Had a great meal at Buteras last week. We came with a large party (about 14). They couldn't accommodate a long table so we were awkwardly sideways and couldn't communicate with the rest of the party. For appetizers, we had the margarita pizza and Thai calamari. Both came out quick and delicious. My penne a la vodka was outstanding! Definitely an ample amount and has to take the leftovers home. The ice cream cake that my family brought was melted by the time it was served, but still delicious.

Grilled Shrimp & Goat cheese salad ~ 7.5.25

Open airy restaurant for those who like good service and good menu assortment. Popped in for lunch and to check there event spacing option and availability. Hostess and seemingly shift manager at the time was gracious enough to check our suggested party date and space availability. Yes available so was walked over to the main center dinning area where my size party could be held. Decor is just enough without being over the top. Easily able to add a bit of party themed decorations with little restrictions, great! Took catering details and then sat for lunch to try some of their menu offerings. We started with the crispy Coconut Shrimp appetizer which was a good Large size and not greasy or burnt. Got to love clean frying oil ;) I then opted for the Grilled Shrimp & Goat cheese salad entrée and the Mr went for the Chicken BLT sandwich. Large portion sizes to easily bring half home for a 2nd meal. Too full to try any desserts but had a fair selection of items. Would consider going back to try more or even have an event at this location, easily. Only non-perk is the towns metered parking. So being prepared to look for functioning meter station and pay. Not worth a ticket or tow not to.

Angel's share

Came here for a late dinner for two on a Monday night, no reservation needed and we were sat right away. This place isn't quite like all the other Italian places I've been to around the island that love to shape their atmosphere around brick and that old world Tuscan villa kind of vibe. It's much more modern and contemporary, and I actually kind of like that, even if the cheesiness of the others does give a nostalgic feel to me. There's some paid parking on the street and in a few nearby lots, and if you really want to stretch your legs there are a few free lots just a little bit further down the road. Our server, Jeffrey, was fantastic. On top of being very friendly and helpful, he checked in on us more than I can say for a lot of other restaurants! Sure it might have been a slow night, but he still made sure we were taken care of. Starting with some cocktails, my date got a glass of red wine and I got one of the seasonal cocktails, the Angel's Share, very bright and citrussy, I might not classify it as a fall drink per se, but it was delicious nonetheless. On to the food! They start you with some complimentary warm bread and garlic knots, which is always a good sign (make sure to save a slice for dipping is my word to wise). I got the grilled chicken with spinach and roasted peppers and my date got the ravioli pomodoro. The ravioli is as classic as it gets and I loved the plate they served it on, but we both agreed the chicken was the better of the too. A lot like chicken florentine and paired with some deliciously crispy potatoes, its not a dish to be slept on just because it isn't deep fried and covered in cheese. And on that point, one thing that actually really endears me to this place a little extra is their healthier options, like chicken meatballs, fish and veggie options, plenty of grilled over fried options, and a gluten free menu that's longer than anywhere else I've seen! The portions are also a bit un-italian, and what I mean is that they are not disgustingly huge, which is a good thing! Although I am a sucker for leftovers. We finished up dinner with the chocolate peanut butter cake as the perfect sweet treat. I'd be delighted to come back here and try out more of the menu anytime.

Apple pie moonshine martini
Djudma C.

The apple pie moonshine martini is the owner's secret recipe that he makes himself, it is such a star. If for nothing else I will certainly be back for that. Service was good. Our waitress was great, constantly checking in to make sure we were enjoying everything. The food wasn't anything out of the ordinary for an Italian restaurant.

The pizza is a thin crust! We went with the eggplant, onion, and mozzarella! Very tasty!

The Food was Wow! The pizza was good! But, the pork chop was Great! Service was right on top of all needs! The restaurant felt open and was clean! We felt very comfortable!

Chicken Meatball Pot
Tina R.

Omg love all the dishes here. Practically a weekly diner at this point. Homemade fresh ricotta (love it!!) just amazing. Mozzarella Fritta is light and flavorful. My go to almost every meal is there for the table chicken meatball pot. Just wow enough for the table. The biggest part of what I am drawn to is that the sauce is not sweet and not too acidic so no heart burn. Their service is friendly and inviting. The ambiance is modern and open.

Fantastic girls night with my daughter. Delicious food and great service . Warm and welcoming Italian vibe!! Great choice for a nice night out with absolutely delicious food. Looking forward to our next experience.

Just a quick update ... I had another wonderful lunch here at Buteras . The staff is fantastic, professional and polite as always ! I had the grill chicken with spinach , roasted peppers and mozzarella on focaccia bread .. it was outrageously delicious! Tender flavorful chicken with the veggies and cheese made it so delectable! I opted for the salad with vinaigrette dressing , it was so fresh and tasty ! Perfect place for a really nice lunch !

Chicken Cutlet BLT Sandwich
Jared S.

Not sure why it's taken me so long to try Butera's! I went here this past Friday with my dear friend, Emily B, to celebrate the end of her internship. At the recommendation of both her and our amazing waitress, Tara, I ordered the chicken BLT. I opted for the fries, which I, of course, dipped into the garlic aioli sauce that came with the sandwich. Each bite of the BLT was somehow better than the last. And the fries... wow. They had that rare yet perfect crisp that one can only hope for when ordering them. I came into this meal absolutely starving, yet the servings were so generously large that I ended up taking half of it to go! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Tara again. She was so warm, down to earth, and absolutely genuine. As you can tell by their nearly perfect Yelp rating, their combo of great food and incredible service is surely a winning one. Can not wait to come back! Easy 5/5 for me

Another 5 star lunch. Had to try the shrimp bowl, amazing! Paired with a nice glass of toasted head Chardonnay. Always my go to restaurant when in the area.

Met up for a much needed gal lunch. The food was delicious and good portions. We had wine which did not disappoint. I enjoyed the casual ambiance and the waitress was delightful. Not anyone fault but the parking is a challenge so plan ahead folks! I would come back here for dinner to try their entrees. I've attached photos for your viewing pleasure

Goat cheese salad
Mia B.

All the food was so good! Portions are family size which got a little confusing and crowded, but no one was disappointed with what they ordered. Highlights were the spicy calamari, veal rigatoni vodka, and brownie dessert. Service was attentive and the space is located downtown which is great for a post-dinner walk. Great for family celebrations!
