Fried Calamari
Nicole F.

We had an early dinner on a Friday night, so the place was really empty. We will had a pretty long wait for a server and she seemed kinda annoyed we were there and at any of our questions about the menu. The food took a really long time to come out, which normally I don't mind waiting as long as the food is worth it, but it wasn't. It was decent Italian and we did enjoy the calamari and the mozzarella and eggplant stack, but both pastas were very greasy. The cocktails were your basic options, would probably do wine or a beer if we return. The saving times of this place were the cheesecakes! The chef's mom makes them homemade and they were incredible! The three stars all go to the cheesecake!

Best Dinner I Have Had In A Long Time! The Service Was Wonderful. The Staff Is Super Friendly And Attentive.

Mussels

This restaurant is located on the corner of West Chester Pike and Eagle Road. We've been to their old location but never this one which we've driven by many times. There's a downstairs bar with a few tables and a small upstairs dining room. That's where we sat one warm Friday night by the open window. We started off with cocktails and an eggplant and mozzarella tower which was breaded with Panko and served with rosa sauce. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind, it was still good, and I liked how much sauce there was. I also had the mussels (a special) which were in a delicious broth while my husband enjoyed another special featuring chicken. Overall, it was good, but I'm not sure what would draw us back for a second visit.

Very well-spiced meatball appetizer with a creamy tomato sauce, some spinach, cheese, and crunchy toast
Kiki V.

I was shocked to find such high-quality food in such a run-down suburban mess of concrete! We had lovely outdoor seating experience despite being next to the Starbuck's, and the service was efficient and professional. The prices are high for the area but more than match the quality of the food in my opinion. My only small disappointment was with the slightly chewy and cold bread served. We will definitely be coming back!

Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with spicy ketchup.
Steven B.

These folks have reinvented themselves and the lovely wife and I had the honor and pleasure of attending their soft opening on Wednesday. Their GRAND OPENING was Friday. They closed for a few weeks and they are now a beautifully remodeled Italian BYOB! Let's talk atmosphere. They didn't have much to work with, it's basically a square room, but they did a darn good job with what they had. It's a small place with about a dozen two and four tops. Spacing is fine. The wife and I both commented that their chairs are very comfortable. The colors they choose are nice and the lighting was just right for us. The menu has plenty of variety and should please most folks. We choose a simple appetizer of Cheese Steak Egg Rolls for $9. The ribeye steak was juicy and flavorful. The accompanying spicy ketchup was spiked with Sriracha and has a nice kick. For her entrée the wife choose Mediterranean Sea Bass for $21. This beautiful piece of fish was baked in parchment paper along with artichokes, diced tomatoes, red onion, white wine, olive oil and herbs. She had a choice of having the chef remove the paper or doing it herself. That was a nice touch. She proclaimed it delicious and was especially pleased that it was not too heavy. I choose Girasol Raviolis for $18. They were filled with buffalo mozzarella and served was roasted vegetables, and lots of grilled chicken in a rosa sauce. As you can see from my picture it was a large portion. I thought the vegetables were slightly overcooked but it was still a very tasty dish. For desert we were served a trio of house made deliciousness. See my picture and you know we walked out stuffed and smiling. This is one of three locations for these folks. My fellow Yelpers enjoy the other two and it looks like this location is poised to join the party! We'll be back.

However, the restaurant is small with only about 12 tables indoors, and it was packed. There are also a few tables on Brookline Blvd although it's right next an ice cream shop with people hanging outside the shop right next to where you're eating. Service was efficient and unobtrusive. We received a bread basket and olive oil to start. The bread was plain and nondescript, not at all herby like I was expecting. Our pear and Gorgonzola salad would have been bland but the Gorgonzola in the poached pear was the star of the show. The salad itself was also small for the price. I ordered the scampi with wild shrimp and crab cake and asked for the spice level to be turned up. Thankfully it was and was delicious and full of flavor. The house-made pasta which was part of the dish was a treat as well. My husband said his Chicken Milanese was just okay and not really exciting. He only ate one piece of the chicken. He did get an extra side of pasta, though, which he enjoyed. I had to order the affogato which did not disappoint. Our server poured the espresso over the vanilla ice cream at our table. Yum! Be advised that they sometimes have limoncello but when I asked, they said they had run out. Also, they're byob which is a great money saver.

