Ambience, gourmet, professional. Buona Sera as above five stars in every way. The staff is professional polite, and well first with all the manual choices. The size of the meal that you receive is unbelievable. We recommend Buona Sera to all.

Went for first time. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. However, as soon as we walked in i knew the food would be ok at best. Not authentic Italian. Glorified pizza place food was basically what it was. Server was very nice, just very unsure. Possibly new. Once and a while you'd get a whiff of the cigar bar next door. Not pleasant. There are so many great restaurants around, I wouldn't repeat going back to this one.
