Buona Forchetta, the popular South Park-born Italian restaurant company with seven locations countywide, expands its North County footprint this week with the opening of a new location in the North City development near Cal State San Marcos.
The new Buona Forchetta restaurant at 250 North City Drive in San Marcos hosts its grand opening Wednesday in the 120-seat indoor/outdoor location formerly occupied by PrepKitchen, which closed in March 2020.
The new location is open for lunch and dinner service and will eventually add breakfast and brunch service when there’s enough demand. It will serve the same menu as the other locations of Buona Forchetta (which is Italian for “good fork”).

J & Tony’s, a quirky, dinosaur-filled cocktail bar in East Village offering all-day food service, has been named to Esquire Magazine’s list of “The Best Bars in America for 2021.”
The new survey by Esquire writer Kevin Sintumuang includes 27 bars in L.A., Chicago, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Denver, Nashville and more. J & Tony’s full name: J & Tony’s Discount Cured Meats and Negroni Warehouse is owned by the San Diego restaurant/bar collective CH Projects.
Sintumuang praised the bar’s “madcap, idiosyncratic space,” which includes giant dinosaur and dragon models and a huge gold disco ball. He also liked the bar’s house negroni cocktail, espresso martinis, cured meats and breakfast sandwiches. “Cocktail-centric zaniness was never this low-key cool and delicious,” he wrote.
