The atmosphere of Buon Appetito is typical of the area (Little Italy). There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but it doesn’t set itself apart from the rest of the restaurants in the area. The same thing cannot be said about their food. They are relatively reasonably priced (compared to the other restaurants in the area) and their food was fantastic. I ordered the cannelloni, which was fantastic and the portions were decent. Their specials menu also contains some things that look great, but will not review as I’ve not had them. Unfortunately, most of the menus for the restaurants in this area all blur at some point…there’s very little to differentiate between them. That said this one has a few items that help it stand out from the herd.

I wish i could leave 0 start here. Rude staff, zero customer service. Waited in line for 30 min, no single staff asked me to be seated. They are just running here and there for no reason. Ppl are paying dollars here its not free, show some respect to ir customers

Although there are many good restaurants in Little Italy we loved this one because of its immense variety of pastas, and all of them very good, as well as their appetizers. The price is not that cheap, but its quality is worth it.

Charming and romantic Italian restaurant in Little Italy. They have gluten free pasta and several gluten free pasta and gluten free entree options. My gluten free pasta was the best I have ever had from a restaurant. They also boast an excellent wine list! We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful evening. There is a great view of the skyline. Our server was friendly and outstanding. Highly recommended!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options

We walked up to Buon Appetito on a Friday evening without a reservation and everything fell together wonderfully and smoothly.Things you should know:I. PARKINGLittle Italy can be a little difficult to park at. You're going to want to keep your eyes peeled for parallel street parking spaces.II. SERVICEAttentive and accommodating. Our drinks were never empty! The food comes out in a timely manner as well. If you're splitting dishes, let your waiter know so they can plate them separately for you.Also, there's complimentary bread to snack on as you wait for your order.III. QUALITYWe ordered the Linguine Neri and were pleased to see the dish was packed with seafood and not "filler" materials like extra noodles or extra sauce. Great value for what you pay.IV. CAPACITYFair amount of available seating for Friday dinner hours. We were pleasantly seated right away without a reservation!

We loved eeeeeeverything about this restaurant, here is where your pasta dreams come true! Excellent service as well and a gorgeous cozy setting.
This is a restaurant where you can keep reaching for the bread while chatting with your friends about how delicious the warm aperitif bread is served when the store opens. Sometimes it's not warm, but overall the food is delicious.

Medium but very manageable menu. Linguine with mussels and shrimp is very good, lots of mussels in the sauce. Pennf arrabiatta and Penne Bolognese weren't bad, but there are better options. Employees are very friendly. Short waiting times.Vegetarian options: Pasta for vegetarians is always possible.

The ravioli and tiramisu were both so good. The sauce on the pasta was next level.
The food is beyond amazing! Our server was very attentive and all of the staff helped out to make sure the customers were taken care of. I highly recommend this place!!