Fast forward to this latest visit home. I finally secured a reservation...but then late yesterday afternoon my mom's knee started acting up to the point where she could barely stand on it. Fortunately, ice, Advil and rest overnight--and my mom really, really wanting to come here--kept us on track, and tonight I finally made it. It's a cozy spot, and I can see it making an excellent date night, especially since the BYOB setup allows you to bring the wine of your choice (and save some $$). We were seated promptly--this Sunday was relatively mellow--and the servers were super accommodating about removing a chair so that my mom's walker could occupy the unused space on our four-top. The menu is what I call right-sized. It may seem smallish, but there is a strategic assortment of salads and apps, pastas and mains (and, of course, desserts) that is sure to accommodate everyone. Dean, the young man who would go on to do an outstanding job taking care of us for the night (with the other two servers chipping in seamlessly as needed), went through the specials. My mom was particularly intrigued by a squid-ink fettucine with lobster and shrimp (and cherry tomatoes) in a saffron cream sauce. Could we split it as an app, we asked? Would it be too much food? On Dean's advice, we went ahead, while my dad got the mussels. All three of us ordered the pork chop, which my parents have been raving about for a couple years now. How could I not try it? Ordering finished, bread and olive oil (with a bit of balsamic) arrived at the table. Knowing I had a pasta coming and that the pork chop was a good-sized portion, I didn't want to overdo it, which I think was ultimately a good choice. The bread took the edge off, and then the pasta arrived. It was just the right amount for two people to share as an app, and we both enjoyed it, while my dad loved his mussels (and then dunked lots of his bread in it). Then came the main event. The pork chop lived up to (and frankly, exceeded) the hype. It was tender and perfectly cooked and oh-so-flavorful. Definitely one of the best I've ever eaten, and this isn't my first pork-chop rodeo. It was accompanied by asparagus and yummy baby Yukon Gold potatoes; I left a view of the latter, not because they weren't yummy but rather because the pork chop was huge and I was not skipping dessert. For dessert, I went with the house-made cannoli, which was a lovely, sweet (but not oversweet) ending to an excellent meal. I'd be happy to come back to Burrata anytime.

Buona Sera, with roots in Brooklyn, is a reliably good Italian restaurant: white tablecloths,…read moreattentive staff and delicious food. The two of us shared a house salad (apportioned in the kitchen) topped with an order of calamari. If you like calamari, try theirs. Nicely fried rings, tentacles and plenty of 'em. (I have to remember to ask them NOT to dress the salad. I don't really like their Italian vinaigrette.) While the photo of my chicken and T's veal look almost the same, they're not. The sauce on his "Caridinale" has more zing than what's on my "Bolognese." Both good, but his a bit better. If you prefer pasta, as we do, ask the server to swap out potatoes, which appear to be their usual side. In addition to the menu there are always specials, some of which are pricier than expected. (Be sure to check!) Dinner was pleasant and unhurried. We appeared to be one of the few without reservations but if you come later, you may want to make them. Metered street parking is free after 6:00 p.m. Like many Italian restaurants in the area, Buona Sera is BYOB, which is always my preference.

Very strange, since they were able to take my credit card for the deposit. But whatever.... we were all very excited to go. We even decided on our meals ahead of time from their menu online, which seemed a little pricey. Well......first......they had a VERY LIMITED OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE menu for Sinatra Night! They charged $48 for Veal Piccata! In fact, nothing on the menu was cheaper than $36 and that was for pasta!!!! And....you might think that the Veal must have been delicious at that price, but it wasn't!!!! It showed up on a plate soaked in bland gloppy sauce, no garnish, no nothing. They gave me a side bowl with string beans boiled potatoes. It was like they had a bunch of side dish bowls made up ahead of time. They gave absolutely no thought to food presentation, what so ever. And then when the bill came. We had to remind the waiter to apply our $25 per person credit! If they needed to cover the cost of the singer, I get that. But why not be upfront about it and charge a cover? Why not offer your regular menu? They only had one seating all evening. So disappointing! I feel really bad about having to leave this review, because I really want them to succeed, but I really resent feeling ripped off for sub par food at a premium price. On a positive note, Rich DeSimone was fantastic! He makes a great Frank Sinatra. We will see him again, but definitely NOT AT GIAMPINOS! DL

This has happened to us at other restaurants in the past. Our son, a chef, says it happens infrequently, but can, unfortunately, happen. The piece was about 1.5 inches long and, as described to him, was probably from a metal grill brush. The others we've experienced in the past were from the metal pasta strainers. Buona Sera handled the situation well, and the replacement plate was delicious.)
