    We really enjoyed with our seafood pasta and gnocchi, service was amazing , staff was very knowledgeable and friendly . Lots of daily specials apart of the menu which we were informed once we got seated . We loved the cocktails , they were really well balanced and it was nice to see having options whether small or large size of your choice. Coffee also was perfectly made . We cannot wait to come back. Thanks Again!

    Very, very noisy and tables positioned very close to each other. Waitress very attentive and pleasant. Head waiter seemed to be trying to rush us even though we were well within the time allocated ie 1.45 hours. I have dined mid week at this restaurant before and the evening was very enjoyable with wonderful food and no time restrictions . My suggestion would be to dine mid week rather than a Saturday evening

    A local gem in Parkdale! Warm friendly service from the owners with a fabulous cocktail list, cosy ambiance and ever changing fabulous Italian menu. The big winner here is the fabulous Italian wine list at very affordable prices.

    Wonderful local restaurant - very accommodating with a 4:30pm booking for our young family for Father’s Day. Unfortunately, this visit we ate too much for entree and main courses so we didn’t have any room left for the amazing desserts we’ve sampled before. The calamari was particularly delicious as were the oysters.

    The husband and wife (Italian) are hands on and totally engaged with giving you a great customer service experience. Nothing is too much trouble, even a friendly chat. The food is both modern and traditional Italian using exceptionally good produce. We love going to Buono as a treat or to impress.

    Firstly, the service was great, very friendly staff and well presented. Wine was delicious. The food was fresh however lacked any flavour which left us walking away very disappointed (we had 3 entree, oysters and mains). Until the food is improved I won’t be back.

    The desert is really creative, I cannot believe the dessert can be made as bacan and egg. The staff there is nice and friendly. The wine is also good.
