   Wonderful experience!!! I booked a party of 7 but our friends were back and forth about if they could make it or not so when we arrived, I just dropped it to 4 and they sat us at a 4 top. Our friends ended up joining and we needed a larger table and the hostess and bussers were so helpful and didn’t even bat an eye at the inconvenience, they switched our table so quickly! Once we got seated, they probably had to change the server due to us moving sections so it took a little bit for a server to arrive but once they did, the service was prompt for the rest of the meal. Only thing was that we asked quite a few times for a heater since it was fairly chilly and they seemed to forget. Not the end of the world so we just flagged down another busser and he was friendly and helpful. Overall, service was efficient, accurate and got the job done!! We had a wonderful time visiting with friends, we loved the outdoor patio, and the food was DELICIOUS. Thank you so much!

   We've enjoyed the Liberty Station location, felt like the food was better at Liberty Station pizza was crust overall was better. The service at this location was fair at best vs above average to wonderful service at Liberty Station. This location also lacked the ambience of Liberty Station. If you've not been to Forchetta, I still highly recommend just head down to Liberty Station, I've not been to the other locations in SD so can't compare those to this experience.

   We went for a birthday dinner and informed the restaurant ahead of time. The host and server did not say happy birthday or offer any kind of birthday dessert. Not a great experience for a birthday dinner.

   Delightful experience with excellent, attentive service and delicious food. Kudos to Sergio, Alejandra, Dario, the chefs and servers, and the young man at the check-in desk. Portions were generous, fairly priced, and desserts were heavenly. Highly recommended.

   Great locals place. Easy location and friendly. The pizzas and beet salad are always good. Lamp chop special wasn’t the best we have had.
