Buona has been part of the Glendale Heights community on Army Trail Road for years, and in July 2023 we celebrated a grand reopening after a full remodel that brought The Original Rainbow Cone inside the restaurant. Through it all, our catering team has kept neighbors fed at office lunches, school events, graduation parties, and family celebrations across Glendale Heights, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Addison, and Roselle.
Every order starts with Chicago’s original Italian beef, the recipe our parents served when they opened our first restaurant in 1981. We still slow-roast our beef, bake our pastas, and make our sauces the way our family always has, so the food at your event tastes like it came from our own kitchen table.
Big party or busy workday, there’s a format for it. All-inclusive buffets bring the entrée, sides, and salad together in one order. Boxed lunches give every guest a complete meal with no setup. Pre-made sandwich trays and à la carte trays let you build your own spread of Italian beef, pasta, salads, and desserts.
