Buona Forchetta - San Andreas

Always lovely. Staff, food and environment is consistently wonderful. I recommend asking staff what is best that night they usually have a fun surprise.

Best Italian spot in a 10 mile radius . We love it here. The area, atmosphere, food, customer service its a 10/10 in my books

Honestly had high expectations for this place and I was very disappointed. The food itself was solid enough; the soup was just okay, the pizza was good, and the pesto was great! This place is usually fairly busy, and this was no exception. Indoor seating felt a bit tight, but the outside seating looks great. The disappointing part of this restaurant was absolutely the service. The waiter never really checked on us, even when he was standing 3 feet away half the time. I found a hair in my pasta, and I did not want to make a big deal out of it, so I just took it out, mentioned it to the waiter, and simply asked for a replacement fork. I definitely could have asked for a comp on that item but did not; I was at least expecting some concern, but the waiter did not really acknowledge the hair or anything, and did not even bother to offer a simple apology which goes a long way. I definitely won't be back here, solely based on the service experience I had.

You can smell the delicious pizza oven working from down the block! Buona Forchetta was some of the best Italian food we've had in San Diego. The menu was expansive (both for food and wine), the service was superb, and the building felt both old school and elevated at the same time!

Buona Forchetta always has great food, atmosphere and service at all their locations. The South Park location is more intimate and neighborhood friendly for me. The main restaurant with outdoor dining under the tent and a bar two doors down that reminds me of dining at a friend's kitchen. However, parking is terrible. The pastas are fresh and have choices for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free lovers. They don't have a full bar and offer a fixed menu of cocktails, beer, and wine. Their cocktails are made with soju which are 25% alcohol content and boy, do they sneak up on you! We got: Venetian spritzer: Prosecco, club soda, orange vermouth bubbly Italian 76: gin, lemon, Prosecco favorite! Refreshing Menabrea rossa: Italian craft red beer not many red beers on the market. I'm also not a beer drinker but this Italian beer was so smooth! For food, I stuck to vegetarian options. Focaccia added garlic: huge 10 inch 6 slices Built my own pasta with pesto pappardelle. margherita pizza: same size as the focaccia bread We had a party of 11, celebrating 3 bdays and we received 2 focaccia on the house as well as 2 straccetti alla Nutella desserts on the house. The dessert are fried pizza dough strips with Nutella, fruits and powdered sugar. Reminded me of funnel cake. The menu said this serves 2 people, but we had more eaters and still had leftovers. Overall, great experience!
