This is our favorite Italian restaurant in this area. They are vegan friendly, and the food is delicious.They have a small selection of vegan pizzas and have vegan cheese.My husband is from Chicago, so picky about his pizza. So far, their flatbread, is the only pizza he's found that is likes.We've ordered to-go for two large events over the past three years and everyone loved the food.

The food was super delicious and super fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. The female server and staff were attentive but let us enjoy our time and have a true Italian meal. Thank you.Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free options and the server was well versed in what was whatKid-friendliness: Mostly adults for dinner but well-behaved or older kids would be fine.

Buona forchetta is known for having a long line however their staff clearly don’t care about the customers. They told us we would have a seat quickly but after 40 minutes waiting they said there wouldn’t be a seat for 30 more minutes. We asked if we could split the party they said no. We asked to be two different parties and they pretended not to hear us. Very rude and unprofessional not giving a wait time. We wouldn’t have come here if we knew. Go to San Marcos instead!!!

Normally, I don’t leave negative reviews but they were not careful at all with food intolerances so I’m leaving this so that people with food intolerances/allergies are careful before eating here. Also, the food wasn’t very good.

Starting out with the service, could not have been any better, A+, very attentive, waiter, guy from Venezuela, drinks came right away pizza ordered came with it about four minutes, and perfect timing was my linguine and Bolognese, excellent, just like my grandmother made, this place is a true treasure 5 o’clock when it opened there were 30 people waiting in line, there’s a reason for that, that’s my new hotspot, love, this place everything about it was top shelfParking: Tons of parking across the street not an issue, just be careful lots of traffic

We've been to Buono Forchetta many times. It's consistently good and often excellent. I usually order the pasta Bolognese but last night the house made papparadelle with fresh seafood was of the best dishes I've had there. Decent selection of wines and moderately priced. Overall this restaurant is a very good value and offers great, friendly service. Will continue coming back!

Always yummy!! Only funky thing was our table was right in front of the entrance. We walked in a different way so we weren't bothered by it until a couple of guests who were joining another party walked in that way. Other than that we love this place. Great service and amazing food!! Was craving it all day!!

Authentic Italian food. Local spot that is great for a casual dinner or a date night. Usually get the Angela with spicy honey.
