- DDanielleVIPSan Diego •18 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWonderful service and the food was amazing! The price is a bit high but it’s a coastal restaurant. It is a lively place with the bar and the piano was playing but the perfect level of volume even in the dining room.More infoVigilucci's Trattoria ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Encinitas•4.8
- RRichardVIPSan Diego •23 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe heard that their gluten-free pizza was good. We were pleased to find that it was better than most we have tried in San Diego. Crust had better taste and better texture. As with most gluten-free crust it was more difficult than pizza dough to cut with a knife, but eating a slice held by hand worked very well. The menu was filled with choices. We liked the atmosphere at Buona Forchetta and we especially liked the attentive help we received as first time customers. We definitely will be coming back. Next time we will try the gluten-free pasta and gnocchi.More infoBuona Forchetta EncinitasPrice: Moderate• Italian• Encinitas•4.7
