goede uitleg over de gerechten en wijnsuggesties. De sfeer is warm en gezellig: modern ingericht met een knipoog naar Italië. De tafels staan niet te dicht op elkaar, waardoor je echt ontspannen kunt dineren. Wat betreft prijs/kwaliteit zit je hier goed. Voor de kwaliteit van het eten en de beleving betaal je een eerlijke prijs. Absoluut waar voor je geld. De locatie is perfect: midden in het centrum, op loopafstand van de zilverstad bezienswaardigheden en met voldoende parkeergelegenheid in de buurt. Wachttijd tussen de gangen was precies goed – geen gehaast, maar ook zeker niet te lang wachten. Kortom: wij komen hier zeker terug. Een aanrader voor iedereen die van écht Italiaans eten houdt in een gezellige en sfeervolle setting!

Great Pizza's asset to the region, correct service 👍😄

In our family we experienced: 'Have you ever eaten in a good restaurant in Italy?' Then this is the place to be. Really delicious, everything is fresh, including the pasta, just like you eat it in Italy.

Expectations were high after all the good reviews, but unfortunately it was a bit disappointing. The decoration of the restaurant is not my choice, very sparse. Which resulted in a cacophony of sound. The pizza oven is in the back part of the restaurant, which makes it quite hot there. The staff is friendly, but we found the dishes disappointing, the risotto was tasty but not special, the ravioli was fine, but the ricotta with spinach was lukewarm and 4 meatballs for 21 euros were a bit expensive. However, the Tiramisu was excellent and I don't think we will go there again.

Ate here for the first time today, expectations were high but unfortunately they were disappointing, the service and its speed left much to be desired. Orders were forgotten to serve and ingredients were missing, the food was cold quickly and lacked flavor.

Forchetta provided on-site catering for our anniversary party. Delicious dishes were made on the spot, it was delicious! The guests loved it and the men from Forchetta brought the real Italian atmosphere to the party location and were enthusiastic themselves. The service during the evening was flawless. We didn't have to worry about the food for a moment, because everything was completely taken care of. Communication during arranging the catering went very smoothly. The quotation was clear and we knew in advance exactly what to expect in terms of dishes, and we were also allowed to submit our own wishes from the menu. An absolute must!!

Heerlijk gegeten, echt Italiaans, goddelijke smaken, lekkere wijn, goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding, attent personeel, gezellige sfeer

Had a delicious meal at Forchetta tonight!! Were 4 people. As starters we had the tuna tartare, Caprese, Bruchetta and the meatballs, all equally delicious! Then the main courses, including 3 delicious pizzas and 1 pasta, the ravioli filled with buratta in pesto sauce, so delicious! We were actually too full for dessert, but we ordered the panna cota and the tiramisu and they were also consumed with ease. The service was also pleasant and super friendly. We will definitely come back here!!! An asset to Schoonhoven!

Delicious Italian food. Been a number of times, including business relations from Italy. Really good food. Very friendly and pleasant service. Last Friday evening I was lucky that there was still 1 table available. Forchetta is highly recommended!

The restaurant may not have the typical Italian atmosphere you expect, but that atmosphere is definitely reflected in the food itself. The service is incredibly fast and the food tasted delicious. There is more than enough choice in food, also for vegetarians and vegans.

Delicious pizzas and pastas. Nice and pleasant service. Recommended. Top restaurant.

Had to wait hours for the starter. Bruschetta hard and tomatoes barely seasoned. Risotto tasted as if it had been on the stove for hours, it had become rice porridge. Too bad, because these simple dishes can be so tasty... In addition, the chairs are rock hard and it is very draughty, especially if you sit near the entrance of the restaurant.

We have been here many times and it is always good here

Erg lekker, goede menukaart, snelle en aardige bediening. Het restaurant is sfeervol ingericht en de menukaart heeft goede Italiaanse gerechten.

Delicious food, and also good with younger children.

Very tasty food, we were kindly helped by the girls who work there. The place is very nicely decorated!

Top! So happy with this restaurant in Schoonhoven! Good and nice atmosphere, beautiful interior, now beautiful Christmas decorations too. Staff is friendly, not to mention the food; delicious! The back can sometimes be a bit warm due to the beautiful pizza oven... but you can enjoy looking into the chef's kitchen there Would definitely eat there :)

very happy with this restaurant in Schoonhoven. The pizzas are really delicious, rarely seen such a thin base. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is very fast. Get out and home quickly if you want.

