Buona Forchetta started in 2011 as a craving of Matteo’s to bring some of his native Italy to our adopted home of South Park. We found the perfect corner and built the perfect oven. Since then, we’ve strived to deliver an exceptional and authentic Italian experience to our customers keeping our focus on the simple recipes that Matteo grew up on. We owe a huge “grazie” to our neighbors who have joined us on this awesome journey, and we hope that you will continue to be part of our story.

    Great food! Staff were lovely and food came out promptly, the passion fruit cervice was an absolute standout, but all dishes were great. We dined here with kids, and definitely suggest adding a kids menu in future as there weren’t any suitable options for kids (and ours are not picky eaters). Even a few basic sushi rolls would’ve sufficed or plain chicken and rice. That being said, we ordered the mole chicken with sauce on the side (i tried some and it was delicious) which filled them up enough. I would absolutely eat here again!

    Very good culinary experience. they make their own bread daily and pasta weekly. The quality of food was exceptional, service was a little choppy, but they recovered well with 3 different servers helping us. Prices were reasonable for the quality you get. Wine was awesome.

    We met old friends for a weekday lunch at the South Park location of Buona Forchetta. The food was outstanding (as always) and the service was prompt and attentive. I had what may have been the most delicious pesto pasta I've ever tasted, and all the dishes were terrific. The artichokes antipasti were also a huge hit. Friends were visiting from out of town and absolutely loved it. Great job!
