Your team was phenomenal beyond phenomenal, making our special day absolutely perfect. Above all, we will never forget the immense kindness, understanding, and grace you showed us when our initial wedding date had to be canceled due to my husband's leukemia diagnosis. You were incredibly accommodating and patient during such a difficult time, waiting over four months for us to reschedule. We are profoundly grateful for your flexibility and compassion, which took a massive weight off our shoulders. When our big day finally arrived, it was everything we hoped for and more. The room looked absolutely gorgeous, elegant, and classy. Our guests have not stopped talking about the food; every dish was hot, delicious, and incredibly high-quality, with a stupendous variety and abundance of portions. What truly set the night apart was your waitstaff. They were exceptionally professional and attentive to our every whim exactly when we needed them. To top off an already amazing evening, your team even went out of their way to help carry all of our gifts, cards, and personal belongings out to the car. Thank you for your warmth, seamless execution, and flawless hospitality. We are so incredibly pleased with the outcome and will absolutely be back to host more functions with you in the future.

I just wanted to see if they serve wine in a glass that could seriously hurt someone in a bar fight. They didn't disappoint. My pre meal Negroni came in a martini glass. Odd choice. The waitress asked if I wanted bread. The basket was 3 pieces of white bread. Not the Italian bread I expected, but when you're an Italian restaurant with a French name, all bets are off. I got the meatball parm sandwich. It came on the same white bread I got in the basket. Along with pickles and mashed potatoes. Not exactly meatball parm friendly accessories. The $15.00 9 ounce pinot noir pour was about 2.5 pounds with the weight of the wine glass. Apparently this place has been around forever so good for them. I guess I don't understand why.

Both meals were absolutely delicious! Mouth watering. Huge portions. Not very impressed with the staff. Our server was coughing all over everything while making our drinks and seemed to be skimping out on our Martinis by pouring out the remaining drink in the shake cup instead of pouring in a glass with the rocks. My spouse ordered a dirty martini and she didn't know how to make it. Whatever she did, it tasted horrible and made my spouse sick. When the night bartender arrived she appeared to be very unhappy. Didn't smile once and barely greeted us. Kind of a shame because the place seemed to be a cool local spot for people to gather. We will be back, hopefully the staff will have their smiles on!

Had an interesting experience at Buono Bistro in North Andover and want to see if others have…read moreexperienced something similar. Have never been there before. Got a Groupon that made the risk of a first time experience very appealing. Went during a weekday - we thought the food was good. We had calamari as an appetizer. I then had the Bueno Land sea chicken (very good) and my wife had chicken broccoli penne (it was ok). Service was very very slow and the waitress was nonexistent when we needed her. She also never checked in on us after we got our food that someone else dropped off. But here was where it got odd. After waiting about a half an hour for the bill we told the waitress we had a Groupon. It had a have a cash value of $40. When she brought over our bill, it was not itemized as all. It had the total supposedly after removing the $40. it also had a spot for the tip and it had the standard recommended tip percentages pre-calculated below. After looking at it for a bit things seemed the total amount was too high . We asked for the itemized bill and after about 20 minutes, we received it only to find out that she had added a tip already to the total amount. there's no way we would've known that to me this smells like a scam. She purposely did this to try to get a double tip. I find it odd that it would be the policy of a restaurant to add a tip for just two people And not let them know about it by not giving them an itemized list of what was ordered. Below is the only thing that came to the table when we asked for the bill. The Groupon of $40 had been removed but she hid a tip in it.
