" Great place for a family gathering! The ambiance feels lively with nice decor. The food was satisfactory, with some dishes like the eggplant being highlights. Our service was friendly; they checked on us frequently, yet timing was uncoordinated. Some meals came out late, which interrupted the flow of dining. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, just not perfect. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Buona Terra feels like a feast! The flavors they offer are exceptional. We were a party of five and tried multiple dishes - the pasta was al dente, sauces were rich, and seafood fresh. My highlight was the ravioli filled with seasonal vegetables, presented beautifully. The service here is top-notch; our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent wine pairings. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian in a warm environment! " (*Curated Review*)

" Buona Terra may have been a decent place, but after numerous visits, I feel it's gradually losing its touch. The service remains friendly, but the food lacks the wow factor it once had. Every dish appears standard now instead of bursting with flavor. I sincerely hope they can revitalize their menu, as they have potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had been looking forward to dinner at Buona Terra, given its great reviews. However, I found my pasta to be quite bland and lacking creativity. The service was friendly but not attentive, leaving us waiting between courses. I appreciated the atmosphere and appreciate local spots but left a little disappointed. I’d like to see them step it up! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time at Buona Terra. Despite being super busy, the quality didn’t drop at all! The dishes were exquisitely plated and full of flavor. My favorite part was the pork chop with gorgonzola! Paired with a lovely selection of wine that our server recommended, it was an evening well spent. Definitely want to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become my family's favorite Italian spot! We visit often and have tried almost everything on the menu. Consistency is their key; every dish is just as good as the last. The homemade pastas are a draw; you can taste the freshness. Last week we ordered a round of pizzas, and they were incredible, particularly the margherita. Feeling a craving already! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Buona Terra after reading several positive reviews, and I was not let down! Their eggplant Parmesan was beautifully done, and my friend raved about the seafood linguine. The service was polite and quick, which I appreciated. The only downside was that the tables are a bit close together, making it a little loud. Overall, I can see why it's a favorite spot! " (*Curated Review*)
