The food is authentic and very good. The artichokes are just perfect. Pizza is excellent. Cannoli and tiramisu were very good as well. I recommend this restaurant if you want to have a non expensive, authentic Italian meal.

They use medium tomatoes, like from Walmart. Zero interest and pleasantness to the customer after the bill is paid.

We truly enjoy going here. This was my dad's favorite restaurant. Would continue to eat here because of the great food and the memories that were created with my dad.

Really good slices
The most disgusting food I’ve ever eaten, please change the recipe to not taste like old man skin. I spit it out immediately and both of my siblings hated it as well.

Contamination alert.
I ordered two gluten free pizzas and mentioned it was for a person with celiac. The team member who answered the phone said “we are not an allergy friendly kitchen” and “there will be cross contamination.”
I appreciate the warning but why are they charging $3 extra for gluten free pizza if they are certain it will not be gluten free when it is served? This is dishonest at minimum and would be dangerous to people with a genuine medical need.
Of course this is a regular kitchen where there is regular pizza and regular flour, but usually the $3 covers the cost of the special ingredients and restaurants will say they make every effort to avoid cross contamination (and are usually proud to offer this).
This one isn’t making the effort. Disappointing, unsafe, embarrassing.
To be honest, we seldom eat on site. We have a great view at home and we have dogs so that’s where we go! But the food is great. The people are friendly and helpful. I get the gluten-free pizza, and it’s extremely good- one of the best gluten-free I’ve ever had. I’m sure it’s not OK for celiac people, because they do have non-gluten-free there too, but that is not my situation.
Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten-free pizza, but I’m not sure if it would be OK if you were celiac.

We love Forchettabouddit! Our go-to menu items are the Caesar Salad, Penne with Vodka Sauce and Meatball, and the pizza(s)!

Forchettabouddit is a very nice, cozy and an informal place to eat really great and yummy food.
Last night we had dinner here and everything we ate was yummy. We had the risotto with creamy Gorgonzola, mushrooms, and sausage, it was excellent. We had cheese pizza, huge mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, focaccia bread that was really great. We also had the gnocchi with pesto sauce, gnocchi with the regular red sauce. We also had butter sauce ravioli which was also very yummy.
Also many gluten free dishes
For dessert we tried the tiramisu that was exquisite.
Kudos to the chefs for everything they rock. Everything was very yummy. And the server was very nice and attentive.
Highly recommended!!

This is a sister restaurant to Buona Forchetta! They’ve been around for 2 years and they converted to a sit down restaurant from a small quick order shop.If you’re seeking an authentic taste of Italian heritage, look no further than Classic Italian New York Pizza. This pizzeria delivers the quintessential New York pizza experience with its perfect blend of tradition, flavor, and simplicity.The pizza here is nothing short of exceptional. Each slice boasts a thin, yet sturdy crust that’s crispy on the outside and a soft, pillowy inside. The tomato sauce is tangy and rich, made from fresh, quality ingredients, while the cheese melts to a perfect gooey consistency, offering that unmistakable New York pizza stretch.Staying true to its roots, Classic Italian pizza uses time-honored recipes and cooking techniques. The dough is baked in traditional pizza ovens, ensuring each pie has the signature New York flavor and texture that pizza aficionados crave.The ambiance is casual, reminiscent of a classic New York pizza parlor. The friendly staff add to the charm, making each visit feel like stepping into a beloved neighborhood spot.The prices are reasonable, especially given the quality and authenticity of the pizza. Whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a whole pie, you’ll find excellent value for money.I was going to order pizza by the slice but the server enticed me to get the 12” pie (half Cobble Hill/half Bronx Bolognese) and thank god she did. The fresh baked pie came out hot and each bite was mouthwatering. The tiramisu was standard. I will be returning to try other flavors.
