As one of the most beloved (and highest-rated) Italian restaurants in Chicago for over 22 years, the historic Buona Terra continues to serve scratch made pastas, brick oven pizza, fresh fish and seafood options as well as chops and steaks. The wine selection is meticulously chosen (and inspired by our yearly trips to Italy for the Vin Italy fair) to pair with our different plates made with the freshest ingredients. Chef Chepe sources fresh items from the market daily. He butchers our fish and meats daily, makes all of our sauces and soups in house and most of our deserts. You might note that you see familiar faces as our servers have been with us since we opened our doors.Whether you've been here a hundred times or tonight is the first visit, we think that you'll "Come for the food, leave as a friend".

Wonderful service, only one dish we didn't absolutely love (the octopus could have used some lemon or something). But the only real problem is the cold air - the vestibule, it does nothing to keep the wind out.

Service was excellent. We dined for our anniversary and they were so accommodating for our special night. Our waiter was very friendly and inviting. Ambience was romantic, especially next to the fireplace. The samosa dish had a lot of great flavors! Pork belly, waygu beef, and chocolate dessert were also our favorites!

Loved our meal at Swift & Sons! The food was great, the service was outstanding and we enjoyed the whole experience. Also, if they have monkey bread when you're there, do NOT miss out. You need it.
