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.

    When I take members of San Diego Foodies & Carlsbad Foodies to do a Restaurant Review, all I want to know is what their recommendations are. (I want you to know what's your order when you go). And with this particular review, I want you to know this is an experience. It's not just eating. The ambience is unbelievably good. Dark, mysterious, religious yet romantic. We decide on a variety of appetizers. Lucky for us, 3 of the 6 people (Rich, Garrett, Stacy) are experienced Oaxacan eaters that are either from Mexico or have spent time there eating. The items we order and present here are in the order of which people really enjoyed Ensalada Exotica, Squash Blossom, Memelita - duck carnitas and Tamal. "My absolute favorite is the duck" Rich says. Hiroe adds:"I would never guess this is duck". Good Mole" Hiroe adds. Squash Blossoms ~ Elizabeth says: "It's delicious". Garret says: "The mushrooms make the dish. It's unexpected". Hiroe adds: "The mushrooms make it meaty". Garret says we should eat the sweet potato on top of the blossom and contrast the the flavor of the earthy vegetables". He continues: "I've had squash blossoms in Mexico and this is the best I've had". Elizabeth loves the Tamarind Sauce on the Ensalada Exoctica. "That's my favorite of the night". Rich adds: "The salad is like a tropical salad. I really like it". Hitlacoche Tamal - Beans, Cashew Spicy Cream Stacy says: The Tamal is amazing! Pulpo Octopus Mole and Corn Nuts Lentil Spread Tuna Tostada Rich says: "After just one bite the Tuna Tostada is my favorite. The food here is authentic". The Flan is like a creme brûlée with a topping.. It certainly is a mouthful! "Delightful" says Rich. "I love the seeds". Elizabeth adds: "I like the it's hard, but at the same time soft". "It's savory & Sweet" adds Hiroe. "I'm stuffed", I add, as I take another bite. This certainly was an experience you should try! Chef Marian🥂 San Diego Foodies Carlsbad Foodies

    This dining experience was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had in my life. Everything was delicious, flavorful and memorable. We specifically loved the dip, seasonal special with peaches, and the pappardelle and Ravioli pasta and the watermelon, feta salad is something I will think about until the next time I come to San Diego to have it! The lamb chops, the Seabass and the Aleppo chicken is must have if at all possible.  Thanks to Ingrid. who took great care of us and guided us through our selections!
