Drove 30 minutes to this place because we got a babysitter and wanted to finish our night off with some good Italian food before we had to be home to relieve our baby sitter. THE HOURS SHOW THEY CLOSE AT 10. We arrive at 9:10 only for them to be closed with what looked like the employees sitting inside hanging out. If you’re going to close early, just change your hours. It would’ve been nice to choose another restaurant on our date night since we don’t get them often. Your hours were very misleading.
More like arrivederci. Food was sub par at best. Great location, friendly staff. Would not recommend though.

I would love to give this place a higher rating, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great but the food was very bland and not impressive. Despite that fact i did eat the whole meal, it wasn't bad, just underwhelming. Everything seemed under seasoned, the sauce had created a watery soupy layer at the bottom making the breading on the chicken soggy, and the sauce flavor was on par with a low quality brand at the grocery store. This place has a lot of potential and simply having a better sauce and adding some salt to their meat would've taken the meal up several notches. Hope this review is taken as constructive criticism and some changes are made because this restaurant has a lot of potential.

Everything was absolutely delicious. Salad, gnocchi with meat sauce and tiramisu. The server from Long Island was absolutely delightful and knows the menu and items front and back. Will be back very very soon! Certainly a new favorite!

Really enjoyed Bongiorno. Quiet and quaint dining. Restaurant is smaller, but it adds to the atmosphere. Tried the lasagna, very good! The bread was delicious- served warm. Service was excellent - accommodated our larger group with reservations made ahead of time.

A great evening.
First off, server was so great. She was extremely helpful, answering questions and offering suggestions. The bread and oil/balsamic vinegar brought to the table were really good.
We ordered chicken parmagiana and shrimp scampi for dinner (plus wine). Both were good. I did add some salt to the pasta and red sauce (chicken parm), but otherwise was great. Scampi turned out well, even with a requested substitution (shallots for garlic in sauce).
For dessert, we ordered tiramisu and a chocolate cannoli. Both were excellent. Tiramisu was not as tall, but was cut longer. Delicious. Cannoli was on point.
Atmosphere is nice. It's quaint and small, but at the same time it was cozy. Was not busy, and kitchen didn't take a long time to get the food to the table.
All in all, it was a good experience.
Parking: Angular parking on the street.

We ate here on a Saturday evening in which you would think is one of the most important days of the week for a restaurant like this. Upon entering it was alright, Italian restaurant that was just the right amount “fancy” but at the same time was a more chill spot. The office chairs at the front kind of gave it an interesting vibe. The food was decent especially for the price, nothing crazy but was good Italian food. Even with it being a small place the server was very inattentive for example having to ask for more water and asking for the check after waiting for probably 20 minutes of being done. It seems like they do not have a good handle on separating family from business in that the place wasn’t closed and we felt as if we were invading on family time. Friends and children coming in and out to say high just didn’t seem professional by any means.

Was a little disappointed in meatball sub, bland meat and sauce was too sour.
..but then again I was spoiled by Italian mother with meatballs to die for and a sauce that takes days to cook.

It’s good
Bongiorna is Italian cuisine at its finest. We had reservations and were promptly seated upon arrival. It's always a good idea to make reservations ahead of time as the restaurant doesn't seat a large number of guests. The service was excellent and the food even better. I would definitely recommend Bongiorno to anyone.
