Buona Forchetta - South Park, San Diego CA

South Park- The food is delicious, wait staff are friendly and it feels like a night out in Italy.

Used to be one of my favorite restaurants but the food and service has gone down substantially. Bread was tough and dry. Food had little flavor and to get a waiter took forever. AM not sure it will be one of my go-to's anymore.

Food excellent, need to say. Service at this location subpar. Could not get through on the phone to place an order for pick up. Placed my order in person, needed to check for an update 30 minutes later as I waited and found my pizza cold when I got home. Obviously my pizza sat as I sat. Unfortunate since the pizza is so good.

Excellent restaurant. Excellent vegan and gluten free options. The focaccia and vegan pizza is superb. Highly recommend

I would of given this place 5 stars but getting a table reserved was not an ideal experience. They only accept reservations through phone calls and I had to call about 6 times before someone finally answered. At one point they kept sending the calls to voicemail (which the inbox ended up being full). When we got there, I asked if we could sit indoors but the lady stated there was only a table available outside and that I should of requested indoor seating when I called. Other than that the food was good and the server was attentive and nice.

Pizza was amazing, the crust was light and the chew was just right. I would also recommend asking for a side of marinara sauce to dip your crust into. Makes every bite a little more yummy.

Then the buona forchetta, literally the name of the place, with the fettuccine blew me away. The noodles were in a creamy sauce that was rich but not too heavy. It comes with a side of extra grated parmesan cheese as well if you wanted more cheesy delight. Overall great food.

Fantastic as always. The standard rotation of pizzas are always good, plus there are always a bunch of rotating specials that are unique and delicious. Kid and family friendly, but there are also a number of good secluded tables for date night. For dessert try the gelato; it's delicious.

Wow. Amazing food, great service! My wife has gluten and dairy allergies - we checked ahead of time, but the wait staff was amazing with us. Our server went through her allergies and made sure the kitchen knew. My wife was able to have 'real pizza' for the first time in a long time. Our server was amazing, but so were all of the others. If you had an empty plate, water or drink got low, etc.whichever server noticed took care of it. Can't say enough good things.

They weren't enough servers that day, so the food quality was poor. My husband saw them serving tap water to customers, we decided to order sparkling water instead. Usually we came for dinner often, but today we are not satisfied.

Excellent service and food. Was very busy because of the weekend. But had a wonderful time there.

This place absolutely blew our minds. Best spaghetti carbonara we've ever had. The pizza Juna was a revelation. The pizza itself was bigger than we expected and the use of the trendy spicy honey was flavor twist homerun.

Great service and atmosphere, big portions using high end ingredients. Unlike some other places, the food you order actually looks as beautiful as the photos on their website. Highly recommend making a reservation for early evening. We first tried walking up to the host after 7pm on a weekend on our last trip to SD a few months back. Two hour wait! We learned our lesson. This time we made a reservation for 5: 30pm last Saturday. When we arrived it was not yet busy, by the time we left it was slammed.

Bonus: Recommend the panna cotta for dessert if it is available. It was a stunningly beautiful presentation. Something out of high end fine dining.

Lo e! Live! Love this place! Everything is always perfect. Service is friendly and food arrives quickly and tastes wonderful!

Very good food. Also the mango Bellini tasted very good. Got the meatballs and one of the thousand options for pizza. Another part of my group got the calamari and they liked it. Also some lasagna which I tried and was good as well.

Place was packed! 1-2 hours wait time. They offer to go so we ordered two pizzas to go. Pizza was awesome. Hopefully next time we can eat out pizza right out of oven.

Amazing food! I lived in Italy and just moved back to the US this year. This really did taste just like the food in Italy. The pizza here was the closest I've had to authentic Neopolitan pizza outside of Naples! Seriously, the pizza is Molta Buona! This place is wonderful. The location and atmosphere is perfect, the staff is friendly, and the food is top notch!

The food was good, we had the fresh made pasta with the house sauce, a pizza and appetizer. Nice customer service, fast and efficient! I just wish the tables had a little bit more space, it's like a puzzle trying to fit all those cups and plates. Our first table had some kind of liquid in the chair and since it was dark I didn't notice until I sat down. Our server apologized and try to fix the situation right away.

This place is like taking a step into Northern Italy, and you can’t go wrong with any of their plates. They truly make each dish so unique and wonderful, and make your time worthwhile. Great for casual lunches or romantic date nights, its a great spot for all occasions.

Had an amazing time! Giacomo was our server and he was a pleasure to be around.

We ordered amatriciana with fettuccini, sergio pizza and grilled rapini with garlic.

Everything was fantastic but what made it extra special was the wonderful Italian hospitality from our server Giacomo!

Super slow. Hostess could not figure out where people should wait and was unable to answer any questions about ordering for take out.
