Small room had only large groups causing very loud noise and hard to talk to others at table. Gnocchi was overcooked and hard so couldn't eat. Wouldn't seat us until last two in party of 6 arrived. Wouldn't do two checks although said would on website.
We were celebrating our 6th year wedding anniversary and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. The food was amazing. The service was fast and fun and knowledgeable. We can't wait to go back again.
Excellent fish pasta and pizza! Our foursome went a lot of directions - everyone was happy with their dish. Also nice cocktails and appetizers. Cozy place...bigger than I realized though with tables in back as well.
Buona Terra is always a fantastic dining experience. We had amazing food, delicious wine, and the service was wonderful. Can't wait to go back again soon!
We had a party of six last night, and everybody loved everything. The food was outstanding, the portions were large, and served hot. The only thing that would have made it better was a round table so everyone could see and talk to each other. We will definitely go back again.
Everything is outstanding! The calamari sautéed in red sauce was the most tender we have ever had. The veal was mouthwatering. The swordfish was cooked and seasoned so well. All the pastas we had were cooked perfectly with sauces that are very rich and deep in flavor. Cheppy and Irene and team do an outstanding job of making sure every experiment is the best it can be! Highly recommend!

We mostly ordered from the appetizer menu! Grilled calamari on micro greens, mussels in an amazingly deep, slightly spicy red sauce (I took the leftover sauce home), Greek salad and panna cotta. We split everything and left very happy! We may try the entrees next time, but then again, maybe not...

Outstanding food and a nice vibe. Owner really cares about the patrons.
This place is probably THE best Italian food I’ve ever had. The service is always fast and friendly and I like how they have daily specials which change frequently. Not to mention, their garlic spread is to die for. We got the calamari to start and as our entree, we got the butternut squash ravioli and spicy tomato pasta with chicken. If you’re looking for a place to eat, look no further!

Easily some of the best pasta I've ever had. I ordered the Bolognese and my husband had the linguini and clams. He said it was the best he's ever had. I also want to point out that the head of the house (woman) went above and beyond from the moment we walked in. She even gave me a few to-go bowls to help me with my breakfast for the marathon.

This food is good quality Italian food! Everything we ate was delicious. Not sure about the $14 Aperol Spritz, but everything else was decently priced. We'll be coming back soon!
We tried Buona Terra on a whim and it didn't disappoint! Incredible food combined with wonderful service. The menu had something for everyone (we had vegetarians and individuals with allergies in our party of 8). Everyone cleared their plates! Can't wait to return!
Unbelievably good — the veal ravioli is outstanding.

One of our favorite restaurants for special occasions, celebrations with friends and family, or just a spur of the moment quiet dinner. Love the green goddess pizza, bread and yummy garlic spread, drinks, and desserts.
Buona Terra was a perfect spot for a spontaneous weeknight dinner with my daughter! Their soup of the day was Butternut Squash, the best one I've had. The pizzas are baked in a 700 degree oven, done to perfection, as was the sauteed chicken alla griglia. An exquisite meal in an unassuming location. Highly recommended!
