    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!

    Such a treat to have such a wonderful restaurant available for creative meals excellently prepared and presented at reasonable prices so close by to the South Jersey Shore! The special lobster filled ravioli was superb, with the pesto sauce the perfect accompaniment. The Branzino special seemed to be ordered by many in small, intimate dining room, and deservedly so. It drew rave reviews for freshness and presentation from those at our table. Service could not have been more attentive.
