Buona opened on Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn in June 2019, and our catering team has been feeding the neighborhood ever since. From board meetings and staff trainings to birthdays, graduations, and holiday get-togethers, we cater events of every size across Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Downers Grove, and Oakbrook Terrace.
It all goes back to Chicago’s original Italian beef and the recipes our parents brought to our first restaurant in 1981. We still cook the way our family taught us, with slow-roasted beef, homestyle pastas, and sauces made from scratch, and that’s exactly what lands on your table when Buona caters your event.
Tell us how many people you’re feeding and what kind of day it is, and the menu does the rest. A full buffet covers the main course, sides, and dessert in one order. Boxed lunches keep a meeting moving. Sandwich trays and à la carte trays let you mix Italian beef, pasta, salads, and sweets to match your crowd.
