Reviews for Buona Forchetta - South Park in San Diego, CA

Probably the best pizza and beet salad I’ve ever had!! I’m obsessed with both so having the best of each one in the same... meal was an absolute treat! Everything was made to perfection. The service was incredible. They’re so kind and quick to attendto you. Our food came out super fast too! I highly recommend this restaurant! Can’t wait to go back when we visit again. Read more

I used to work in a couple of Italian restaurants so I'm happy to report that Buona Forchetta is outstanding, if not superb. Top... notch service and food, in an unpretentious, family-friendly setting. Considering it was a busy, Saturday night and the numberof covers, the sheer volume of high quality pizzas and pasta the kitchen must have been pumping out is mind blowing! Bravo! Read more

Buona Forchetta was an amazing place to go have dinner. The streetside environment was awesome, the service was fast and... friendly, and very helpful explaining their menu options. When the food came out it was absolutely awesome, the margarita pizzahas a great crust, great cheese, and awesome sauce. The pasta was super good as well. It was also very affordable especially forthe quality of the food, and the servers were there to refill waters or check on how we were doing. Will definitely eat hereagain. Read more

What an awesome place to come spend a meal. Love the vibe here in a hip corner of South Park. If you’re going and it’s a... decent day I would recommend sitting outside as the ambiance was fantastic with a smooth saxophone playing in thebackground. Food was also spectacular. I went with the Buona Forchetta sauce on some fresh fettuccine and it was excellent. Wealso split the Giulia pizza which had just the right touch of spice. Overall an awesome dinner and would highly recommend forgood pasta in the area. Read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in San Diego. Located in South Park, this is a trendy restaurant in the area with outdoor... dining. It seems to be always busy. When we visited this place for Father's Day celebration, the restaurant was packed with livemusic. Love the vibes here. The foods were amazing and absolutely delicious. The only reason I gave it a 4 star was that wecouldn't get our waiter's attention. Maybe because they were busy due to Father's Day celebration. We started the evening withtwo appetizers. The focaccia bread was so good. I probably shouldn't have ate so much of it. We shared the appetizers and thefried calamari was one of the best we ever had. My son ordered their steak special. It was grilled to perfection. The meat wasvery tender and juicy. The portion was so huge. My son had to pack half of the food home. Probably the highlight of theevening was the Bronzino fish dish. I loved the tender texture of the fish. Like many high end Italian restaurants, Bronzino isalways a featured dish. This restaurant did a good job on bringing out the natural flavor of this fish. I ate the whole fish bymyself, no left overs. With the nice breeze outdoor, we had a great evening celebrating Father's Day together with the family. Read more

One of the oldest Italian joints in San Diego and they’re friendly staff and amazingly fresh and quality food proves why.... Their daily specials are always made with the freshest ingredients. Although they’re known for their lasagna and pizzas,(literally any single one is delicious) any thing you get here is sure to make your tastebuds sing! They have two locations butthis one is a bit more intimate. Read more

We brought family from out of town and they agree, this is one of the best and most authentic Italian restaurants in San Diego.... I was referred here by a native Italian, so I'm not surprised. I've been to Venice, Pisa, Florence and Rome. This is goodItalian. Read more
