OrderThe tortelli di zucca with butter and sage; the tagliatelle al ragu finished tableside.

TipThe eggless dough is unusual; ask for it explicitly if you want the canonical Cesarina experience.

Buona Forchetta in San Diego is Matteo Cattaneo's South Park pizzeria on 30th and Beech since 2011, the Naples-style wood-fire room that holds the Gambero.

OrderThe pizza Sofia with prosciutto and burrata; the margherita is the test of the dough.

TipNo reservations on the patio; arrive by 5:30pm or after 8:30pm to skip the worst of the line.
