   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

   Ticket time was about 50 min due to a large pick up order.

   The day was lovely, so we ate on the patio. Our waitress was very friendly and could not do enough for us. Our lunch orders were plated very nicely and the taste was very good. Would recommend.

   The food was excellent, one of the best steaks we've had in a while. Lobster ravioli and gnocchi gorgonzola were wonderful; desserts very tasty. Our servers were attentive. The music could have been lowered slightly, but over all a great experience. We appreciated the a la carte menu for a holiday (Easter) dinner.

   Thank you, Susan! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Easter dinner with us—the kind words about the steak, lobster ravioli, and gnocchi gorgonzola mean a lot. We also appreciate the feedback on the music volume and will keep that in mind. We hope to welcome you back to Buona Via soon!

   Great spot. Food was above par. If they offer the bronzino and you like fish, that’s what you’re getting. Trust me.

   Thanks so much, Corey! We're thrilled you had a great experience with us. You clearly know your way around a good Bronzino—it's one of our hidden gems! We hope to see you back soon for another delicious meal.

    We celebrated my friend’s birthday. We started off with the seafood tower, antipasto and Cesar salad, which were delicious. For entrees we had Bronzino, swordfish, chicken parmigiana and seafood pescatore. Everything was excellent. The presentation of filleting the Bronzino table side was a special touch. For dessert we had pistachios gelato and tiramisu. Service was top notch. They celebrated my friend’s birthday with a beautifully decorated dessert plate. We will definitely be coming back!
