   This was our second time at Buona Forchetta. We enjoyed the lively patio and delicious food! The pizza list is quite extensive. The pizza dough is perfection! We also enjoyed Gian Carlo as our server! He’s always smiling and has great energy! We’ll be back!

   The menu is a bit limited "for my tastes" but the fried pizza is excellent and the pasta carbonara is delicious. So for those two things, we will definitely be back.

   Terrible host, she made us stand in the freezing cold for 20 minutes past our reservation on my birthday just to get a specials menu. The table was wide open and we could see the specials menu on a stand and told her we were fine to just order off the regular menu. She still made us wait and was very rude. Ruined the experience, especially on my birthday

   To say this place is loud is an understatement. I couldn’t hear my GF from across the table. Food was underwheling.

    After sitting at a table for 2, the chairs has a round back so every woman in the restaurant has to put their purse on their lap. We ordered 2 appetizers and a main dish and they brought ALL of it almost at the same time. No room on the table, and part of the food gets cold because we can’t eat it fast enough. They were apparently rushing us to come in and get out. The noise level was a 5. Food was average.
