Simply wonderful. Build your own pasta or pizza from fresh daily ingredients. This place came recommended to us from a business contact and didn’t fail to deliver. The waiter was attentive and charming. When the food arrived the portions were generous, but the star of the show was the flavor. Simple clean and sublime. Would highly recommend a visit here for date night or pretty much any other occasion.

Great ambience and nice decor! The food miss the flavor and taste, it tasted pretty bland. We ordered several options of pasta and pretty much everyone on the table had the same opinion that it lacked flavor.

I don’t know why, but I find myself daydreaming of this pizza at least once a week… Surprisingly, their ingredients are great quality! I think their dough might be the best I’ve had in North SD county, (and I am picky guys) the flavor is so good, it’s just perfectly crispy and soft. But their pizza sauce is the star- was friggin delicious!! Pizza is a little on the smaller side, but worth it.

We were very pleased with our overall experience. We sat on the patio with heaters it was comfortable even though it was cold. Much quieter than inside. Expect it to be noisy if you dine inside. If you have someone with mobility challenges it’s best to drop them off at the door and see them inside then go park. There is a garage nearby but it’s not convenient for someone with mobility challenges. We will be back, enjoyed it!

Overall, based on my experience, I can’t recommend Buona Forchatta’s San Marcos location (I’ve yet to try the other locations).

Decided to try this Italian restaurant. I was looking forward to trying their pizzas. We ordered 2 pasta dishes and 2 pizzas. The pastas were spaghetti amatriciana, and the other one was penne with buona forchetta sauce. Added meatballs to this last dish. The pizzas were the Lucia that was part of the specials and the Alessandro on the gourmet pizza section. Service was fast and the server was great. Out of the 2 pastas, the amatriciana was better than the buona forchetta. The buona forchetta sauce was very heavy. I liked the variety and combination of flavors in the pizzas but overall the pizzas were ok. I’m picky about the dough and this dough had too much of the burnt flavor that ruined the pizza for me, unfortunately.

It’s a lovely place with a good atmosphere. I think it might be overpriced for the food that you are getting. If you are getting pasta make sure you pick the homemade pasta it tastes so much better than the other pasta options . The parking kinda sucks but there’s free parking you just need to walk a little.

Had dinner here for my friend’s birthday, service was good the free bread and oil they bring you are good, I know it’s an Italian restaurant, but they had a rib eye steak on the menu so I went for it and my goodness did it not disappoint. I asked for it medium rare and that’s what I got tender juicy steak with a salad on the side. Ordered the cheesecake for dessert. It was not as creamy as I expected but still very tasty. I would go again.

Really damn good pizza! Amazing local beer & wine selection. It was quite busy so I got a seat at the bar, right in front of the tv. It’s a good place to watch the game. I’ll be back!

Yum!!! Had a pizza, after toiling over the many choices on the menu. The cannoli were amazing, done right. The dining room was loud, a little hard to hear conversation at the table.
