La Forchetta

Best Italian style pizza I've had in a long, long time. Since being in italy, actually! Only got 4 stars on service because they couldn't find me a table as the place was jam-packed and they were going to let me walk away, and I myself had to ask if they do take-away. Highly recommend you reserve a table in advance if you go on a Friday or Saturday night. Even as take-away the pizza was absolutely delicious. They also have a wide variety of other dishes from what I could see of other customers eating.

Lovely little restaurant. Warmly greeted at the door. I have a bad back and the chairs are solid wood so as soon as I sat down I knew I'd be in pain by the end of the meal and asked for a cushion. At first the waitress brought me 2 cushions, one to sit on and one for my back which was absolutely fine. However she then changed the chair completely to the one the cushions were off I think which was even better. Such great customer service. Enabled me to enjoy my dinner in comfort. We had two different bruschettas to start and then each had a pasta dish. I had pesto and prawns and my husband had arrabiata. Both delicious and very filling. Definitely recommend this restaurant. It was a little chilly when we visited so we sat inside but there is as much outside space as inside so would be lovely to sit outside on a warmer evening.

Extremely well organised place, absolutely AMAZING staff, food was unbelievably good, the best sangría ever.... This place deserves way more than 5 stars. Staff is so lovely, they make you feel at home and they all make that place have such a BEAUTIFUL ATMOSPHERE. I have been in many places, and I can say this is one of the best restaurants I have been, food+location+atmosphere+staff+price ALL PERFECT. Special thanks to Linda, the first day she brought me and my partner blankets because we were cold, the second day she moved us to another table near to the heater to make sure we were warm enough. Thank you to all the staff, we are trully impressed with your hard work. Natalia and Keana (Spain and England)

I discovered this place after a particularly long day walking the streets of Faro. It was just a few steps from the apartment I was in. I collapsed into a chair and a lady came up to before I took my first relaxing sigh to be off my feet. I asked for a take way pizza and she politely led me into another door. They took my order and less than ten minutes later I had my pizza and was on my way to the apartment. I know pizza is a sensitive subject, but I like what I like. I don’t like eating my pie with a knife and fork. I want to pick up my slice and start eating with one hand. This pie was perfect for that. It still required the fold technique, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can back the next day for some beef lasagna and it did not disappoint. This was the only place a visited twice during my eight day stay except for the gelato stand on the corner. If you’re in Faro stop by. Simply great food. Oh and the pasta is made in the restaurant.
