" Buona Sera has a fun and energetic vibe! The service was quick and efficient, considering how busy they were. I loved the bruschetta, which was fresh and full of flavor. The pasta I had was good but a bit too salty for my taste. The dessert was the highlight; the tiramisu was heavenly! Great spot for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends took me to Buona Sera last weekend, and I can’t stop thinking about the food! The lobster ravioli was beyond compare, and our waiter was friendly and helpful. The decor is charming and made for a lovely evening. I will be planning to return soon to try more of their wonderful selections! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely family gathering at Buona Sera. Their 5-pound lobster special was a delightful surprise and tasted amazing! We also ordered various pasta dishes that were noticeable for their authenticity. Portions were enormous, and we barely finished everything. The service was great; our waiter made sure all our needs were met. Will be recommending this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my girlfriend to Buona Sera for a special date night and we were very pleased overall. The pasta dishes were truly authentic, especially the bolognese, which was rich and flavorful. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner, with soft lighting and beautiful decor. We shared a dessert that was to die for! If I had to critique, the service was a bit slow at times, but the food made it worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family recently celebrated my mother’s birthday at Buona Sera, and we were all thrilled with how everything turned out. The lobster ravioli was a unanimous hit at the table, loaded with real lobster meat in a decadent sauce. We couldn’t believe the portion sizes; we had leftovers that lasted for days! The lighting and decor made for a lovely evening. Our server, Lester, was attentive and really made us feel special. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was good, I was really impressed with the service! Our waiter was attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of. The portions are large, so be ready to take home some leftovers. The chicken marsala was tasty and the ambiance was inviting, making for a nice evening out. " (*Curated Review*)
