As one of the most beloved (and highest-rated) Italian restaurants in Chicago for over 22 years, the historic Buona Terra continues to serve scratch made pastas, brick oven pizza, fresh fish and seafood options as well as chops and steaks. The wine selection is meticulously chosen (and inspired by our yearly trips to Italy for the Vin Italy fair) to pair with our different plates made with the freshest ingredients. Chef Chepe sources fresh items from the market daily. He butchers our fish and meats daily, makes all of our sauces and soups in house and most of our deserts.

Our waiter James B. was wonderful helpful, patient and fast. The entree’, ravioli, while delicious was not as hot as it should have been and the charge was removed. The guacamole was tops, the soups were delicious and both were enjoyable. The booth was perfect for us and noise level was conversational friendly.
