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.

    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!
