I seriously talk about it all of the time. and i'm not even joking. Guys .. i genuinely have not had a more delicious sandwich in SD than this one here. Everything about it was so delicious. The crispy chicken, delicious, the kale caeser, amazing. And they add fried onions to it, genius it really just tied it all together. If this place was closer to me i swear id be in every day. Driving 40 mins just to get this sandwich is 1000% worth it to me. i don't know what yall did but don't stop. absolutely delicious!!!

There was lots of parking on the other side of the street and we were greeted by a friendly waitress. I tried the gelato. Vanilla gelato was creamy with a rich, sweet vanilla flavor. I loved the smooth texture and bold vanilla notes. Lemon sorbet was icy with tons of sour lemon flavor. Best in small quantities. I'm glad I got one scoop of each. Service was friendly and efficient. I will miss our monthly adventures to places I have not visited before.

Buona Forchetta came highly recommended by a friend who raves about their pizzas. After trying it…read moremyself, I'd rate it closer to a 3.5 out of 5. It's a solid neighborhood restaurant, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. We ordered two pizzas: a gluten-free Margherita and a regular Margherita. One thing that immediately stood out was how similar the two crusts tasted. Both had a comparable level of chewiness, which was surprising given that one was gluten-free. The gluten-free crust lacked some of the wheaty, earthy flavor you'd expect from a traditional dough, but overall I was genuinely impressed by its texture and quality. It's one of the better gluten-free pizza crusts I've had. The pizzas are Neapolitan-style and generally enjoyable. The dough itself is well made, though I would have preferred a bit more chew and structure to take it to the next level. My biggest criticisms are the sauce and cheese. The sauce was applied too sparingly, leaving the pizza without enough moisture or cohesion to tie the different components together. More importantly, the flavor felt one-dimensional--mostly salty, without the rich tomato sweetness, depth, and complexity that make a great Neapolitan pizza memorable. But I want to be fair. Judging from the photos posted by other Yelpers, some of the pizzas shown have a good amount of pizza sauce. I need to try the food again and update my review. As for the cheese, the fresh mozzarella on the Margherita didn't quite meet expectations. The slices had a firmer texture than I typically associate with fresh mozzarella and lacked some of the soft, creamy moisture that helps create that signature melt. The flavor was also milder than expected; instead of delivering a pronounced milky richness, it tasted somewhat diluted. This may be a minor criticism, but on a simple pizza like a Margherita, where every ingredient is on display, these details become much more noticeable. Overall, Buona Forchetta serves a respectable Neapolitan-style pizza, and its gluten-free option is particularly impressive. However, the underwhelming sauce and mozzarella kept the pizzas from reaching the level I was expecting given the enthusiastic recommendations.

The restaurant offers a few outdoor tables (especially enjoyable this time of year) and indoor seating for approximately 20 guests.

Our server, Justin, provided several excellent wine recommendations that complemented our meal nicely. To start, we shared the Smoked Hamachi Crudo and the Local Apple Salad. The Hamachi was beautifully prepared and among the best I've had in the U.S. For our mains, we shared the Branzino, Lamb Rack, and Heirloom Carrots. Each dish was creative and perfectly executed. Overall, it was an outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable meal.

I've been researching them a great deal lately and had a fairly good idea of what I was looking for. I came into the store on a Saturday back in April and described what I was on the hunt for: Fruit forward, vibrant, with a little spice. The very nice man working there that afternoon suggested several wines, including the 2023 Roar Rosella's Vineyard from Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. I was sold. The wine made it back safe and sound to South Carolina. Just opened it up this afternoon. In a word: perfect. The wine is everything he described it to me. Thankful for his time and attention. Would recommend this great store to anyone in Carlsbad.

My husband had the union burger with truffle fries. He said was good. I was too distracted by my dinner to try. "Brunch" on the other hand, was a little disappointing.

Will definitely visit again when I'm back in town.
