   Don’t know if there are new owners but this gets poorer every time. Salad not split for us. Fish not filleted for us as requested. Pasta cooked mushy. Excuses were that staff was learning.

   There were no parking spots and we were told that there is a lot a couple of blocks away that we could park at and walk back!!!! Really? Walk on Horsham Rd at 65+ years old? Then we were told that the valet parking person called out. Then we were told that a couple of servers took parking spots for the customers. Our server was a delightful young lady. I ordered crabmeat to be added with my gnocchi entree and I struggled o find/taste. We used to frequent this restaurant but with emerging restaurants coming into Bucks County, we will think twice.

   Good food, and the room was quiet despite its large size. That made for good conversation.

   Thanksgiving buffet was outstanding. All the food was delicious. Loved the variety and that they had boneless slices of both white meat and dark meat turkey. Fish, chicken, and shrimp were also available. A real feast. The staff was also extremely friendly and efficient. Glad I decided to come there instead of doing all that cooking, food prep, and cleanup at home.

It's fantastic to know our team made your visit pleasant and efficient. We appreciate you choosing to spend your holiday with us. We hope to see you again!

   We had a very nice dinner with our friends, as usual. The service was great, as was the food, and everyone was very accommodating. We look forward to dining at Buona Via again. Please bring back the seafood salad, though... I MISS IT!

   The food was very good. The salmon bisque, cobia and branzino were delicious. The raspberry sorbet was also very good. Mario was great, but he should have been given more support due to the party size.

    Menu was limited No veal or Veal Chop no filet on menu. I got my dinner 15 minutes after everyone else at my table. 1st time I had a bad experience there. Probably won’t get back for a while. Very disappointed but waiter Tony was good.
    

    Buona ViaResponded on 10 November 2024

    Hello Jonathan, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any delay in serving your meal. To clarify, we do offer veal entrees, but unfortunately, we do not have veal chop on our menu. We appreciate your kind words about Tony and will address the issues you mentioned to improve our service. We hope you'll give us another chance to deliver a better experience for you next time.
