Unfussy, warm outlet offering Italian wood-fired pies, homemade pasta & salads plus wine & beer.
"With multiple locations from South Park to Encinitas, this standout Italian restaurant has plenty of antipasti, pizzas, lasagnas, and build-your-own pastas to justify its expansion across the county. Check out the daily specials, which often feature cioppino with the freshest seafood catches of the day. Also notable are its gluten-free pies, which hold up even without the doppio-zero flour." - Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
"All outposts of the Buona Forchetta restaurant group including Encinitas has to-go and delivery options. The condensed menu includes 30% off bottles of wine." - Darlene Horn
"Buona Forchetta is one of the restaurants mentioned as part of the growing dining scene in Encinitas, which is becoming a destination dining area." - Candice Woo
"Buona Forchetta, an Italian restaurant now open in Encinitas, offers a cozy dining experience with a small side patio and a gold-tiled pizza oven. The menu remains consistent with the original South Park location, featuring longstanding favorites and new seafood dishes." - Candice Woo
