- SStevevipSan Diego •33 reviews4.0Dined on 23 Nov 2024A bit disappointed. Ordered lasagna, personal fave. It arrived barely hot enough. A[peared that it wasn't cooked to order. because the sauce on top was hotter than the lasagna underneath. So I guess it is precooked in large pans ahead of time, then cut and covered in more sauce. I could have waited till the server came back around to check and sent it back, but decided not to wait and just started eating. It was competent, not memorable.More infoBuona Forchetta - San MarcosPrice: Moderate• Italian• San Marcos•4.4
