Buona Forchetta

Just tried this place for the first time tonight for my birthday. While the food was good, not impressive, what was really disappointing was the service. Our waiter about messed up everything about our order, was very unhelpful, and majorly rushed us. First, our appetizer never came. We ordered wine and got beer. We ordered a pasta, and a different pasta came. It was only then that he told us that we couldn't have the pasta we ordered because they only have one gluten free option which was different. We would've totally changed what sauce and toppings we got because we chose them based on the pasta shape. Also we were harassed when ordering, he came over three times when we kept saying we needed more time and never offered if he could help us make a decision either. We were gonna have dessert but after all that we just decided to go somewhere else to get my birthday dessert. Super unfortunate.

Got reservations to Forchetta for my birthday and a friend's birthday celebration dinner! Man, we were not disappointed at all, and this place surprised me immensely. Great flavors on EVERY dish. There was not one dish we had that had bad taste at all. The service was on it the entire night as well! What we got - Foccacia Garlic Bread and Gluten-Free Garlic Bread, Meatballs, and the Juno pizza as appetizers. The Juno was phenomenal. It's a great pack of punch and flavor with a wonderful fluffy crust. The bread had great crunch and TONS of garlic flavor! Meatballs can't go wrong. Just get them. Main courses, we of course, had to the pasta and ended up choosing their Pappardella with the Buona Forchetta sauce, just do it. Make sure to get the handmade egg pasta! Friends got the pesto, cacio e pepe, and another meatball red sauce. Again, all wonderful. I'm definitely going back again to try more pasta and pizza. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
