    Wow. What a gem of a restaurant. Just perfect for my date. Noisy and crowded and no one noticed us carrying on. Except the waitress who elevated our experience. Crazy good food.

    Fantastic!! The place is absurdly nice, with good taste, and the food is to die for. We arrived here based on the reviews in Google and they were absolutely right! Please see the photos I left so you can get a good idea as to what to expect. We met the owners and they cannot be nicer people. They treated us like family. My wife ordered Frutti de Mare and I got the Tagliolini al Mero de Seppia. Both dishes were awesome and reasonably priced. Please come to this place with confidence. I can assure you they will not disappoint you.

    Best Italian restaurant place so far in Pueblo. Food is delicious 😋 and dessert is to die for. Reservations are a must if you come in the weekend.

    THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH ANYTHING ON THEIR MENU! The outside patio is very nice, if it's cold out, they have the beautiful outdoor heaters, to keep you nice and toasty. If I could give 100 stars I would! We will definitely be dining here again and again.

    This was one of our favorite spots to eat at. I would definitely say this restaurant needs to be on your stop and try lists. We celebrated out 10th year anniversary here and it was amazing. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for a romantic night. Make sure yo make reservations. It's not really a huge place and they get busy. The wine we ordered was good. The best part about this place is the food for sure. The pasta offered here is fresh handmade. The steak I ordered had to be one if the best steaks had ever had. The flavor was spot on and cook to a medium rare perfection. Would definitely recommend the steak. We also ordered the Burrata which too was amazing. This was our first time trying this and it didn't disappoint. My wife got the amatriciana with fresh pasta. This meal was amazing. Literally each bite you can taste each individual flavor of the food. I have never experienced pasta like I did here. My wife also had chicken added to it. I would recommend this pasta dish. Overall this place did not disappoint and is a hidden gem for being in Pueblo. The price was worth the amount and quality of food that they offer. I recommend this place to every who has a chance to go but remember reservations are needed. I will be going back here for sure.

    Excellent Service, better food. I had the Lobster ravioli special with pesto sauce peppers and shrimp. Good cold cut variety as an appetizer, i had to mention the foccacia bread was very good too. And for the last touch a awesome double espresso shot.

    They got us in last minute on a Saturday night, we sat on the back patio. The patio area was gorgeous and really nice! Walking in was really weird, there was no host/hostess stand and we didn’t know where to go. Nobody greeted us for awhile even though servers kept walking past several times. Once we sat down though our server was a gem. She was so professional and came at all the right times. Our waitress gave us 5 star service. The pasta was amazing, we loved all of it. We had the lasagna, (I’m not a lasagna person but I thought it was incredible) Norma with fettuccine, and the walnut pesto with fettuccine. I’d come back for the pasta. For dessert we had the tiramisu and we were very disappointed. We are huge dessert people (I’m a pastry chef) & It didn’t really have much flavor, I couldn’t taste espresso or amaro and it didn’t have much sweetness. ):

    Was looking forward to eat here during our trip to Pueblo. One of the best Frutti di Mare soups I’ve ever had. We had the special Spinach Ravioli with crab meat and the Barramundi for dinner. The sauce on the Ravioli was delicious but the tomato sauce on the fish was a bit heavy but still good. Very disappointed on the Panna Cotta desert. Didn’t enjoy it at all. Our server Candance was serving the main dining room and she could have used help to keep the tables better. Overall it was a good experience. Would come back just for the Frutti de Mare!

    This wonderful little gem is not only the best Italian we've had in Colorado, but also in the US thus far. Everything from scratch. Lovely kind service. Innovative delicious drinks. Perfect sauces not shy on flavor or spice . We will be coming back again anytime we're in town.

    Nothing short of 5 stars for this authentic Italian gem. Maybe Pueblo’s best restaurant IMO. When the menu contains a lot of Italian named dishes, that’s generally a great first sign—and La Forchetta da Massi follows through on its promise of quality and authenticity! Here, you can enjoy real, homemade Italian favorites, including handmade pastas. You can also enjoy a variety of Italian cocktails and wines. . . seeing an Aperol Spritz on the menu was another box checked for authenticity! The same goes for espresso being on the menu as a lovely post-dessert treat. If there’s any criticism, it IS Italian style espresso, so it’s quite dark—but, that doesn’t detract from the overall experience. The bacon & pear ravioli has my FULL endorsement and my heart forever. Pro-tip: SIT OUTSIDE! The back patio is very romantic at golden hour or for an evening meal. Buy a bottle of wine and enjoy your date!

    My wife and I were visiting Pueblo, and picked La Forchetta da Massi for dinner: great choice! My wife ordered the Spinach Ravioli in white wine sauce, with asparagus and butterflied shrimp, and I ordered the Ossobuco alla Milanese. Both were outstanding and delicious! Service was excellent, prices very reasonable for the high quality of food, and ambience was delightful. Very highly recommended.

    Visited La Forchetta da Massi October 27 based on Trip Advisor recommendations. Nice atmosphere intimate setting. Great different breads with balsamic and olive oil for dipping. Alicia our server was both informative and attentive. I had the veal shank with a delicious sauce and polenta. We also had a pasta with a great Alfredo white sauce with sausage. I highly recommend this restaurant for food and service.

    The restaurant is so cozy there is indoor and outdoor dining in a romantic atmosphere. They take reservations, but they accommodated us when we didn't have one. The owner greeted us promptly, and she was very welcoming and amicable as well as the wait staff. The food was exceptional. We hadn't had this good of Italian food since Italy. The menu isn't Americanized like most Italian places in the US and they have a nice selection of wines. I applaud the professionalism of this restaurant they really are running the place like restaurants should be. I am adding this place to my favorites and hope to revisit.

    Absolutely delicious!!! Authentic Italian food. Lovely atmosphere. I was visiting a friend (my hometown) from Ft Collins a few months ago. Definitely a 5 star. She had made reservations for two. When we arrived the hostess was not friendly & seated us on patio. We asked for a different table & she said nothing else was available. However, our waitress was amazing (older lady). She moved us immediately. The food is so delicious, the waitress was outstanding, so I’m discarding the hostess’s attitude 😂. A must go to for beautiful, delicious Italian food.

    This is an upscale Italian restaurant the has a small homey feel. They were a recommendation from a coworker who is local and they did not disappoint. Next time I am in town I will be back. This is a small venue so call ahead or be prepared to sit at the bar.

    First time here, was able to get in right away on a Friday. Our waitress was sweet, attentive. We enjoyed our date night outside in their warm tent. We will be back. We had the sea bass and the veal- amazing!! They also have gluten-free options.

    I have been visiting La Forchetta ever since a dear friend of mine, who knows the owners very well, invited me there for dinner. Now, every time I visit El Pueblo, we stop and have a fantastic dinner. It is a pleasure to indulge in Massi and his wife homemade delicacies. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. They make you feel like at home.

    My wife and I shared an incredible, authentic Italian dinner at this cozy restaurant. Everything was perfect... the atmosphere, the friendly and welcoming service, and the wonderful meal. Chef stopped by our table, which we greatly appreciated. I strongly recommend that you plan in advance and make reservations.

    Food was some of the better Italian we've had in Colorado Springs/ Pueblo area. Unfortunately, the waitress we had ruined the entire experience. Not once were we asked if we needed a refill on drinks, bread, or anything. Never came by to check on the meal, etc. When we could actually find the waitress, we had to walk over to her and ask for service. On multiple occasions, she literally rolled her eyes as if we were an imposition on her. I will give this place one more chance, as long as I'm never served by the petite person with some "writing" (no idea what it says) tattoo on the left collar area.
