  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

Why we love it

This easygoing Italian restaurant has five locations all over San Diego that specialize in Neapolitan-style pizzas and northern Italian staples. It’s loved by the area’s families for kid-friendly touches: Pasta dishes can be ordered in smaller portions, and the restaurant’s Liberty Station location has two play areas, plus a vintage red Fiat converted into a dining table.

    Eggplant parmesan is still the BEST! Our friends say the tiramisu is best they've had!

    I went for my birthday dinner and the service was poor. The waiter did not take our drink order and his service over all was poor. I left very dissatisfied with the dining experience.

    We enjoyed a casual dinner including a shared appetizer and pizza. The appetizer was prosciutto, cantaloupe and burrata cheese that was perfect on a warm summer night. The pizza with prosciutto, mushrooms and artichoke heart toppings was delicious. The tomato sauce is fresh and light and the crust is wonderful. Our service was very good too.

    Extremely fast service for our group of 7. We sat outside and it was very loud since it was a full house. Delicious food and decent drinks.
