Buona opened on Touhy Avenue in Skokie in June 2020, and the restaurant shares its space with The Original Rainbow Cone. Since then, our catering team has served offices, schools, healthcare teams, and families in Skokie, Lincolnwood, Niles, Morton Grove, and Evanston.
The story goes back to 1981 and the Buonavolanto family’s first restaurant in Berwyn. We still dry roast Top Sirloin for hours and let the drippings become natural gravy, following the original family recipe. Pasta is cooked fresh to al dente, and the marinara is the same family recipe handed down for generations.
Feeding twenty coworkers or several hundred guests starts with picking a format. Choose an all-inclusive buffet, pre-made sandwich trays, boxed lunches, or à la carte trays, then add salads and desserts to finish the spread.
Signature Buona Beef, Ricotta Cheese Ravioli, and Lemon Chicken can all share one buffet.
Italian Beef, Combo Beef and Sausage, Chicken Parmesan, and cheeseburgers, ready to serve.
Sandwich boxes, Old Neighborhood House salad boxes, and Beef and Sausage Bowls, one for each guest.
Tuscan Pomodoro Grilled Chicken, Vodka Chicken Parmesan Cutlets, Signature Rigatoni, and Fettuccine Alfredo by the tray.
Honey Mustard Chicken, The Buona Original Chopped Chicken, and Classic Caesar with all-natural dressings.
Cannoli, fudge brownies, and white chocolate macadamia nut cookie trays for dessert.
