“I’m working on a project here from Tennessee when a coworker took me to Buon Giorno for lunch. As soon as you walk in, the fresh bread aroma is amazing. On my second visit to the Pasta Bar, Kyle the Chef actually remembered what I got the week before. The made to order pasta is awesome and make sure to get the fresh bread that goes with it.”

“Incredible staff!! Some of the best and kindest service, the one boy, name started with H I believe but I can’t recall for the life of me, was simply outstanding.

However, it was piping hot in that building! I needed three extra waters just sitting in there! Crank the AC!”

“just we had a bad experience yesterday. my husband ordered the el pastor with corn tortillas the waitress comes back with our food and said they ran out of tortillas and they had to make some, and does he still want them of course he does after about 5 mins we stopped her and she says the cooks don't want to listen to her. so about 8 mins later she comes back with 3 tore up looking tortillas. we go to pay the bill mind you I left a 6 dollar tip even tho she took ten mins to greet us and ask if we needed drinks. my bill was 51.52 I gave her a60.00 she asked if I needed change. I said yes she then pulls a paper and try to subtract 51.52 from 60.00 she gave me 4 dollars back I was already home when I counted the change she gave me back”

“The husband took our 4 year old and 7 year old to eat dinner there today without me. He ordered 1 kiddie bowl of pho and a 2nd kiddie bowl of broth and meatballs only. They charged him for 2 adult phos (16.00 each= 30 total) ontop of the regular entres he ordered (75.46 total). We've been dining there almost once a week for the past few months spending close to 100 each time. Very disappointed and show no value to loyal customers. Never returning.”

“We were here for dinner over the weekend and everything about this place was phenomenal we tried multiple things off of the to share or not portion of the menu and loved every bit of it. The whole grilled fish our waitress mentioned rotates depending on what is available fresh and it was cooked to Perfection and probably our favorite thing all weekend. The cocktail menu is unique and everything that we had the opportunity to try was delicious I highly recommend doing the cocktail flight to anybody who doesn't have a favorite spirit. Staff was incredibly friendly and knew what they were talking about if you had questions. To those looking at going here reservations are a must!!!! Great atmosphere as well”

“The staff are incredible and the food is outstanding I've never had anything like it, not to mention the bar is so gorgeous I could look at it forever. My husband and I have been here three times and we will be back again, soon I hope!

Will definitely be back!”
