Buona Forchetta - Encinitas

First time there but won't be our last! Everything was delicious from the bread they give as soon as you're seated, the garlic focaccia, chicken Alfredo and the pasta with their house sauce. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. We had a reservation and had no problem being seated right away.

Sadly, BF used to be better. The salad and the calamari were pretty good, but our main meals were just meh. The pasta was dry on top like it had been sitting under a heat lamp too long, the pizza was underdone so the crust was soggy, and the waiter never came back to check if we needed anything. We tried to ask for parmesan cheese but no we couldn't flag anyone down. The food is just ok - but probably will go back on a weekday when it isn't so busy.

Love this place! Found this hidden gem a few years ago. And had to come back today for my birthday (all the way from Los Angeles. ) so good!

Great food. Pizza is a must. Absolutely delicious. The Cacio E Pepe was good but needed some extra seasoning for me. The tiramisu was delicious. Our server was amazing and attentive. Food definitely comes out fast. Will definitely be back next time we are in Encinitas.

Great little restaurant, with excellent food and a definite ambience/feeling of a trattoria you would find in Italy

Very cute restaurant and the food was fantastic. We were sitting pretty close to the people next to us. It was also pretty hot in the restaurant. We would definitely like to try it again.

The best pizza in San Diego if you're looking for a traditional Neapolitan style. We love it here. Ultra fresh, high quality food for an amazing price point. We're always pleasantly surprised by our bill after how much we enjoy our meal.

Food was excellent!!! The artichoke hearts I'm still dreaming about. Eggplant parm tastes like my Mama's. Chris our waiter, as well as all the support staff were kind, tentative and made for a great experience.. it's a smaller resturant so a bit loud if you're looking for quiet spot this may be a bit much. But, the vibe is fun and makes ya think of Sunday supper!

Amazing pizza. Lovely staff. Bustling at night. Never disappoints. Great casual pizza place.

We arrived a little early although we were greeted and seated very quickly. The Super Tuscan wine and bread kept us satisfied until our guests were able to join us. Very good Pasta dishes and deserts. Reception and service exceptional. Good vibe here.

I had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was super friendly and really welcoming.

Exceptional gluten free pizza. They even had GF focaccia! The GF crust is made on-site. Felt like an authentic Italian restaurant. Well done.

They have the best Italian food in North County. Their pizza is the best. We love the artichokes, an appetizer that is just like the way they are served in Italy. We are Italian and go to Italy often so we know good Italian food.

When you ask your server whether your pizza is GF you know it's THE BEST GF PIZZA in town!

Food was just okey the service was far from impressive. The staff seemed uninterested and gave off a bad attitude, which made the entire experience feel uncomfortable. Overall, it didn’t meet expectations, and I doubt I’ll be returning anytime soon.
