" Wonderful spot! The atmosphere was buzzing, and the food lived up to the hype. I particularly enjoyed the calamari appetizer and the Nicola pizza. Prices were fair considering the quality of food. Service was good; they did forget our drinks at one point, but the overall experience was positive. I would gladly return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a dinner at Buona Forchetta last night, and while the food was good, we encountered some hiccups in service. The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. Our pizza arrived late, but when it did, it was delicious. The environment is cozy and inviting, making it a great place for casual dining. I'd come again but hope the service is quicker next time.

" This is hands down one of my favorite pizza joints in town! The dough is phenomenal—light and fluffy, just as it should be. Each bite feels like a taste of Italy. Plus, they have great gluten-free options for anyone who needs them. The service is typically friendly, but you may need to be patient during busy hours. Definitely going back soon!

" For anyone who loves authentic Italian food, Buona Forchetta is a true gem! The menu offers a fantastic variety, and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. The service is also fantastic, making you feel genuinely welcomed. The portion sizes are just right too—not overwhelming but still satisfying. Can't wait to return and explore more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here with a group, and while the food quality was generally good, we had a few inconsistent dishes. The pizzas were fantastic, but the risotto was undercooked. The atmosphere is vibrant, though it does get very loud at times. Overall, a decent place to grab a meal, but stepping it up in consistency would make it exceptional. " (*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!
