Forcola is a wonderful casual Italian restaurant with a good range of pizzas, pastas and other dishes at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is usually buzzing as it is justifiably popular with locals. This is not really a tourist restaurant so its well worth the little detour to get there.

It was a real good suggestion to look for this restaurant, just outside of the ring around the old city. We found it charming because of its domestic and hospitable ambience, and appreciated the caring service. We opted for the tasting menu, which comprehended six distinguished courses. Every part of it was simply delicious, most of all the tartar of... More

A very nice restaurant indeed. We were recommended this place by the concierge at the hotel we were staying in. The owner of the resturant is an Italian who was in England before to comming to Spain to start La Forcola. He has a very good team to help him run this unit. We had ordered salad,spaghetti, pizza & tiramisu... More

We went there are the recommendation of a local businessman with whom we had a meeting. Following the meeting, he said, lets do lunch (always a good sign for business right??). He said there was an Italian place (for a native from Valencia to recommend Italian? We thought this must be a good place), we said sure. Well, it is... More

We went here based on the good tripadvisor reviews. It's a little out of the center and from the outside, you cannot really see if it is crowded or not. We went inside for Sunday's lunch at about 2 pm and it became pretty full with guests. The food was delicious; we ordered a pizza and fresh pasta with porcini... More

We have been there twice for lunch during our stay in Valencia. The restaurant is very nice decorated, the food is very good and well presented. For the midday menu you have the choice between 3 starters, 3 mains, 5 desserts. Also, one drink is included. The small bread prepared with oil and herbs bedore us is fabulous!

Simply, one of the best italian restaurants in Valencia. Been there 4 or 5 times, with friends and family. Not always full, specially during lunch time, but the service is always good and close. Highly recommended

We visited La Forcola on our last night in Valencia. We didn't have a reservation and, although really busy, they accommodated us at a quiet table in one of their little alcoves - perfect! I had LINGUINE ALL'ASTICE and, although a little on the salty side, it was really tasty. My partner had one of their famous pizzas and really... More
