Homemade pasta was excellent. Loved the fettuccine Alfredo. Tasted very authentic. Owners made sure to talk with us and they were also lovely
It's fire - garlic bread and pizza some of the best I've had.
Service and atmosphere on point as well - thank you!

Delicious. The sauce was exquisite and the pasta so light! I had the lasagne, which was so good I had to steal my father’s pizza crust to clean up the plate with. Really, really good.

Located in Encinitas, Forchettina offers an authentic Italian dining experience. This family-owned gem serves organic fresh food prepared daily by a talented passionate chef and owner. The warm and genuine service, provided by a very young and friendly owner and staff, creates a beautiful atmosphere. The pizzas have been the best ever tasted, including the Parma Pizza which was melt in your mouth delicious. Other standout dishes include the Italia pizza, the greek salad, artichokes, and the Eggplant Parmigiana sandwich. The best calamari, with breading just right and squid so soft and fresh, is a must-try. The spaghetti with arrabbiata sauce and chick offers a perfect spice level and tastes homemade. The picante pizza, with olives and jalapeno, is great. For dessert, the tiramasu is incredible. The staff provides outstanding service, even immediately exchanging a flat glass of prosecco for a fresh one. Arrive early for dinner by 5:30 as this place gets busy, or make a reservation if dining later. Forchettina is the closest to authentic Italian cuisine in SoCal.
