Best Wine Bars in Rancho Bernardo

First time customers. Anniversary dinner for my wife and me. Really all-around a great experience. Friendly, attentive staff. Good cocktails. Very tasty appetizer (artichokes). Excellent and large salads (caprese and roasted beet). Superb dinner (salmon and the free-range chicken). Because it was our anniversary, we were served a complimentary and really good dessert (tiramisu). A great evening. We will be coming back.

The dinner was delicious, I was looking forward to lamb but I guess they changed up their menu or it changes on a regular basis. I had fettuccine alfredo and my date had scallops. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The staff was very attentive and welcoming, the wine selection was very good, we both had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon that I had never had before, it was not the normal profile of a Cab Sav that I would enjoy (dry) it was sweet, but not too sweet and paired perfectly with the alfredo, it did not over power it. I will definitely be visiting again for special occasions or when I need to treat myself.

We 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.

Memorable holiday lunch w/out-of-town family. Always a pleasant experience with good food.

Loved it!! Vibe was amazing, wine was amazing, food was amazing!
