Buona opened on Roby Corlew Lane in Murfreesboro in September 2025, our first restaurant outside the Midwest, and it shares the space with The Original Rainbow Cone. Our catering team is now bringing Chicago’s original Italian beef to offices, schools, and families across Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
The recipe belongs to the Buonavolanto family, who opened their first restaurant in Berwyn, Illinois, in 1981. We dry roast Top Sirloin for hours and let the drippings become natural gravy, following the original family recipe. Pasta is cooked to al dente, and the marinara is a family recipe passed down through generations.
Start with the format that fits your event: an all-inclusive buffet, pre-made sandwich trays, boxed lunches, or à la carte trays. Then add salads and desserts so the whole meal is covered.
Signature Buona Beef, Tuscan Pomodoro Grilled Chicken, and Ricotta Cheese Ravioli make a full buffet.
Buona Beef, Italian Sausage, Grilled Chicken, and Hamburger sandwiches arrive ready to serve.
Sandwich boxes, Classic Grilled Chicken Caesar salad boxes, and Chicken and Avocado Bowls for each guest.
Chicken Parmesan, Signature Rigatoni Marinara, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Italian Sausage and Peppers by the tray.
Honey Mustard Chicken, Classic Caesar, and Old Neighborhood House salads with all-natural dressings.
Cannoli, fudge brownies, and chocolate chunk cookies on a dessert tray.
