    My cousins and I tried try Buona Terra for the first time. We came here for resturant week and i thoouvht it was a great deal. $45 for any appetizer,entree, and dessert. We each got a different plate and were able to try five different plates. The food m, desserts, and drinks were so good. The service was amazing since we walked in the door. Being that it was restaurant week on a friday night it was crowded but Eileen was very welcoming and made sure we got a good tabel. Our server was also very friendly and welcoming and he had a lot of good recommendations. Eileen made sure she asked us to stop by again. Since we did travel from the Midway area. We all agreed that the drive was worth it and we will be returning🙂

    This is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in my 33 years of life. Best beer I have ever had in my life, the best pretzel I have ever had in my life, and the best food I have ever had in my life. Too full for desert, but if I had tried it, it'd be the best desert in which the likes we have never tasted before. Renee is the best server known to man and women. Any other server could never compare. Quite frankly, she was the best server this country has to offer. We love you Renee.
