Buona Catering, located on Arlington Heights Road, has been a go-to for Itasca businesses and families for years. Our location is near Irving Park Road and Thorndale Avenue, close to Hamilton Lakes and the village’s office parks, which puts us in the perfect spot for fast pickup or on-time delivery.
It all started with one small restaurant in Berwyn that the Buonavolanto family opened in 1981. Our Italian beef is still Top Sirloin, dry roasted for hours so the drippings become the base of our natural gravy, exactly as the original recipe requires. Every Sunday Gravy tradition in our family shows up in the food too, from the fresh rigatoni cooked al dente to the marinara handed down from our grandmother.
Some events call for a hot buffet, and others just need lunch in a box. Create your own buffet with two or three entrées plus a salad, order sandwich boxes, premium salad boxes, or protein bowls for every seat at the table, set out pre-made sandwich trays, or pick individual à la carte trays of chicken, pasta, salads, and desserts.
Pair Italian Sausage and Peppers or Chicken Parmesan in vodka sauce with Signature Rigatoni and a crisp salad for a complete Itasca buffet.
Vodka Chicken Parmesan Cutlets, Grilled Chicken, Meatballs Marinara, Italian Beef, and more, individually wrapped with chips.
Sandwich boxes, Honey Mustard Chicken and Spicy Chicken Ranch salad boxes, and the Beef and Sausage Bowl, ready for every seat.
Lemon Chicken, Ricotta Cheese Ravioli, Meatballs Marinara, and Signature Buona Beef with sweet peppers and giardiniera, by the tray.
The Old Neighborhood House salad, Classic Caesar, and premium options like the Buona Original Chopped Chicken.
Hand-filled cannoli and a cookie and fudge brownie tray to round out any meeting or party.

Itasca is home to corporate offices, hotels, and Hamilton Lakes Business Park, and Buona is a popular choice for office lunches, business meetings, and employee appreciation events throughout the area. Boxed lunches with sandwiches, salads, or protein bowls make it easy to feed a team, while trays of Tuscan Pomodoro Grilled Chicken, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Arancini Beef Bites work well for larger corporate catering orders. We also cater staff lunches and team banquets for schools in Itasca School District 10 and Lake Park Community High School District 108.
When the party moves to your place, our catering services make hosting simple. A Signature Buona Beef tray with fresh Italian bread, sweet peppers, and hot giardiniera is always a hit, and kids birthday trays with chicken tenders, jumbo hot dogs, and Rigatoni Alfredo keep the younger crowd covered. Add Nonna’s Potato Salad and a cannoli tray, then pick it all up on Arlington Heights Road or have it delivered.
