We dropped in on a random Tuesday night with a bunch of family and were blown away. Best mozzarella sticks ever, amazing portions, solid wine pours. We ordered way too much food, but I’m taking every morsel home.
We had an awesome experience here during our Long Beach visit. My wife ordered the Chicken Parmiggiano, and I ordered the Margherita Pizza. Both were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We will gladly come here again on our next visit!
First time trying Buono's. We like the downtown location and the plaza where you can enjoy your meal outdoors. The food was very good, it came out hot and the portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. The wait staff seemed ill trained and not really enthusiastic about wanting to help. Nothing bad or rude just very mediocre. We will definitely be back.
This was my 2nd meal from Buono's and my first time eating in. It was a relaxing and lovely experience. We walked in around 5:45PM on a Sunday and we were greeted cheerily by the staff. There was plenty of seating available in the front of the restaurant, in the back, and in the outdoor patio area. We luckily made it in time for Happy Hour so we ordered a side of parmesan garlic fries to start. 4/5 If you're really craving fries, you can order but there were pretty basic with a lack of parmesan garlic flavoring. The texture was crispy and well cooked though. Bonus points for giving lots of ketchup to eat it with. We ordered a medium pizza and full pasta dish to share. 5/5 The rigatoni pink sauce with pancetta and mushrooms was sooooooo tasty! They did not skimp on the pancetta. A very flavorful and satisfying dish. Would order again! 5/5 Our pasta came with large fluffy soft garlic knots. Perfect to soak up the extra pink sauce from the pasta. 5/5 Buono's is known for their pizza so highly recommend ordering one when you're here. The dough is fluffy, crispy, and on the dense side. The red sauce is well seasoned and not too acidic. We got ham, mushrooms, and bell peppers for toppings. We were stuffed with plenty of leftovers to space. We walked here but there is a parking garage around the corner where you can get parking validated. Will be back to try the lasagna and other pasta dishes. A great place for groups!
Delicious pizza! We discovered it after our trip to the aquarium and made the walk to Buonos. The kids loved it and we have made the drive to go again from orange county. Best mozzarella sticks we have ever had!!!
