Forcella: Tiny, new BYOB in Jenkintown
Forcella, an Italian 14-seater in downtown Jenkintown, offers three- and four-course tasting menus ($44 and $55, and there are vegetarian options) in the former Wild Dog House at 310 Old York Rd. (267-400-6155). It's open Tuesday to Saturday, 5 to 9 p.m.
When is a BYOB so tiny, it's more like dining in a private home?
That may be the case at the day-old Forcella, a plush, Italian 14-seater two doors from Drake Tavern in downtown Jenkintown.
Jose and Jennifer Vargas, who burst on the scene in 2007 with the two-bell Rylei in Mayfair, are offering three- and four-course tasting menus ($44 and $55, and there are vegetarian options) in the former Wild Dog House at 310 Old York Rd. (267-400-6155).
It's open Tuesday to Saturday, 5 to 9 p.m. and is cash/check only.

The Vargases also own the nearby Leila's Bistro, and recently divested their interest in Leila's Trattoria in Elkins Park (now known as Sicilian Trattoria).
