Forcella is a chic, cozy gem in the North End serving up inventive Italian staples like chicken parm and burrata, perfect for a romantic night out.
"Tiny North-End Italian favorite Forcella is here with a special $55 dinner during Dine Out Boston. Burrata with tomato jam, crostini, and roasted pine nuts, plus pesto risotto with baby tomatoes, and classic chicken parm with smoked mozzarella are highlights on the three-course menu. Dinner is available every night but Saturdays." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams
"Forcella is a tiny place on North Square that, like every other restaurant within walking distance, is Italian. The good news is that the menu is more exciting than your typical North End Italian spot, with things like quail with vanilla-poached rhubarb and gnocchi served with braised rabbit. If you’re in the neighborhood and struggling to decide between the 106 restaurants that all look they could be “cute little Italian places,” head here knowing you’ll get a decent meal - especially if you can land the one table next to the big window overlooking the square." - Dan Secatore
"Forcella is now open, serving classic Italian food. A new Italian restaurant is now open within a storied space in the North End. Forcella (33 North Sq.) opened Thursday, December 20, taking over where Carmen left off after 16 years when it closed in 2016." - Dana Hatic
