Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Buona Vita offers an amazing Italian dining experience at the shore with consistently "delicious food" and "great service." Known for tender veal dishes and a delightful BYOB policy, it's perfect for pasta lovers. While the atmosphere can get noisy, the charming outdoor seating provides a quieter option. Highly recommended for its "exceptional" meals and attentive staff.

We frequent your restaurant often. Have Remi almost all the time. His service was great as usual. Food was not good . No other way to put it. And very highly priced. Brought a couple with us to kick off the holiday and was very embarrassed.

Food was good as was the service. Unfortunately the noise level was above and beyond. We couldn’t have a conversation despite being at a small table right across from each other. Very objectionable.

Buona Vita is a favorite of ours! From the consistently delicious food (fettuccine Alfredo, anyone?), to the pleasant ambiance, to the attentiveness of the servers, it is a delight and a meal we look forward to each year!

Excellent experience! Friendly responsive server and the best flounder francaise in the area. Lobster ravioli special is also great.
