Reviews
First try after hearing a few people say this place was great, and I am so happy we tried it!! The start of the meal with warm bread and a delicious garlic pesto is mouth watering. Overall, all of our dishes were SO Delicious! Excellent, fresh homemade pasta cooked Al Dente. I recommend trying the grilled calamari - so much flavor and cooked perfectly. I would come back for the Ciacio e Pepe again (which my husband ordered) and I had the corkscrew pasta with Parmesan cream, peas, prosciutto and mushrooms. Also very delicious! My friend tried the special with butternut squash and shrimp scampi- the shrimp was giant and so fresh! Cooked perfectly.
Only thing i would say is get there early, we arrived at 5pm and by 5:15 every single table was taken! The restaurant gets very loud also. Service was very friendly and food came out quickly without feeling rushed. Desserts were also wonderful- I’d you have room left!
I'm currently trying to determine how frequently I can eat here per week without looking like a weirdo or going bankrupt.
Firstly, the bread with roasted garlic spread was a genius idea. I'm going to try that at home. The wood fired chicken special tasted delicious. The Caesar salad was the only thing that didn't wow me, but it's what you'd expect.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting. You can't beat the smell of a wood fire oven.
This was such a pleasant surprise/hidden gem for the neighborhood. The whole meal was amazing, portions were good and the flavors were on point. I would rather come here than deal with the hassle of going to the west loop or river north where I usually aim for date nights; that’s how good it was! Service was great and they even gave us the most amazing cheesy soft chewy hot out of the pizza oven bread on the house when we asked for extra bread to sop up the sauce in the mussels.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Rotini de la nona and Rigatoni Buona Terra are my go tos. Incredible flavors, great portions and tons of variety.
The service is 5 stars. Catch Chepe at the full bar and get an amazing chat to go along with your experience.
They have a private party space too! No extra charge on most days.
The steak was OUTSTANDING!!! Perfectly seasoned, juicy and tender.
Pork chop was cooked to perfection.
The only thing they need for atmosphere is music.
Just love this place. Had the bolognese this time and it was delicious. Met a friend. Hadn’t seen in a year and we had a 2 hr plus dinner and never felt rushed. This is a neighborhood gem! My friend had the pork chop and that was delicious as well
Buona Terra did the catering for my wedding and my gosh did they do an amazing job. From the wonderful food to the deep level of care they gave me when planning the menu, I cannot express just how grateful I am for all they did. My guests commented just how delicious the food was. I really want to highlight that I didn't just feel like a customer when working with them - they treated me like I was part of their community and they were there to help me celebrate. Do yourself a favor and experience this restaurant. From the food to the people, you will be so glad you did.
First time here, really impressed by the service and the menu options. This used to be Hearth and Crust, and since I’m always on the lookout for great Italian food, this really fit the bill. I ordered pollo affumicato, which combines chicken parmigiana with essence of bacon and mashed potatoes. Definitely a treat.
