" I was very excited to try Buona Forchetta based on its reputation for authentic Italian cuisine. The outdoor seating was pleasant, but the service left a bit to be desired; we waited quite a while for our drinks and appetizers. Despite the slow start, my pasta was delightful, creamy, and rich. The dessert we had, a panna cotta, was decent too, but not the best I've had. Overall, it was a good experience, but the service could use some improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here on a whim after hearing good things, and I wasn't let down! The pizza was delicious, with a nice crust and quality toppings. We had a great server who made our experience enjoyable. The only downside was the wait, but the food was worth it. I can see why this place has such a following, and I’ll definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed with my visit. The service was slow, and my pizza was soggy and unappetizing. It felt rushed, like they were pushing tables through. On a positive note, the ambiance is great, and the outdoor seating was delightful. However, I expected more on the food front given previous reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall, though not without its hiccups. Our food came promptly, but the atmosphere was a bit too loud for my liking. The pizza tasted great, though! I appreciated they have vegan options as well, making it friendly for everyone. A solid choice for a casual dinner, but I might choose to take away next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has truly captured the essence of Italian dining! The Margherita pizza was out of this world, and I could feel the warmth of Italy with each bite. The ingredients are fresh, and the crust was perfectly baked to a crisp. The service was friendly and attentive, making our visit even more enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back for more delicious meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night we celebrated our anniversary at Buona Forchetta, and it couldn't have been better! The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was exceptional—every course brought something special to the table. I highly recommend the eggplant tortino for a starter, and the pizza was just divine. A perfect spot for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been living in San Diego for years, and I’ve come to find Buona Forchetta to be a gem for authentic Italian cuisine. Each pizza I’ve tried has been delicious and the portions are satisfying. You can taste the quality of ingredients they use. I keep recommending this restaurant to my friends and they love it just as much as I do! " (*Curated Review*)
