That was one of the best Valentines menus I've seen in a while. I chose the surf n turn over the seafood fra diavolo but if I ever see that diavolo on the menu again, I'll order it :) John, our server, was great. He was attentive and came just frequently enough to make sure we had everything we wanted.

We could not have asked for a more wonderful early Valentine’s dinner at Buona Sera! The Italian Egg rolls (Appetizer special) was scrumptious!! Our entrees were magnificent- even better than I had imagine they would be! Everyone who worked there was friendly and attentive to our every need. I highly recommend Buona Sera!
