Best Authentic Restaurants in Solana Beach

Not your typical Mexican joint. Very elevated. Best ceviche and aguachile ever. The food is beautiful to the eye and very delicious and bright.

great friendly and helpful staff. food was very fresh with tons of variations available. the view was also beautiful within a cozy environment. overall 5/5 thanks to exceptional hospitality and attitude!

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.

The location is great; outside on the patio. It was Wednesday lunchtime so it was relatively quiet. There was a good mix of sun and shade. The service was terrific. The server was well versed on the menu and made some wonderful recommendations, when asked. He was very warm, friendly and considerate. The food was fresh and tasty. Two of us shared the Salt & Lime Salad with Shrimp, as well as the Cerviche Yucatan. Both were delicious. The shrimp was large and a decent amount. We shared the Lava Cake and the Churros for dessert. Good portions of all food. Delicious! Plan to come back and try other options.

It can get busy, best way to make sure you get a table is to make a reservation. Ordered a few things to try, Lomo Saltado, Macho, Beet Salad and a Ceviche Mixto. The ceviche was great probably a tad bit more salt and it would've been perfect Beet salad... Beets.. The Lomo was a tad salty for me but the meat was very tender and a good size portion of food. Macho was my favorite a good variety of seafood and lots of flavor.
