Restaurants near San Clemente Pier

Buona Forchetta is by far the best restaurant in all San Clemente area! Classic, perfectly cooked real Italian pasta, pizza and antipasti. The staff is warm , happy and very welcoming =) We eat there at least once a week, reservations recommended because good food + reasonable price + cute atmosphere = always full!

I enjoyed the food as always. The ambiance is pleasant and the service is good…always a good choice.

We had a reservation for brunch, and it was delicious! The sparkling wine and Riesling were especially good, as were the fig bruschetta and fried cauliflower. The pesto burrata chicken sandwich was a bit wet (the pesto and burrata really just oozed through the sourdough onto my hands), but the lemon truffle fries were really good. Also liked the crab cake and filet Benedict’s, and the sausage in the ranch breakfast was really good. Our mains were quite slow in coming out, but it gave us a chance to digest after the appetizers, so I wasn’t really that upset!

We celebrated my Birthday and had a magical evening! Adam was our server and he guided our evening with wonderful suggestions. We enjoyed the duck wings, and bone marrow apps. And our dinner entree’s were excellent as well. A very special and memorable evening for sure!

Great new restaurant in San Clemente! Food was outstanding, but the service was even better! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed by wait staff. ALL of the waiters I walked by on my way to my table, while carrying food and serving others, welcomed me in! The food was tasty and the ambience felt like home.
