Delicious food, warm atmosphere, and consistently great service. Bon Appetito is our go-to for fresh pasta, hearty entrees, and generous portions. The garlic bread alone is worth the visit!

Definitely call days ahead to make a reservation. Restaurant is small with tables close to each other. Very loud in there, but cozy / small family feel. Food was good but would like to return and try something else.

Food was good but not exceptional. Overall culinary experience was underwelming. House salad very disappointing approximately two shredded lettuce leaves. For a 30.00 pasta meal you might expect a larger house salad and perhaps an offer of fresh Italian bread. Mostly all pasta dishes on the menu have the same basic sauce of onion, garlic and fresh tomatoes with variations to protein, vegetables, added cream or butter. Large pasta portions distract from culinary expertise. I ordered a scampi with shrimp. Scampi lacked traditional favors of garlic and butter. Cavatelli was small and didn’t have flavor or texture that sets it apart from other pastas. Ingredients were fresh. Service was excellent. It was great to be able to bring your choice of beverages.

I think this place has been around for decades. It has a solid clientele of regulars and a very consistent chef. The place is small, so reservations recommended. The food itself is hearty and delicious. The place is byob, so bring your own reds and whites to pair with the pasta!

We ordered takeout. Maybe eating there would be better? My meal was extremely oily. The salad was only lettuce in a container. Will definitely not be ordering food there again.

We ordered the homemade garlic bread for an app. They were very yummy! The bread had a nice crunch on the outside and soft center that was very flavorful. I had the tricolored tortellini with spinach, fresh chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, ground sausage sautéed in onions and garlic, served in a light rose’ sauce. It was outstanding!!! I will definitively go back and order it again! I was there with 5 others. They ordered different seafood over pasta dishes which were a hit at our table! I would definitively give Chef 5 stars!!

Party of 6, to celebrate my Wife's BD. Again, we were so satisfied. I had veal Marsala. Nancy had Chilean Sea Bass. Enjoyed Eggplant Rollitini and spinach & cheese rav. as Apps. Everyone else went with Ital. Meals. Everything comes out FRESH and HOT. Beyond belief in Flavor. 5 star!
Dietary restrictions: I did not dare to ask for non onion. Non Garlic. (Allergic as an adult) . Seemed a Sin. That's why I went with Marsala.

I have a medical reason to be gluten-free, but I love good Italian food and pasta. Not all restaurants are or can be accommodating. Buon Appetito is a gem that checked off all the boxes in a big way! Their food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful!! For anyone looking for that quiet, intimate setting, being served by the kindest and most personable couple that prepare the most delicious and incredible portions at a very reasonable price given inflation today, this is your must try, soon to be go-to restaurant for amazing Italian dishes!!! For those wanting to know, I ordered the pasta Valdosta. Thank you, Buon Appetito!!!! I wish I could give you 10 stars!!! I love this restaurant, and I will definitely be back... like tomorrow!! ??? ?
Vegetarian options: There are dishes for vegetarians as well as meat and seafood, and even gluten-free options. My dish, the Valdosta pasta, was vegetarian and gluten-free.
Dietary restrictions: The chef and owner were very accommodating, and I'm sure they could make dishes gluten-free, vegetarian, and even dairy free, egg free if need be. He is very talented in the kitchen as well, so whatever dish you order is likely to be very flavorful as well!
Parking: I feel there are plenty of spaces to park(say 10 in front of the building), unless it's a busy night, but most of the businesses next door are closed by dinner time, so chances are better for parking then. It is a little difficult to spot the building itself from the road, so if you are not using GPS, there is signage out on the road.

Horrible service, never got food after 1 hour & half wait. Waitress never came to our table after continually asking when we would be served. All others around us came in much later than us & all got served. The owner/chef obviously doesn't care, never followed up with us, never had such bad experience! We were appalled by our experience at Buon Appetito! Never returning & plan share with all who asks

Went there this evening with another couple got there at 6, and at 730 having only been served our garlic bread and salad that came with meal, and waiting for 30 minutes for the waitress to even come to the table. As we waited, and time passed a couple came in and ordered and was served their food , another group of three sitting behind us same. Meanwhile our waitress kept going outside to her car, and within seconds coming back but never checking on us, updating us or anything. Finally at 715 after being there for and hour and a quarter we ask, where’s our food ? The waitress “I’ll check “ and she never comes back. Finally as she’s serving another table that came in after and we see a “takeout order” come and go I say we’re done we’ve been here 90 minutes and nothing. She says it’s always like this in Friday and Saturdays it’s only the chef/owner in the kitchen and our food was about to come out. Several things , either cut the amount of tables or limit the menu, but r get done help! The restaurant is outdated decor has not changed since last time we were there 30 years ago and to be honest its time has come to pack it in. They had a nice run, but my recommendation is run away from this place !
