Buona Tavola is a well-loved Italian restaurant known for its excellent food and attentive service. The Carciofi ai petali di parmigiano salad is highly praised as one of the best salads ever tried. The restaurant offers a great selection of wines, including a Super Tuscan, which pairs perfectly with the meals. The desserts, such as Crema Di Vaniglia Della Buona Tavola and Fior di Seta, leave a lasting impression. The food is cooked with care, from the entrees to the sides like spinach and shredded carrots, which are seasoned just right. The seafood pasta, Pappardelle alla San Pietro, is delicious, and the sea bass special is cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, and the half bottle of Pinot adds a perfect touch for sharing.
The restaurant features a gorgeous back patio, and the service is consistently stellar, with the owner providing excellent recommendations and a friendly atmosphere. Visitors often enjoy tasting wines before choosing and appreciate the quiet, pleasant ambiance. Overall, Buona Tavola offers a memorable dining experience with great food, good wine, and a cozy environment.
