The food was fantastic, the service amazing and the restaurant is so chic. I will return.

09/03/2026 4:30 pm Thursday. This restaurant is nicely decorated and it looks onto a plaza. Our serve Vee was attentive but not intrusive. Started with fresh hot slices of French bread, butter and olive oil with balsamic. Soft and crusty! The Caesar salad! Where have you been my While lime. Lightly dressed with a slight lemon and delicate anchovy flavor. Crisp, cold and delicious croutons. Indicative of the attention to detail and skill that would come in the main course!! Main course risotto all' aragosta. The risotto was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The shrimp juicy and perfectly cooked as well. The 10oz lobster tail was the crowning glory of this dish but did not in any way detract from the rich, cheesy, decadent risotto. Each bite as delicious as the first! 5 stars are not enough for the experience!! read more

Gave them another try, and our experience was as bad as our first. Decent food but very slow service, to the point where it ordered on unbelievably ridiculous. Seriously, we waited 45 minutes to get two glasses of wine. You absolutely need to have a good two hours if you're going to eat dinner there. We will not be giving them another chance. Fool me twice... read more

Parking can be a bit of a bear so be prepared for that. The restaurant is a located in downtown Fort Worth. The spaghettoni verde with tiger shrimp is one of the best. Nicely al dente and the color is beautiful. The lasagna is also a great choice. Here's the downside. Not sure if training is still in progress for the wait staff and bartender but it was a comedy of errors. The restaurant manager was very nice and took care of us. I'd return for the food but may wait a while until that's ironed out. read more

And here it is.. loved this place when it first opened. Went back for round two and it was still good. We brought friends in the other evening and this place has gone down hill badly. Italian chefs are gone and then we found out it's just another Albanian owned pasta shop- I guess these guys don't want to sell their own cuisine?! Hosts, servers, bar and even the management, amazing. The food, bland, over cooked steak and the pasta was swimming in sauce. The lobster ravioli almost made my wife vomit- the fish smell was putrid when she cut into it. The manager apologized as best he could, but over cooked steak and putrid pasta.. will NOT be back. read more

Ambience, service, wine selection, fresh pasta, and happy hour - all 5 stars. BUT the sauce tasted like Chef Boyardee's. Unforgivable to put that on that beautiful, perfectly cooked pasta. I added loads of parm and pepper and still raked off the sauce to eat. The portion was ample but I did not take the leftovers., Previously, I had the cheese pizza. It was gooey with the cheeses and extremely crisp crust. Tasty but not like any pizza I have had in travels from Naples to NYC. Huge pizza for happy hour price. read more

Dirtiest martini ever made by Jaylen. This drink was per perfection. The grilled octopus was perfect and the vegetables it was atop were sweet and juicy. The beet root gel was subtle. We had three different dishes, the pork shank, braised beef and spaghetti verde. All were fantastic. I forgot to take a picture of desert so you just have to trust me . It was the puff pastry with vanilla and covered in chocolate. The name is difficult. Profiteroles. My pancreas just died and I'll be in recovery for a month. read more

We popped in not long after happy hour started and were the only folks in the place. Service was SO friendly! Ambience was pretty quiet since we had the place to ourselves, but I could see how it would get noisy if the crowd was more lively. We were pleased by the food - I got the diavolo pizza, yummier than expected, and she got the chicken piccata (not on the HH menu) but also very good. Give it a try! read more

From the moment you walk in you are welcomed by friendly faces and a very cozy ambiance. I came with my parents and two brothers the day after Christmas and it was a very comfortable setup in one of the back booths. We started off by looking at the iPad with the drink menu, which made selecting cocktails and a bottle of wine very easy. We are big sharers and got a few appetizers along with a pasta to share with our main dishes. I loved the filet I ordered. It was cooked wonderfully, but what really caught my attention was the desserts. The tiramisu was delicious and while the mousse wasn't something I was expecting, it was absolutely delicious. Our server was also amazing. Would definitely be back without hesitation! read more

Service was good, ambiance was good but food was mid. Charcuterie was disappointing. Salad was lackluster and pasta was bland.

Had a great experience here. The new restaurant in downtown FW is elevated yet approachable. Menu highlights include the grilled octopus, handcrafted pasta and pizza plus delicious Italian desserts. They also have lunch specials during the work week. Can't wait to be back! read more

Bellini's and beets did not disappoint. Beautifully crafted cocktails. With gorgeous umbrellas, delicious food. And a DJ spinning amazing house music. read more

Amazing and authentic! A great night out. I had a ravioli dish and loved it. The service was good. We asked our server for a good Chianti and she apologized and said she didn't know much about wine...besides that, she did a good job taking care of us. read more

Our server was amazing and attentive! Our wine and food tasted amazing! Our only complaint was that our food arrived cold to the table and the salad arrived at the same time as the entrees. We will definitely give them another try! read more

Our first visit to Buonissimo last night was a great experience. The decor is bright and modern, location perfect with after-6 p.m. free meter parking just steps away. The food was superb - Ceasar Salad, Osso Buco, Tagliatelle Alfredo with Salmon, Spagetti Vongole. Every dish was delicious and perfectly cooked. Our waitress was attentive but very hard to understand - however, all came out right. Downside - this restauant has the unfortunate policy of cancel-within-48-hours-or pay -penalty. I will never book a reservation under these terms. We walked in and had a choice of tables so suggest that others do the same and maybe this policy will be amended. read more

