Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Buona Vita offers a delightful dining experience with "outstanding food" and "wonderful staff." The Italian dishes, particularly the veal and branzino, are consistently praised. While the atmosphere can be lively, the intimate setting and attentive service make it a "favorite" for many. Remember, it's BYOB for added enjoyment.

    It’s been quite some time that I really wanted to try this local Italian place and finally we had a chance last night. My husband and I were so impressed. The food was absolutely very good. I would highly recommend this place.

    Service was fair. It was a busy night but other tables were getting better service. We waited a while to see our server. Prices were very high, even for the shore. We asked to add chicken to a pasta dish, $10 up charge, wow. The soup and salad starters were $12 each, outrageous for a few handfuls of lettuce and 3 halved tomatoes. Food was tasty but the prices were shocking. Over $100 for 2 people with no alcohol. Good meal but we won’t be back.

    Staff is great. Food was outstanding. Always go for a special. It’ll be fantastic. It’s noisy but it’s what you’d expect in an intimate restaurant.
