Buona is a family business that began in 1981, when the Buonavolanto family opened its first restaurant in Berwyn. Our Italian beef still starts with Top Sirloin that is dry roasted for hours. Chicken breasts are marinated for 24 hours before they reach the grill or the fryer, and the rigatoni is made fresh, never dried, and cooked al dente. That is how the family has cooked since the beginning, and it is how we cook in Kildeer today.
Other Buona restaurants nearby include Hoffman Estates, Mount Prospect and Algonquin. View all Buona locations for addresses and directions.
