    Our wait person was not good. He ignored us, we had to ask for things several times over, and he never apologised once.

    The entrées did not come at the same time. We’re not well seasoned at all. I had fettuccine with clams. The clams were not well cooked and poorly seasoned overall sub optimal meal. We will not be back again.

    The food was amazing! I don't generally order ravioli but we were trying items from the pre-fixe menu for a wedding rehearsal dinner. The ravioli special (cheese with butter, sage and guanciale) was mouthwateringly delicious and will be my to go choice any time I go to Buona Forchetta! Pizza had my favorite kind of crust - light and crunchy and so tasty, and the pasta with pesto was truly the best I've ever eaten. I can't wait to host the rehearsal dinner here!

    Nice selection of pastas and pizzas, along with Italian wines. The service was excellent. The patio is dog friendly, which was objectionable with barking dogs.

    Our food was delicious and Simone was outstanding! The airplane noise is pretty loud - it was constant throughout our lunch.

    I will start with the service. There was a bug and a hair in two of the water glasses. I sat down before party arrived and it took 20 min for an aperol spritz. I asked for no salmon in my seafood dish…loaded with salmon. I spent about 100$ and the only thing I would recommend is the burratta and tomatoes.
