    Love that it is also a store for Italian goods. Had the gnocchi al pesto and the wife had penne ala carbonara. Love all the Buona Forchetta locations. Great Italian food! Grazie Millie (:

    Food is good, chaotic trying to check in for reservation and get seated. Service was a bit slow, took over 10 minutes for our server to acknowledge us. Cocktails took a long to to get and were watered down by the time we received them. Food was good. Wish the bar was larger, as we have sat there in the past and service was wonderful.

    (1) The food was good, as always. (2) The serving time was really fast. However, (3) service was bad from the lady at the entrance. She was rude and didn’t even try to dissimulate that she was in a really bad mood. Even at the exit I personally looked at her and said thank you because I know she might have been having a difficult day and still tried to thank her (even though the welcome and service was awful), and she didn’t even say a word when I said thank you on my way out. Plus my reservation was at 4 and they sat us around 4:40pm. Very good food. Really bad service at the Coronado location.

    The first time I went here with my girlfriends and loved it so much that I wanted to come here with my husband. Unfortunately this time I did not have the same experience. The service was slow from check in to ordering and getting our food, especially the dessert. I think it had been ready for a while because by the time we actually received the dessert the ice cream was almost all melted. Disappointing so debating on whether or not I’ll come back again.

    Amazing food, wonderful service. My whole family raved about it, too. What a pleasant surprise. My mom and sister said the pesto was the best they have ever had, and we’re Italian-American and hard to impress! I personally really appreciated the vegan and gluten-free options, which were all excellent. The server, even the bussers, everyone was a pro. Pleasant, helpful, and really added to our experience. So glad I found this place and brought my family!!

    Marco and Moira are always fantastic. We have been going here for family lunch around Christmas time for years. The pappardelle beef cheeks special was the best I’ve ever had! Love this place!

    Went to Garage on Christmas Eve and had a lovely time! Our server was very helpful and well versed in the menu-I believe he was even Italian himself.
