Everything was amazing! Loved the coffee. Staff is very nice. Food had great presentation and fabulous flavor. We enjoyed the decorations and layout of the place which is a restaurant converted from a car repair garage.

Let me say this was by far amazing. I lived in Italy for 2 years and I was craving good food. My server Mateo was a God send my dinner was not on the menu I asked for a mushroom risotto, and the kitchen deliverd it just melted in my mouth. The atmosphere was was nice and service at the right pace I was able to enjoy all my food. Any time I come back to San Diego I am going here.

The pesto sauce is incredible! And the pasta was all really good too. Great cocktails at a fair price. Very cool atmosphere: as the name suggests, it’s in an old mechanics garage with themed decor.

This is a must try if your in the area. If you like pizza you’ll love this restaurant. Great selection of pizza the dough is fresh and cook to perfection a little crispy but yet soft. Sauce and meats are season perfectly. Nice selection of wine and beers. They serve salads and pasta. Will definitely go back to try other dishes. I had to post the pictures in the women’s bathroom, hilarious!

Awesome food and great service. We started with the focaccia and burata. The cheese was delicious, and the tomatoes were fresh. The focaccia had a great texture, and was very flavorful. For entrees, we had a Daniela pizza, which is mozzarella, brie, and speck with red sauce. The crust had a delicious char, and the toppings were fresh and complimented each other well. We also had the chicken pesto gnocchi which was my personal favorite dish. The pesto was delicious, and the pine nuts were a great addition to the texture and flavor of the dish. For dessert we had Tira misu and cannoli, both were excellent. We’ll definitely come back next time we’re in town

Buona Forchetta is great little Italian restaurant. We were seated outside which is heated and the vibe was great. We ordered Eva and Teepoo pizzas which both were tasty, Teepoo was a touch more delicious . We really enjoyed the food, service and the ambiance.

We came to garage to celebrate my mom’s birthday! It was a treat to really enjoy some truly delicious Italian food while I was in town visiting. Their daily specials were innovative and unique ! And I think what my parents really loved was their ability to customize their pasta dishes as one should be able to!
