- MMonicaVIPMexico City •104 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAs soon as the clock hit 5 which was the time of our reservation, we were seated. The focaccia and water came immediately which is always great. Katie ( our server was very friendly. We ordered the beet salad which was delish, which is a big portion, plenty to share between 3-4 people, if you are ordering multiple plates. The caprese salad was also very tasty the tomatoes were delicious very ripe and the dressing was very tasty as well. We then shared a Sergio pizza, the dough was chewy, soft, crispy, perfect texture and great flavor. We finished off with the panna cota, it was good and I say good because the jam on top was artificial and you could taste it, the panna cota would be better with a homemade jam, it would elevate dessert to a delicious ending to a great meal.More infoBuona Forchetta EncinitasPrice: Moderate• Italian• Encinitas•4.7
