Just had my pants pulled down and spanked, charged me £15.50 for a chicken escalope baguette and a coffee, how you not embarrassed to charge that amount is comical !

Charged me £9 for a jacket potato when it says £5.5 on their menu. On top of that I was buying food for a homeless man and she overcharged me!

Just a lovely old school cafe run by good people. I like to get myself a Jacket Potato for lunch which comes with a nice little side salad. They have mounds of delicious looking pasta in the window. Trying some of that next time. Can't go wrong.

I’m not sugarcoating that this place may not look so appealing at first glance, but I eventually ended up loving it! We were looking for a place to chat with my friend after 7. Most places in Farringdon close down by 7, or are very busy. We decided to give it a go as it was literally the only option around the area. We only had coffee, but it was reasonably priced ( in fact, it is a pound cheaper than average prices in chain cafes ) and was tasty. The owner of the shop was a very friendly and lovely person, loved his jokes 😁 I really appreciate such places, with nice service and local vibes.

Maybe not super-cheap, but this place is 100% reliable. I bought a vegetarian ciabatta for £8 and it was incredibly delicious and nourishing — well worth the price. Given this was after midnight, that was more than fair. This is not the first time they’ve bailed me out at a strange hour. La Forchetta is the kind of place that reassures you about life, knowing it exists and does what it does so incredibly well

"Very Tired old place" This place needs a good boot up the. It's "just ok" but the toasted sandwiches are overpriced - £8.50 - that's 2 quid more expensive than Gail's across the road who are pricey enough!! It's the same dour sandwiches all the time, the same boring ciabatta - not a focaccia in sight, same old, same old. The staff seem to have lost interest - particularly the tall guy who seems that he is going through the motions each day, if doesn't enjoy his job, go somewhere else? The older Italian guy though is lovely and happy, an asset. Stepping into Forchetta's is like a trip back to the mid 1990's same old decor, same tired service, same tired sandwiches - yes i bet they will be doing the same ciabattas a decade from now. If Mary Portas was doing up a shop, this would be the kind of establishment she would look to improve. It's a sigh for me, it's ok, it's boring, it won't blow your socks away for the next 5 years, same old, same old. zzzzzzzzzz They won't even see this review as they are probably asleep, sigh.

FANTASTIC. Started our Saturday with a hearty breakfast at La Forchetta. You know you're onto a winner when the workies walk straight in, they will know. A big cup of coffee and generous servings, were brought to us by freindly, welcoming staff. Proper English breakfast, loads of toast and my brother-in-law got the breakfast with chips, and why not. Would definitely recommend it and hopefully will get to come back. Thank you La Forchetta 👏👏👏👏

We were staying across the street at the Rookery, and wandered over for breakfast. We loved it! The atmosphere was energetic, the guys behind the counter were friendly (and loud, but it was great), and the food was fast and solid. Great lattes, good croissants, comfy. It's always a treat to find small cafes like this that make you feel welcome. I read below about bad service and overpricing, but that was not our experience at all. We liked it so much we went back the next morning and enjoyed it all over again. (And the first day, they almost *undercharged* us). Love these guys.

Have been dining in for almost 3 years now, this is still one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to in North London!!!! The spiciness brings you happiness!!🌶️🌶️🔥🔥 (Recommend the grape smoothie - no words can describe how good it is🍇) P.s. the portion was huge and the picture was taken after having finished the whole pot - that’s how good it was 😋😋

Walking in to the bar on Thursday night and looking for a table. Another customer was about to leave of which the manager had suggested and gestured towards the table we were looking at. I kindly and politely asked the gentleman who was about to leave it would be okay for us to get their table after they left, and that we would happily wait by the side. The erratic and rude manager came up to me, aggressively telling me how dare I talk to one of the customers and that I was forcing myself upon them. This was not the case. The manager then proceeded to rudely look at me and my group making me feel uncomfortable for a considerable amount of time. Absolute power trip and terrible customer service.
