Great Neapolitan pizza restaurant. Prompt, friendly, efficient service. Excellent pizza, try the Puttanesca. Good beers and Italian sodas. Fun atmosphere with a garage theme. I will try the pasta next time.

I am so sorry that they have a singer with the music so loud, you go to have a nice dinner and chat with fruends and that singer and her music are too loud, it could have a background music but not such a loud noise, i am sorry for your restaurant, such a great food and service, but bad taste for loud music. Hope they correct it.

Great Sunday lunch with friends! Service outstanding and food great as always. Why, though, do restaurants feel the need to put up creepy, ugly Halloween decorations? It does zero to create a “festive” atmosphere and detracts from the ambience.

Love the “family” feel, the outdoor Italian ambiance, Marco, the manager and his very sweet female partner, can’t recall her name ;-) and the staff. Always love seeing our “cheese man” too! We always take family and friends there or just go on a date with my husband and I.

The food was OK. The service was OK. We had to wait quite a long time to get any of our food or drinks. We were here several years ago and it was amazing so maybe just this one time wasn’t as good

Another excellent dinner at Garage Buona Forchetta! We love that the garage has craft cocktails, I had the specialty Lemon Spritz which was excellent! We tried the vegetarian lasagna for the first time and it’s probably the best lasagna I have had! Rich, creamy, and flavorful. The waitstaff are helpful but give you a lot of space to take your time, which we enjoy. The outside dining is much quieter than inside, and the weather is always mild in Coronado. They have heaters if needed. They sent out a little panna cotta for our anniversary, which was a nice touch. We keep coming back!

Phenomenal, as always. Food is incredible and service outstanding. A group of us play pickleball in Coronado twice a month and we have descended upon Garage for lunch each time and LOVE it. This week was a birthday celebration and Matteo and Marco went BEYOND to be helpful and made it so special. Grazie Buona Forchetta Family!

Our server was outstanding and the musician was great fun. Once again, however, we were seated at a table where half of our party looked at an astroturf screen, which is barely acceptable. The pappardelle one of our party was served was mushy and disappointing. We were celebrating a birthday so when we were offered Lemoncello at the end of our meal we assumed it was complimentary, as is traditional at many Italian restaurants so were surprised to be charged $10 per glass.
