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.

As always the food and service was great. The garlic bread and meatballs are our favorite starter. Great flavor and the meatballs are very tender. The short rib lasagna and carbonara are hard to choose between. The noodles ara light and flavorful in both dishes. I always find lasagna heavy but not here. It tender with exactly the right amount of meat and cheese. The carbonara is perfection. I like to add peas.
