Buona Forchetta - Encinitas

Food was delicious. However, we were rushed during our stay, with the server interrupting multiple times about removing plates off the table. Half the time, the plates weren't even cleared and he could clearly see that we were still eating. Our reservation was at 1, and we were somewhat rushed throughout our stay, leaving around 2:15, despite their closing for lunch was at 3.

We sat in the side patio which was fine. Toasty warm with the heaters. Still quite noisy for conversation. Our Waiter was great, very attentive and prompt. We love the gluten free focaccia bread and pizza. Our waiter's recommendation for wine was spot on. I wish I could remember his name. We will be back.

We were asked at 7:40 to give up our table. I find this to be very rude and had we been told when I made the reservation that we were limited we would've not come . I made a reservation weeks in advance for a girlfriend‘s birthday . Two of the woman had driven down from LA for the dinner. We would've liked to have sat and had coffee and conversation and yet we were asked to leave . I don't think we'll be going back

Great pizza but they don't offer the table bread anymore and also they don't have the chocolate mousse dessert even though they still have it on the website

Great food, per usual! Can't go wrong here. I recommend EVERYTHING on their menu. Even the specials!

Reservations are a must. Tight quarters whether you're a table for 2-4-6-8. It's not roomy. Street side tables but I don't recommend them. Food is great tasting. The fish dishes are underrated and good portions. Lasagna was a bit disappointing. Some many other places are better. Good value though. Don't like to get played........ordered 2 glasses of red wine. Brought the bottle to the table and poured the 2 glasses. Left the bottle on the table without asking us. Ended up charging us for the full bottle.

Amazing food and service as usual from the best Italian restaurant in SoCal. Encinitas is their best location, and our family has been to all of them. We were accommodated by the manager with our group getting bigger and they gave us the large room downstairs. Wonderful hospitality, great food , they let us sync up a speaker so we played our own music. Just felt like family. So glad to see them thriving and succeeding.

Excellent service and food! The pizzas are large enough for a hungry couple! Best fresh pizza crust! My salad could have fed all 4 of us.... Fresh and delicious. Side outdoor patio takes you off the curb patio out front which is nice.... It was just ok with its design.

If you are looking for a great gluten-free crust look no further. When I brought home the leftovers my son couldn't even tell that it was a gluten-free crust! Toppings are fresh and delicious. Plenty of room for large parties even on a busy Saturday after 2 PM.

Exceptional service and food was amazing!! Celebrated a birthday and they even brought out delicious flan.

Best gluten free pizza ever. The chef managed to create a recipe that puffs up just like the regular crusts. Absolutely divine.

Superb service Excellent food quality Chairs uncomfortable Overall great experience Will recommend and will return

Sat outside. Only complaint is food came much too fast. Even though we had appetizers, we were in and out in 40 minutes, and we don't eat fast.

Used to be amazing — now it's just OK food, rude service, and an unwelcoming vibe. The warmth and charm from two years ago is gone, and I left wondering why I came back.

There was a racist sitting at the table behind us, drunk telling stories about Koreans. She was an old white lady, drunk and loud. That completely tainted our experience. She was loudly telling her racist stories go the Italian waiter. So gross. The food was mediocre too. The seafood pasta was meh.
