Excellent food. Good service. Owners visibly present and ensure a good experience.We walked in from the rain, with a party of 7. They seated us in about 10 minutes. Our waiter was a delight. The Beet Caprese Salad is an excellent creation & my personal favorite!

Great service in a nice atmosphere. They have great veggie meat options for substitution. The rice and cheese balls, chicken parmesan, baked ziti and veggie bolognese were great. Always a good meal.

The lobster ravioli was delicious. The service was friendly and prompt without being over bearing. The clientele were obviously repeat customers. Always a good sign. Remember to make a reservation to guarantee a table

This is a tasty and classic-Italian venue in a great and convenient location along the main drag of Wilton Manors. What made this location stand out to me was the impeccable service and attention from the staff. From the moment we walked in the door, I felt valued and seen as a customer every step of the way. Waiters were knowledge about the menus and made suggestions on pairings based on my group’s individual likes and preferences. The food was high quality and they used fresh ingredients with bold flavors that will leave you feeling adequately full and satisfied after your meal.Parking: Very limited onsite parking. You’ll likely have to rely on a paid parking lot down the street or walk a considerable distance from a shopping center with free parking to the restaurant. While a bit inconvenient, it’s not uncommon for this to be the case in most high-density downtown entertainment districts. Just know what to expect before going.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the first floor and is accessible for folks in wheelchairs. Note however that both the front door and bathroom doors do not have automatic/ADA accessible mechanisms to open the door on your own.

Excellent service,the staff was very friendly, drinks and cocktails were interesting. place was packed so I am sure it is a local favorite. My only quibble is the pasta was nowhere near "al dente"...was baby food soft. and the veal saltimbocca had no hint of a fresh sage leaf and missing much sage flavor. Swordfish dish was excellent.And kudos for such a varied menu. Will try it again and ask for less cooked rigatoni.

I wish i could give bona more stars-- the staff and service were wonderful. I thought my mushy overcooked rigatoni was maybe a one off but then I came across other reviews with the same complaint of overcooked pasta-- so Bona-- check in with your kitchen---maybe they dont realize what they are making you bring to the table----they are doing a disservice to your wonderful front of house staff.

Fantastic place, with great authentic food and really amazing service.
This was my First time eating at Bona Italian Restaurant and if I was able to give 10 Stars, I would. I ate there Saturday evening and every single Staff Member was extremely friendly. A friend and I showed up around 5:30 pm without reservations but, the Gentleman at the Front was extremely kind and gave us a table in the far back. We were greeted with smiles and kindness. Once seated, our Excellent waiter offered drinks and water. One thing I thought was very cool was the fact that they use "Pasta as Straws." I thought that that was so cool and different. We were brought Garlic Knots, which were out of this world ?. If I wasn't on a date, I would have had 2 but, I needed to behave. I ordered Chicken Marsala and my friend ordered pasta with meatballs. As we were waiting for our food, the owners came around several times to ask if we needed anything, if everything was to our liking and etc. Our waiter was great, the Food was Fantastic and I just loved and enjoyed the atmosphere. They make you feel comfortable, inviting and very friendly.If you are in Wilton Manor, Ft. Lauderdale or, just looking for Great Italian Food, Bona Italian Restaurant is the place to go.I suggest reservations!!!!! Thanks to a wonderful, inviting, friendly Staff and Food, I had a great evening. Don't miss out on this Italian Restaurant. Food is excellent, prices are good and well worth it.
