Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Officine Buona Forchetta delights with authentic Italian cuisine, "the closest you'll get to food in Italy." Guests praise the gluten-free pizza as "the best in San Diego." While the ambiance can be noisy, the outdoor patio offers a charming setting. Service is generally excellent, though experiences vary.

    Just not as expected. We were squeezed in a corner outside and it was SOOOOO loud we could barely hear ourselves talk. Planes going over every 2 minutes and kids screaming at the table 1 foot away. Food was nothing special. Service only came in the beginning and then to give us the check. She completely forgot my drink. And then when I wanted to divide the check a certain way, she made a big deal that she had already divided it half on each card. And she would need to cancel and run it again. Will definitely not be going back.

    Superior Italian food in a casual setting. Enjoyed artichokes, polpette, eggplant, and bruschetta as starters. We each had our own favorite pizzas, and the desserts were fabulous-tiramisu, chocolate mousse and cannolis! Service was great! As was the wine!

    We will definitely come back. Noise was contributed in part by the airport flybuys. But also it was very busy. Food and service were excellent, so what more can you ask for.

    Server seemed distracted and was not paying attention to our order. The eggplant parmesan was a soggy mess.
