Buono Restaurant & Bar

Amazing and authentic Italian food at really reasonable prices! We come all the way from south Yarra!

Really great food recommended by a great service staff.
Not sure about the cocktails.
Definitely great overall

Not great …oysters were tiny but charged $6 each, minimal fish in linguine, and empty shells in the mix … bread was reheated/ toasted but could have been stale … for the prices $$$ definitely not worth it …
Drinks were lovely though … service was good …. Food though below average.

Disappointed

Classy place to come dining with a friendly atmosphere and excellent service. The dining room has a nice feel with the windows providing a nice atmosphere especially during the early evenings as the sun sets.

The menu is small but, along with the daily specials, has enough to satisfy most. On the occasion that we went for dining, we ordered from the specials menu and it was amazing - great taste and freshness of ingredients presented really well.

Amazing service, delicious food and beautiful presentation! Thank you for making my birthday special!

Our go to Italian restaurant, these guys are seriously good always on top of their game with both traditional and modern dishes always beautifully executed with passion skill and flair.

Very interesting selection of regional Italian dishes and some very unique desserts. Extensive wine list which includes Australian and Italian varieties by the bottle and a good selection by the glass. Service is very good staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Loved everything we ordered. And when you come away from a meal and think "I could see myself being friends with the waitor and waitress", you know the service was fantastic. Home made gluten free pasta was AMAZING and they had no problem with us requesting a few substitutions. 5 stars no exaggeration.

Lovely place. Very nice and kind personnel. Tasty and very authentic food. Thank you guys!

My girlfriend brought me here for my birthday last year in November, but I just realised I forgot to leave a review despite the fact that this was one of the BEST dining experiences I’ve ever had.

I start from the beginning

- I ordered a spicy cocktail, and unlike most of my experiences with spicy cocktails, this cocktails was actually spicy and very well balanced right up my alley. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had.

- Then we ordered one starter (calamari), which is one we usually do when we go to places like this, we order one dish for both of us before we order mains. Often when you order an entree, regardless of how many people order it, they bring it in one plate. These guys actually served us the one entree we ordered in 2 seperate plates, perfectly portioned as if we had ordered two entrees. It was a nice touch and we didn’t expect it. So we both appreciated it very much

- Then the mains. The mains were also really good. Cooked to, perfections, beautifully presented

- The icing on the cake was, they didn’t know it was my birthday, but the manager, overheard my conversation with my GF, and outta nowhere we got a plate that said “happy birthday” with some nice pieces of chocolates on it. That’s something you’d expect from a Michelin starred restaurant. A couple of pieces of chocolates isn’t the most valuable thing, but it’s the gesture that matters. Especially when you don’t expect it at all.

This was one of the best dining experiences of my life and it made my birthday really special last year. I’ve only been reminded to leave a review here, cause I’m going back again for the first time since my birthday, as my mates birthday is coming up and I decided to bring him here to make his birthday special too as mine was.

Delicious modern Italian cuisine and cool cocktails. Awesome service, genuine Italian hospitality
