There are no kid-friendly menu options, and the environment did not feel welcoming to families. While moving a stroller in a tight space, there was accidental contact with another patron who became aggressive. Staff chose to apologize to the aggressor rather than support a family with children, which made us feel unsafe and dismissed.
Food was average at best, especially compared to other Italian restaurants we’ve had.

Garage Buona Forchetta is a laid-back Italian restaurant known for its delicious dishes and a large, interesting interior. The restaurant is family-friendly and features a great environment. The service is very good, with many customers praising the friendly staff. Eladia, Marco, and their team do a wonderful job, making diners feel spoiled during their visits. The drinks, particularly the carajillo and house red wine (Sangiovese) by the glass, are highly regarded. The restaurant offers a wide selection of wood-fired pizzas and pastas, including fresh pasta, though the pizza and appetizers received mixed reviews, with some finding them just okay. The pesto pasta and carbonara also had varied opinions, but many enjoyed the gluten-free and vegan options available. Diners have praised the eggplant appetizer, the salmon piccata special, and the risotto beef cheeks, which are highly recommended. The Spaghetti Puttanesca is also a dish that comes highly recommended. Nonna's cheese cake and panna cotta remain popular dessert choices. The atmosphere is delightful, especially when dining outside under a tent, though some guests have noted it can get very loud. Overall, it's a fun spot with responsive service, although there have been reports of reservation issues and some confusion with changing wait staff during meals.
