La Forchetta Coming to 3201 New Mexico Avenue, NW, Hopes to Open in March

Thanks to a reader for sending an update on Al Forno Pizza coming to 3201 New Mexico Avenue, NW by Chef Geoff’s. It will now be called La Forchetta. The reader writes:

“Apparently someone claimed they were already using Il Forno as a name.

The ANC struck a deal on liquor permit, and they’re supposed to open in March.”

Apparently they are really bad at selecting names. There is a restaurant named La Fourechette in AdMo Similar enough spelling that it will cause confusion, IMHO…

  Similar, because they both mean fork in a Romance language

  I don’t think anyone will confuse the two restaurants. The locations couldn’t be more different.

  Maybe not bad, but just really unimaginative. From Baked to The Fork.

  yeah, up by AU. Unless you live up there or go/went to AU, there aren’t a ton of reasons to know where it is.

  There is an avenue (or street) for every state in the union.

    Or, in Ohio’s case, a drive.
