Buona Ristorante

A little hesitant to leave this review because I fear enough people will discover this amazing gem and then I’ll have trouble getting a table moving forward. However, I owe it to the establishment and my foodie followers a genuine honest review.
Service was excellent. Our server Seanna was very kind, attentive, thorough and provided great recommendations. The bruschetta was absolutely delicious with fresh basil, diced garlic, onion, tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette. The lobster ravioli was easily a 9/10 and the house Bolognese a 10/10. We were very impressed with each dish and the quality of ingredients truly shined through. I’m very much looking forward to returning again, which may very easily be in less than 24 hours, because it was just that good. You will not be disappointed by your visit . You will be wowed.

Buona is the best Italian place in St Pete!! Food is authentic and wonderful. We normally have a pizza which are huge! But tonight we tried the lobster ravioli and shrimp scampi and both dishes were amazing. Miss Susie our waitress was very attentive and amazing. We give both staff and restaurant 5 stars and can’t wait to go back!

I am FLOORED by how amazing the food and service was. I did not go in with high expectations but I left with them.
I can't believe how amazing this hidden gem is! I'm coming back tomorrow to try the pizza to go!
The owners/management seems so friendly with the customers and staff! So well ran, the staff was INCREDIBLE and all seemed to work together greatly.
I'm just so impressed with the staff, atmosphere, and above all- the food. Their Marinara is unmatched!

We were greeted by a welcoming young gentleman who promptly shown us to our table after removing 2 of the place setting on a table for 4 people. Our waitress was very friendly and informative about the menu. My wife had the Brussel sprouts as a starter followed by the Stromboli for her entree, I had the calamari and the Lobster Ravioli for my main we shared a house salad All the food was of great value and quality and the tasty. I would recommend this restaurant but the restaurant is small in size but great atmosphere get there early. Great meal.

A personal favorite on St. Pete Beach. The atmosphere is always welcoming. They have indoor and outdoor seating and offer a variety of Italian dishes. I’ve never had a bad meal here. And the food is soo good, I never have space for dessert.
