I had the beet salad - the arugula seemed day old - very wilted and tasteless. Taste was terrible. The bolognese dish - was better, however, the sauce again, lacked in flavor.

Had a great dinner with out of town friends. The veal marsala was very tender,veggies down just right. The salmon my friend had was also very good. And I saved the best for last,my Bronzino was filet at tableside,also served with capers and veggies. It was delicious! Lemon blueberry cheese cake shared was just right. Our servers was also very attentive ! Cosmo's excellent! Will go back for happy hour too!

My husband and I came for her date night and it was a first time here. Everything from the service, food, drinks, atmosphere was simply amazing! Will definitely be back again.

There were little fruit flies during the entire meal. Will not return. It truly ruined the overall experience.

Great service and excellent food. Surprised us with a birthday cake even though we did not tell them it was anyone's bday. That was a great surprise!

1st time dining there. Loved the outdoor covered patio, made the summer evening pleasant. We both felt the food was outstanding with great flavors. Service was exceptional with 5 yes 5 different servers. It's moved up on our list of favorite Italian restaurants, probably number #2. We will return.

Food and service were excellent. We like to take time when we dine, we were not rushed. We will definitely be going back.

I have been going to Buona Via since it opened and Restaurante Mediterranean before that. This is the last time we will be returning. The “Manager” is a smug,condescending know it all whoIt seemed like is father owns the restaurant and gave his son the Manager position. First, when we arrived, I asked where Sal was and he lied saying he was here the other day and was off that night. Then when I complained about the food quality, he lied to me saying that Sal was never in the kitchen. The Veal Marsala was not pounded enough and was as tough as leather. The shrimp in the Scallop and Shrimp dish still had the shells on them, in addition to the tails. Branzino has been my go- to dish there as it was so dry, I had to order a side sauce. After the confrontation with the “Manager” a couple of the long time staff came up to us and said it wasn't the same since the new ownership. Sal, enjoy your retirement. But you are sorely missed. Stay away from Buona Via.

This is our local "go-to" restaurant. The food is consistently great, the menu is inviting, and the service is attentive and friendly. We look forward to returning soon.

We all have different food but all was excellent. Wine and all drinks all good and Service was outstanding
Although pricey the food was very good. Service was overly attentive in taking plates away way before finishing. Service seemed to want to clear the table and go home. Most annoying was the "convenience fee" for using a credit card. I mean come on. We spent over $250 for dinner, and the restaurant nickel dimes you for a service fee.

I think the wait staff could have been a little more friendlier. The atmosphere and ambiance could have been a little more Italian. Made a 3:45 reservation because lunch was still being served and we wanted the lunch menu and was told that they start dinner service at 3:30. According to the website lunch is served until 4:30

It's a beautiful restaurant. The architecture is awesome from the inside and outside. Reminds you of Italy☺️ Warm atmosphere. Outside dining looks beautiful. Our waitress was so accommodating and kind. The “Mother's Day Brunch” food taste and options lacked a lot to be desired. You could tell that wasn't the usual there. The food wasn't good at all but the Vibe and Staff was cool. We will return for Lunch or Dinner. It seemed like that may be better. The menu for both sounded good. All of which was not part of the “Mother's Day Brunch” I'm sure the actual Italian Food will be great😊

Parking lot was completely full. We had to park next door and walk up hill to get to restaurant. Not sure what the two hostesses were doing but I checked in for our reservation and we watched them sit other reservations down as well as walk ins. Had to ask when we would be seated. They scrambled and sat us. It was as if they forgotten about us. Food was decent. Calamari was fresh but not crispy at all. Chicken parm was good but risotto was just ok. Limoncello cake was very good.

Food was very good. Signature pear martini was fantastic. Wine selection is good but slightly pricey - amarone is great but $28/glass is high. Bartender was friendly and genuine. Great neighborhood restaurant overall
