Buona began in 1981 as a family restaurant in Berwyn, and the menu still reads like the family’s table. The Italian beef is sirloin roasted slowly for hours, with its drippings turned into the all-natural gravy. The meatballs come from the family’s mother’s recipe, simmered in her seasoned marinara, and the pasta is fresh, never dried.
Other Buona restaurants within reach include Frankfort, Orland Park and Beverly. Browse all Buona locations for addresses and directions.
