Garage Buona Forchetta

We frequent Neapolitan style pizza restaurants like Bianco's and Cibo's in our home state and are pretty picky about this type of food. It was our first time visiting this establishment and I can say we 100 percent enjoyed our lunch here and highly recommend visiting. The service was impeccable. The restaurant was converted from an old mechanics garage and has a fun shop vibe going on. We ordered the polpettone (meatballs with sauce) with bread and Neapolitan pizza and it was all outstanding. The bread served with the meatballs was light, airy and warm in the middle and had that perfect chewy, yet crisp outer crust. We will be returning and definitely recommend this restaurant.

Astoundingly BAD Service We tried this restaurant twice, once for dinner and once for a midafternoon treat. The dinner experience was a mixed bag. The food, two pasta dishes, was excellent. What wasn’t excellent was the slow and forgetful service. First approach to the table: 7 minutes. No verbiage about specials (which we saw later and would have ordered), and a promise to return later for a cocktail order. Never returned for the order until after our meals were served (which took 28 minutes). Rendering the check also took a very long time. Had to track down the server for my printed receipt. The restaurant has a funky garage interior with vintage vehicles placed throughout. Cleanliness is below average. Trip two at 2:14 pm. Initial approach: slow. We ordered two cocktails, were told the ingredients for one weren’t available. No problem, we ordered a different cocktail. The waiter took the order via handheld device so the order went in immediately. He then took food orders for two other tables. After those two tables received their food after 22 minutes we got up to speak with the bar tender to ask about our drinks. One was prepared the other was “coming right up”. 7 minutes later the single drink that had been sitting on the bar was brought to the table, the other? “It’s on the way” We left. Despite the food being very good, the service is so bad we cannot recommend.

Found this nice little place on a day trip to Coronado with my daughter . I had the Eva pizza, and it was amazing. My daughter had a custom pizza, which she loved. We also tried their garlic bread, which was also good. We sat outside, and the weather was perfect the staff was friendly amd they don't rush you out . Would highly recommend. We will be coming back to try the pasta next

It’s rare in the US to find great vegan options at a place that is not 100% vegan. I stumbled across this place only because I’d parked across the street the day before. I do not say this lightly as I’ve eaten great pizzas in many countries but I think the vegan pizza I had here was the best pizza I’ve EVER tasted. The ingredients were incredible. It was perfect. The staff were great. I ordered as a take away so I could sit outside and it was one of the best food decisions I’ve ever made. Highly recommended 🙌🏼

The food is amazing!!! And I'm wow picky when it comes to Italian food. Made us miss Italia more than we already do. The bartenders & servers all speak Italian and gave the best recommendations. Fabrizio was a talented bartender with excellent suggestions for food & drink. Atmosphere was eclectic and not typical of an Italian restaurant. So fun and casual. We ordered from the chefs specials and apps of burrata w/prosciutto & foccacia w/ garlic. Sad it was our last night in the area because I would've loved to have come back to try more menu options. Pizza looked amazing! Thanks for such a fun experience!

Got a margherita pizza, lasagna, and gnocci with a brownie and ice cream for dessert. Dont ask for parmesean cheese on your margherita pizza. Cheese on the lasagna was legit. Vanilla ice cream on the brownie top quality. Brownie was absolutely perfect- soft on the inside with a little crunchy texture on the outside served with fresh strawberry slices and some blueberries. Best damn brownie and ice cream I've ever had at a restaurant.

Overall we had a good experience here. My husband ordered the buona forechetta and it was great, nice and creamy with good flavor. I ordered the carbonara and unfortunately it was dry, the noodles were sticking together still. The meatball was also dry but my 1 year old enjoyed it. We enjoyed the chocolate mousse it was very rich.

My partner and I both agreed they have the best gluten free pizza crust! The calamari was also one of the best we’ve tried. Glad we make a reservation because there seemed to be a line
