It is kid-friendly, which I loved, but feels sort of like a dive bar at the same time. It was really the best of both worlds.

Pretty great spot and we'll definitely be back.

On a positive note the service and staff couldn't have been nicer! The pizza was very good but too thick and oily for my taste. The pizza sauce was the best. If offered on thin crust, I would be a big fan! On a not so positive note, this might be the loudest restaurant I have ever been to. The music was extremely loud even on the outside patio making conversation very difficult. There were lots of families and groups with quite a few kids. It very kid friendly which is great for families but again very loud. Many kids running through, playing activity, and being quite loud. If you want good authentic Detroit pizza and a relaxing night night, you might want to order to go.

It wasn't crowded at all. It was a cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. The waitress was super nice and explained the dishes. She kept checking on us at the right time when we ran out of wine! Perfect! We started with foccocia and caprese salad. It was very delicious. Every one but me order a pizza but I've been to other Buona Forchetta before and know the pizza are amazing. Pasta is great, too but pizza is my fav. I ordered now o forget the name but it only had cheese and tomatoes and they allowed me to add a meatball which was giant and buratta. It was soooo good! I also had Sauvignon blanc from Napa that was amazing. Now, I was so excited to see my friend forgot to get pics but it was great. Highly recommend.

This cozy little spot on the main road in San Clemente offers some tasty Italian eats…read more The restaurant lacks dedicated parking, so you will want to plan ahead to use the attached garage or hunt for a street spot nearby. The inside is inviting and features a nice little patio. The interior has an industrial vibe, but they did a great job with the decor to tie the space together and make it fun. Service was warm, friendly, and quick. The servers answered all our questions thoroughly and were highly knowledgeable about both the dinner and wine menus. The charcuterie platter was mid. Given this is an Italian restaurant, pepper jack cheese felt like the wrong choice, and it was a mistake to trim all the fat off the prosciutto di Parma. The presentation was great, but I would pass on it next time. The special menu had some promising dishes. I tried the asparagus risotto with chili shrimp. The flavor was there and the shrimp was cooked nicely, but the risotto was way too liquidy. I also tried the pappardelle with due pomodori and added guanciale. This was delish, and I would order it every single time I dine here. All in all, this is a great little date spot or a fun place to share food and wine with friends. Check them out!

Our waitress name was Claire and we hit the jackpot. So personable, friendly and made the night super special. We also met the manager/operator Joe. He made us feel like we were weekly locals and welcomed us with open arms! We want to come back ASAP just to see Claire and Joe again! Special people. The food, OMG this place is such a gem. We started with the Herloom Tomato Burrata appetizer which was very good. This fresh tomatoes (which needed a pinch more of some crunchy sea salt) with a light pesto, micro greens and burrata. Perfect combo eating bites with the grilled sourdough they bring along side. If you have Claire she'll bring you fresh butter and hot honey. Pro tip!!! This combo is undefeatable. And the wings. They are all half flats, extra crispy in a spicy and sweet sauce. Very very yummy. That blue cheese needs a little thickening but besides that, FIRE! Next we got the Organic Arugula salad with hazelnuts, shaved pecorino and mint. Damn this salad was sleeper hit. Eat it with your pizza, the richness needs something to cut through it, this salad! We got the wild mushroom Pizza which Claire recommended, which ABSOLUTELY blew me away. So perfect crispy yet perfectly chewy at the same time. I think this is my new fav pizza in all of OC. Lucky me I live 1.7 miles away. OMG ya'll this pizza is worth a 2 hour drive to get here! To end the meal for my birthday they surprised us with a Panna Cotta. Beautiful like a perfect creme bruele in a latte cup topped with a nut sort of crumble and a mint leaf. PERFECT ending to an absolutely perfect meal. Thank you Parlor for making my 48th birthday one to remember. We cannot wait to come back soon.

My mom used to love coming to Cosentino's Pizza whenever we were back in town. This year, we…read morereturned under much different circumstances--we were there to lay my mom to rest. As a family, we wanted to have lunch at one of her favorite places and spend some time remembering and celebrating her. I've waited a while before posting this review because I wanted to be fair and separate the emotions surrounding our visit from the actual experience. The first day we stopped in, the drink machine was being replaced and the restaurant wasn't open. That was completely understandable. What was disappointing was the attitude we received from the young staff when we simply asked when they expected to reopen. We got the typical "I don't know" response, and when we tried asking a couple of follow-up questions for clarification, they seemed annoyed and really weren't interested in helping. We aren't from the area and had specifically made the trip over because of what this place meant to my mom. We figured the first experience was just an off moment, so we came back the next day when they were open. Unfortunately, the same general attitude from the young staff carried over and really took away from the experience. The food itself wasn't the problem--it was the lack of friendliness, hospitality, and basic customer service. Of course, they had no way of knowing why we were there, and we certainly didn't expect or feel the need to explain that we had just buried our mom. But that's also the point: you never really know why someone has walked through your door or what that visit might mean to them. I wish our experience had been different, especially because Cosentino's held such good memories for our family and for my mom. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to those memories. Food is good.....

Gosh. Everything tasted so fresh, and was served quickly. Even the salad was good (I had a few bites but I'm not much of salad guy, this salad could change my mind!) A mishap with a beverage was quickly cleaned up and a replacement arrived instantaneously. It was a great meal with great service. We will be back! Thanks Ella! And thanks to the whole team!