I went to Buonissimo for a weekday lunch. It was not too busy, seated and served right away. The interior is just lovely. My server was just lovely. The wine collection is massive. The Burrata is just like you get in Italy, SUPERB and my Pesto Pasta was delicious. This is in my top two Italian restaurants in Fort Worth. Parked down the street at a meter. Downtown parking can be tricky. read more

Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. She explained the menu with ease, made excellent recommendations, and elevated the entire experience. Elegant atmosphere, exceptional food, and top-tier service. We will absolutely be back and recommending this place to all our people. read more

The experience tonight was great. A little slow to start because we arrived early. The team jumped in and Ava did a fantastic job subbing in at the bar. She gets a five stars. Jardon our waitress did not stear us wrong. The food was all fantastic. We had Carbonara, Lobster Ravioli, Gnocchi and steak. Octopus and meatballs for appetizers we loved. Tiramisu off the chart. Loved the beet salad as well. Murasal greeted us and stopped by our table several times. Highly recommend this new Italian find!! read more

We had such a lovely experience! Our server Ava was genuine wonderful. Bright, happy, knowledgeable and so kind! Asked for wine pairing suggestions per our order, and she read my mind on what I wanted. All of the staff was great but she definitely stole the show. Food was fantastic, we wanted a lighter lunch and the margherita pizza and pasta salad were amazing. Definitely will visit again! read more

Had such a wonderful experience here, my family is still talking about it. All of the food is so fresh and amazing I ended up over ordering because I wanted to try everything! It's rare for me to say, "This is the best I've ever had," but I found myself saying it multiple times throughout the meal. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Their love for their craft shines through in both the food and the atmosphere. I strongly recommend treating yourself to an evening here with someone special or even just treating yourself! Can't say enough. Hopefully my pictures can speak for me. read more

The charged us for WATER! Food was bland and not worth the over $100 bill with no alcohol! Overpriced and not that tasty!

Buonissimo is a gem! We had an incredible evening, starting with the absolutely perfect ambiance. The atmosphere is the ideal mix of intimate and sophisticated - it truly feels like a special occasion spot. beyond the fantastic food (which was impeccable) the Espresso Martini was world class. Seriously the best I've ever tasted. It was a flawless capstone to the meal. If you value stunning atmosphere, exceptional service, and amazing cocktails, this is a must-visit. Highly Recommend!! read more

The service was absolutely amazing! They really do care about every detail here and you can tell the staff loves working there! The food is beyond phenomenal!

Would recommend to anyone to try this place out! read more

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend the Osso Bucco. Came out to celebrate a birthday and had an amazing time. Our server created an amazing experience and the food tasted perfect! Will be back!! read more

Lovely impromptu lunch location! We are a couple visiting for the Fort Worth arts festival and explored the area for lunch - Buonissimo was within easy walking distance and accommodated us immediately. Ava was especially great - she knew the exact balance of welcoming hospitality and being comfortable personable. For a light lunch, we shared the margherita pizza and pasta salad, which were perfect for us to enjoy for our meal, then continue wandering the arts festival without feeling heavy or lethargic. The cocktails also hit the exact right spot and were freshly-made with care you could see from the dining room directly into the open bar area. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief time at Buonissimo and will plan to visit again thanks to the entire experience. Ava especially should be commended for her ability to make us feel welcomed and special during our visit. read more

Disappointing experience! Went to grab a drink at the bar, only one person was sitting there and the hostess said we had to wait for the bartender to wipe down the bar. It was obviously clean so we just went and sat down. It took a while for the bartender to help us. She was overwhelmed and even told the hostess not to seat anyone at the bar even though there were seats open. She kept complaining about not having clean glasses and did not even talk to us or say thank you when we left. In fact, no one in the whole restaurant said Thank You you when we left. read more

Don't get me wrong, went twice bc the food is fire. Though they've only been in this Fort Worth location a few months, they gotta prioritize the little things like provide napkins or utensils for to-go orders. Each time they forget to give, or at the very least, ask me. Was in a hotel both times....first time had we walking to another forgiving restaurant to get a fork to eat my steak. Me having to open my stapled bag and then ask for utensils is not the desired experience. Take a page from Chic Fil E. read more

Changed the menu slightly from the last time I went. The burrata is pretty solid. Tastes fresh and delicious. The gnocchi was recommended to me, but I was disappointed about the lack of truffle flavor. The lobster ravioli was delicious, highly recommend. read more

When we walked in we immediately felt like the wait staff looked at us like why are you here. Eventually a few minutes later we were approached and asked if there was something we could be helped with. Asked about ordering a pizza and the young lady brought a menu over and then went back to speak with a girl at the bar. We were never offered to sit, and they didn't have a plain pepperoni pizza on the menu. Basically felt like we weren't good enough for their establishment. So our money went elsewhere specifically Buffalo Bros where we were properly greeted and seated immediately. Greater server and food. This place seemed on the fancy side. They don't have half and quarter stars so I had to give a one. read more

I stopped in for a drink and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. When we walked in, we let the hostess know we were just there to grab a drink at the bar. She told us we would need to wait while she "cleaned it off," even though there were only two people sitting at the bar and several open seats available. Once we were seated, the bartender was extremely rude and unwelcoming. At one point, I overheard her tell the hostess "last one" when another guest sat at the bar despite there still being multiple open seats. The whole interaction felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. I will not be returning. read more
