Opened in March 2020 by Buona Forchetta founder Matteo Cattaneo and partner Marco Zannoni, Garage Buona Forchetta at 1000 C Ave in Coronado, CA 92118, occupies the historic El Cordova Garage building and serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, housemade pasta, and regional Italian dishes. Known for a custom wood-fired pizza oven imported from Italy, the Coronado location is part of the Buona Forchetta family that earned the Gambero Rosso award for Best Pizzeria at its original South Park restaurant. The menu features Pappardelle Carbonara, Eggplant Parmigiana, vegan ravioli, and gluten-free pizza crust and focaccia that reviewers compare favorably to regular versions. The space includes an Italian market selling imported goods, wine, and spirits, plus a walk-up café window for espresso and baked goods — all within a block of Nado Gelato Cafe. Lunch runs 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM and dinner from 5:00 PM, with Saturday open straight through and Friday and Saturday service extending to 10:00 PM. For waterfront Italian dining at the Ferry Landing, Il Fornaio overlooks San Diego Bay.
