   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.

   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!

   Mario our waiter was polite, professional and appropriately attentive. Those who assisted him in serving were also very pleasant and efficient. The food is always delicious with a real Italian flair! I would highly recommend a visit to Buona Via!

   This restaurant stands above all other Italian restaurants I have been to in Bucks or Montgomery county. I’ve been to Rome a few times and never could find true authentic Italian cooking until I ate at Buona Via. Try it once and you will understand. 10/10
   

   Buona Via RistoranteResponded on April 17, 2025

   Thank you, Jason! Hearing that Buona Via brought you closer to the flavors of Rome than anywhere else in Bucks or Montgomery County is the highest compliment we could hope for. We appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon—Grazie!

    Overall, everything was great! My mom ordered the shrimp and scallops and mashed potatoes, and everything was pretty much cold, for $33 that should not have been the case. She sent it back, it came out hot. Food was great, bread was great! They offer you enough water to be able to float home, constantly, "would you like more water?" Desert was good as well, just a bit pricey for things. Took a while to get an iced tea.

    Thank you for your review, Glenn! We're glad you enjoyed the food and our fresh bread. We apologize that your mom's meal initially arrived cold. We're happy we could quickly rectify that and serve it hot. Your feedback about the service speed and the wait for the iced tea is incredibly valuable to us, as it helps us improve. We appreciate your comments on our dessert pricing as well. At Buona Via, we're committed to providing excellent food and service, and we look forward to your next visit!
