Buona Forchetta - South Park

We had a good dinner at buona forchetta. It wasn’t amazing but still enjoyable! It is located in a neighborhood with indoor and outdoor seating. The food is authentic Italian. The lasagna was amazing! The pizza was good but I was disappointed in the presentation/distribution of the toppings. The toppings were very slim and only on part of the pizza. I do recognize and validate that it was a busy Valentine’s Day/Presidents Day weekend and they were short staffed. I did appreciate they were accommodating with the requests we had.

We arrived 15 minutes early and the hostesses were not the friendliest and said we’d have to wait till our table was ready which I totally get but their delivery and tone was a bit snippy. We proceeded to ask to use the restrooms and they said yes… you’d think they’d give you directions but nope 👎🏼. A smile and support goes a long way. The location was cute and stylish. The waiter was dry and seemed snooty and matched the same energy as the hostesses without really showing interest in our visit. The food was delicious. The pizza base crust was so soft and almost as thin as a crepe which melted into your mouth so divinely. The pomegranate sparkling drink was yum just a bit too much sugar 30+ grams so I added water to soften the sweetness. We shared a spaghetti pasta with papas and some pizza. My spouse said the pasta was lacking flavor but I enjoyed it. I do plan to revisit to give it another chance in hopes that we get a more friendly experience.

We had some pasta, a pizza, and a salad, all of it was delish! We had some rosemary focaccia bread as well, it’s a very busy place but the staff is great at getting people sat down, I recommend a reservation though which is thankfully what we had. The outdoor seating was great as well, definitely would go back

Went to Buona Forchetta to celebrate a birthday with family. It is a smaller restaurant tucked away in a South Park neighborhood in San Diego. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is comfortable and they have indoor and outdoor dining. The prices are moderate and reasonable. The food was tasty but I thought the Ravioli with porcini mushroom sauce was a tad bland. The desserts were excellent. We had a very pleasant evening there.

One word; delicious!!! You it's good when you are looking at the menu and other tables, figuring out what to try next time. The artichokes are fabulous for an appetizer. My wife had the Scallops Gnocchi, while I had the sausage, mushroom and truffle pizza. Awesome crust. We finished with the best chocolate mousse in the world. We always order chocolate mousse if it is on the menu and this was the best. Service is great, too!
