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!