It is a beautiful place in Schoonhoven. There are beautiful outdoor spots when the weather is nice. Lots of space inside and good service. The service is pleasant and hospitable. A winner for me. Definitely recommended!

You can tell that the cook is really Italian, the food is delicious. The service is friendly and pleasant. Absolutely great!

The food, especially the pizzas, is fantastic. The menu could be varied a little more often and more vegetarian options could be added. The furniture is super charming but starting to get a little boring. The wine list is absolutely top notch.

Delicious pizza, fennel salad was also great. Friendly service. Nice restaurant without frills. If you are looking for a decor experience, then that is what you are missing. Do you just want good food and no nonsense? With an Italian chef in the kitchen. Then this is the place to be.

Amazing pizza, great service and lovely atmosphere!

A real Italian: with relatively simple, but high-quality ingredients, yet intensely tasty dishes. It always amazes me how an ingredient or dish that you already think you know can have so much more flavor. Don't expect Dutchification: pasta is al dente, not boiled to death, and even the soft drinks are not the standard stuff (San Pellegrino blood orange is highly recommended!). The restaurant itself has a simple, but homely appearance. No dusty dust, but effective reuse of vintage and antiques. Wooden tables and chairs, reminiscent of (or are?) old school furnishings, and the same degree of comfort. Not great for sitting still and listening for hours on end, certainly great for a meal and conversation. It can be noisy inside when it's busy, but because I'm sensitive to that, I always have earplugs with me. I didn't really find it disturbing until now. If the friendly staff is unsure about something, they will ask: great! Better that than bullshit or disinterest. As a resident, I am very happy with this restaurant, it is not yet another with the same standard menu and it is not just for day trippers. And not unimportant: the price is very reasonable, and the quantities are more than sufficient for the average stomach. Oh, and apparently takeaway is also possible. That seems like a nice option if you're tired of fries, American pizza and döner here.

Just a good pizza for a good price. Nice meal outside

Best pizza in town, excellent desserts too.

Since it opened, this is actually the only restaurant in Schoonhoven where I still eat. I have had a nice dinner here several times, and on Silver Day I thought their tasty sandwiches had the best price/quality ratio of all the food offered on the street. Judging from other reviews, they learn from criticism. I did see some sound absorbing material, but I don't know how long ago it was installed. The control automatically offered to close the door for a pleasant temperature and later also to lower the screen against the low sun. The drinks board was explained. The portions are not large, but that is not a problem with so many delicious things on the menu, the prices are fine. The pizzas are filling by the way. Delicious cuisine with fresh ingredients, so there may be times when something runs out, which is logical, and it makes choosing a little easier. I don't have a big butt but I had no complaints about the wooden chairs. I like the casual decor, as well as the service.

Delicious dinner with a group! It tasted like more!

Delicious food, friendly service, nice wine, fair price

Very bad Italian. Pizzas burnt and pasta undercooked. Not recommended!

Very good italian pizza's. And very clean place. Good atmosphere. Great service

Want to try something different, so we made a reservation for a nice dinner here on Saturday evening. The food is good, nicely prepared, especially for that price. The service behaves friendly, but from a practical point of view it is hopeless: not knowing what you are serving, making a mistake in what you are serving because the menu has just changed, never asking again after the first drink if you would like something to drink (if you want anything at all). is already near the table) and do not know who ordered what. The first impression when we entered: what a lot of noise! Admittedly, the place was quite full, but not a cent was spent on sound-absorbing measures: no curtains, walls and ceilings painted and that's it. Looks nice and trendy, but is an abomination sound-wise; any conversation without raising your voice impossible. Again: highly recommended in terms of food, but absolutely not for the rest. Too bad, missed opportunity!

We came in unexpectedly a little later in the evening. The pizzas were great, tasted like in Italy. Price was also fine.

Zonde van ons geld... om 1800 uur gereserveerd en we kregen wel al snel te drinken... het is een leuke lokatie en het was er niet druk....dus waarom het zo lang moest duren allemaal... we waren met 4 personen ...de serveerster kwam steeds zeggen dat ze het ook lang vond duren maar dat het nu echt in de oven zat....om 19.30 uur kwam eindelijk het eten.. wat ontzettend tegenviel de porties waren klein en de pizza had zwarte plekken.. echt heel erg jammer en niet voor herhaling vatbaar!
