   We should have know known when we checked in at 6:55 for our 7pm reservation. First they started to take us back and then stopped and said they needed to clean off our table. In the meantime a walk in showed up and another 7pm reservation showed up. The other reservation was sat immediately. We waited 10-15 minutes for them to “clear off our table” (which was a 2 top ?) Then we were sat at the same time as 3 other tables around us. We sat another 10 minutes before our server came by to take our drink order. It is now almost 7:30 before we even have our drinks. He left for 25 minutes and only came by to take our order after I stopped someone to send our waiter to our table. He takes our very simple order (toasted rav, fettuccine, and a salad) and then we don’t see him for another 20 minutes. Around 8:20 he comes by to see if I got my salad (no). Long story short - to get 2 drinks, a salad, toasted rav, and pasta took over 2 hours. He only came by 4 times total and 2 of those times were because we hadn’t seen him in over 25 minutes and I stopped people to send him to us. And of the 4 tables that were sat around us at the same time, 3 of them eat and paid before we even got our food. Could this be because our server was new or untrained? Maybe. But no one from management checked on us either (unlike a table near us who clearly knew someone because they got their food and check quickly). The food was very good and came out very hot (which lead me to believe the last time I asked for our server he rushed back and pressed the kitchen for our order). But by that time I was so tired of waiting I had him box it up while my husband eat his toasted ravs and bring me the bill. So in short - if the quality of the food that is more important over service then sure go here. I would wait until the kitchen and wait staff figure it out.

   We have recently been dining here weekly because it’s that good. It’s such a joy to bring friends. Everyone who has joined us has enjoyed Buzzetta’s as we have. We have favorites and now are branching out to try new dishes. The Pasta, seafood, salads, drinks, deserts have all been delicious. We understand there’s live music on weekends. We may have to try a weekend next.

   Too over prized for quality of food. Menu indicates what comes with main course, and when u get bill then there is extra charge for side dish. Can't handle order for party of 9. Ordered medium stake, it came over cooked (more than well done). When complained, we got told that for such a big group (party of 9) we should have ordered RARE, because they can't handle. Same group of people love Italian food and go to different restaurants but never had such worst experience. Will never go to this restaurant and recommend not to go.

   Buzzetta’s Italian Cafe is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. We have been going often since we discovered the restaurant this summer - 2024. They have been consistently providing great food, and drinks with excellent service. We have tried a number of menu selections, all have been delicious. Hoping your experience will mirror ours.

    Excellent food, service. $19 for a martini is ridiculous. A bit noisy.
