We always come here for breakfast- the prices are great when you have a larger family, but also the food is AMAZING. The staff is always super helpful and friendly, the food is preped fast (we’re always starving when we come) , and the bolero music gives you a real authentic dining experience.

Buon is a great local neighborhood restaurant. Wether you are in the mood for a quick lunch or a nice sit down dinner they will cater to your cravings. The Paninis are the all time best and they give you such a big portion. Their soups are … More

I used to give it 4 stars. But I minused 1 due to their new policy of charging $3.95 if you pay with a credit card. There are many sides to who should carry the credit card fee, and who should carry the extra cost of minimum wage going up. … More

Most recently went for a private event and have been there for lunch. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. It is a very versatile place hence the name cafe & trattoria serving delicious pastries, coffees, dishes and drinks.

Great local spot. Diverse selection of choices on menu. From lamb burgers to Greek salad with grilled chicken or steak, to a panini. Prices are average, nice atmosphere very friendly. Tables outside for warmer weather.

The food was very good but the service is HORRENDOUS! No other way to explain it. You will wait 20 min to get a glass of water, another 30 minutes to get your check after asking three times. Waiters are always on their phone hanging out … More

Fantastic restaurant, easy parking and GREAT FOOD and service. Ambiance is good, but you can't beat the food, selections and desserts. Not very expensive for the quality and quantity you get.

Food is good service is the worst on the world I swear. I will never come back there anymore. My 4 last time I went there the shorter time I ordered omlet and took them 52 min and they brought different orders. I call manager and told him service is the worst ever seen.

Good food, good service. No complaints except for the 3.9% non-cash adjustment charge for using my credit card. Not told until AFTER I charged. Sign is on the counter. I read it on my way OUT!

In-house service is still there best. However, take-out has much to be desired. We have been loyal patrons for over five years, yet 9 out of 10 pick-up orders (now even delivery) are missing items. Very discouraging for a local food provider during these trying times. Check your bags before you leave.

Love the place and the area, I know it's tough to maintain during this pandemic but I found flies on the food. I did notify them but the guys didn't seem to care about that.

Went for breakfast today for the first time in months because I heard that the service has improved. Very pleased. My food was delicious and came out with no delay. Coffee refills on spot. Their beat waiter, Freddie, is back and this makes all the difference. Will continue to go as long as the service and food remain this good!

Went for Mother's Day brunch, and it was awful. Food always takes a while here, so we were prepared for that, but we were basically neglected. Management is clueless. It took 45 minutes for me to get my watered down mimosa. Our meal was … More

I love the food here and often order takeout. The food is flavorful, fresh and the portions are great. The environment is really inviting- spacious indoor area and a ton of outdoor seats as well. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. This photo does not do the vegetable/goat cheese panini justice but it was delicious!! More

Buon is delicious! I’ve had breakfast, lunch & dinner from there and nothing has disappointed! I even stop there for their Cinnamon Bun Iced Latte’s and they’re 10/10. My ONLY grievance is they’re a little pricey for things like a panini for example. But overall, Buon is one of my local favorites for takeout or eat- in. More

Small cozy place with desserts on display. The gelato was good but we had a very stale cupcake so be cautious of the baked goods. Service needed improvement as well. I would possibly give it another try however my first impression was not that great.
