Such a great place to go for dinner! I had the Pasta bolognese and it was fantastic as always. My wife had the Bronzino special, and she really enjoyed it. Our waiter was phenomenal. Generally everything was great. The bread served at the table was just ‘OK’, as was the olive oil, which seemed like it was infused with something. But those are just nitpicks. Overall, we were very happy with our experience dining at Buona Vita and will definitely be coming back.
