Italian Beef Restaurant on Western Avenue in Beverly

Buona is a fast food restaurant on Western Avenue, and our Beverly location opened there in March 2016 as the first Buona inside the city limits. Italian beef leads the menu, backed by Chicago-style hot dogs, meatball sandwiches, burgers, tavern-style pizza and fresh pasta. Dine in, order ahead online or use the drive-thru, and when you are feeding a crowd, our Beverly Catering team can help.

Family-owned since 1981, Buona started in Berwyn with one idea: make Italian beef the original way. Our beef is slow roasted until it loses as much as half its starting weight, and that concentrated flavor becomes the all-natural gravy on every sandwich. Our mother’s meatballs simmer in her seasoned marinara, and our pasta is made fresh, never dried, and cooked al dente.

Out running errands on the Southwest Side? Buona also has restaurants in Oak Lawn and Orland Park. See all Buona locations to find the one closest to you.
