Went on 04/27. Who the heck is writing these five star reviews? The whole place seems tired..the employees, facility, and the food. Had to wait at the check in as there was no one there until one employee yelled at the hostess. Sent a drink back..undrinkable. Tables chipped and worn. Spent $175 for three people (one drink), three entrees, two appetizers. Shrimp appetizer was similar to a Chinese restaurant vs. Italian. The Bruschetta was was unrecognizeable and mushy vs crispy.Had the Seafood Du Mare..mussels were microscopic, two shrimp, two scallops, and the smallest half lobster I've ever seen...and it was all dry. It was suppose to be scampi..but no butter, garlic, or olive oil for $50.The other entrees were considered average. Will not be going back,

I honestly think this restaurant is the most underrated in town! The menu here is outstanding...no other restaurant has as many traditional choices of Italian and Grilled entrees. Amazing appetizers and drinks. It has a boutique glam vibe inside which I love, and I've never had a bad meal. Last night I was there with my best friend for dinner and our chicken piccata and shrimp scampi were delicious. Not only that, but out bartender Keith was hilarious and had us entertained all night! If you have never tried it here, you must! You won't be disappointed!

Great place to go out to eat. The staff if polite, friendly & professional.Food is very good, big portions and doesn’t kill your wallet. Chicken Parmesan is great as well as probably one of the best Alfredo’s
Friendly service and huge portions but average in taste. The antipasti has balsamic drizzled all over and fresh ham… not sure you’d see that in Italy. The clam linguini had a healthy helping of garlic just how I like it but not too everyone’s taste at the

Ordered mushroom ravioli it's was frozen ravioli... The demi sauce was over reduced and burnt. Terrible service was slow which was surprising since they are using frozen pasta and charging 25.00 for it. Never going back! My husband and I had a 65.00 Gift card to use again but we gave it to the couple next to us No Thanks!

Haven’t been in quite a while and was looking forward to a treatThe mussels in scampi sauce and eggplant rollatini apps were very goodBut the veal with seafood specialty was not so special and the veal and tiny pieces of lobster were very tough snd not much flavor to the dishI did mention it to our server with no reponse and i don’t think it went beyond her - hoping they make adjustments as we used to enjoyed our food therePS saw a pic of below of the seafood specialty from 2 months ago and it looks great not at all like what we got - so there is hope.

Appetizer and the soup were good. I got told not to order the chicken parm. Well all 3 of us did anyways.lol. The chicken tasted like they cooked it two days ago, then reheated it. They need to do something in the kitchen because it was awful. Stomach was feeling that great that night

DON'T GET THE CHICKEN PARM!!! Dry dry dry and it was barely luke warm. Couldn't cut through it. Tasted like it was cooked days in advance. Awful.
Save your money. Burger King would be more satisfying. The waitress was horrible. No personality. Salmon was flavorless. Simple sides like roasted potatoes were also flavorless. They gave us a bread basket in the middle of dinner accompanied by a dish that looked like herbed water. Then we were treated to a hefty helping of chlorine aroma. Not sure if that was a new dish.

This is the perfect place to take your family or your significant other for that special night out. The food, the atmosphere, and the service is top notch and the tiramisu is absolutely delicious. Your missing out if you haven’t gone to Buono Bistro so Andiamo Mangia Mangia

Not sure what is going on here but feel like a change of ownership happened. Long time customers and had a very unpleasant experience tonight and nobody seemed to care. We had a reservation for 6:30. Apparently, a number of people did. Before 6:30PM, there were open seats and persons walking in were seated without reservations. When 6:30 PM arrives the restaurant is full and now an hour wait for reservations. Two seats opened at the bar and we sit. You don’t need reservations at the bar. The young hostess ( new), tells us, “you have to give up the seats, we can’t serve you due to under staffing.”( does apologize and goes into a long story). We waited and waited far past 6:30 and left along with many others.

I'm so upset. I love Buono Bistro but last night was a horror show. We came here for my 30th birthday last night. We made reservations a couple days in advance for 6 pm. We arrive at 5:55pm and the hostess had no idea what was going on. She wrote down our name, that we had a 6pm reservation, then told us it will be a couple minutes. Super odd, a lot of other people at reservations and none of them were written down or anything. After 10 minutes we got seated. Then we proceeded to wait for our waitress who never showed up. After 20 minutes of waiting we asked another waitress why we didn't have a waitress, and she felt horrible, took our drinks and then it took another 20 minutes for our actual waitress to show up. She laughed and said sorry, are you ready to order food. Like yeah now that it's almost 7pm I'd like to eat something. As always the drinks and food were great, just not a good experience. My husband and I usually sit at the bar and have a great time.

We came here to celebrate my daughter's 30th birthday. We had a 6:00pm reservation. They didn't even have us down for reservations. We waited 15 minutes to be seated. Then we sat at our table for 20 minutes when I finally tracked down a waitress and asked her if she could get someone to help us. She took our drink order. At 6:50 our waitress came over and acted like nothing was wrong and said a quick sorry and said can I take your order. There were 5 of us. The other waitress brought two drinks to our table at 6:55. Ten minutes later the rest of our party got their drinks. I will say our food came out quickly and it was good. The restaurant is very loud and they squeeze you in like sausages. They were definitely understaffed. I will not be returning here.
