Get the gnocchi 's as an appetizer . They are homemade and probably the most delicious thing ever. Also, watch out for the singing guitar player. He begs for money after his performances .
Gnocchis are sublime. Veal leg is grilled expertly with a nice char and smokey flavor & stuffed with flavorful prosciutto and mozzarella . Spaghetti with clams perfect. in white sauce . Tiramisu -great!
Emphasizes warm hospitality and elevated Italian home cooking , from cloudlike ricotta gnocchi to sublime roast leg of lamb . Entrees could be more consistent, but overall, dinner offers a quality meal Read more
My favorite combo is to start off with the buffalo mozzarella salad , followed by splitting a gnocchi app with someone, then the pollo vita. Lastly, finish of with a cappuccino .
If you’re a fan of pasta , try either the gnocchi or the lobster ravioli ! Also it’s BYOB so you can bring your own wine !
A cream cake makes a delectable finish. Cucina Forte serves lunch by appointment only. Read more
Get the spinach gnocchi as an appetizer ; it's delicious. And don't forget to order a frothy cappuccino at the end of your meal.
Service was great, gave us extra sorbet ...lobster ravioli and calamari were both wonderful!
Gluten free gnocchi best ever.
This place is amazing! Great for a night out with a team or social group. Oldest Italian restaurant in Philly. Get the mussels! - Kendrick Kamar
great ambiance with an adventurous take on Italian. don't ignore the specials & leave room for dessert :) - Meghan Brindley
Specials, appetizer with eggplant to die for-portions are big though-couldn't make it to dessert. Also noticed a lot of BYOB. We still were able to get glass of delicious house wine anyhow - C C
