Buona Sera

Rafael and his staff always do an amazing job! The food is always hot and tastes divine. One of our favorite places.

Our waitress, Victoria (I think that was her name) was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious and looked beautiful!

Open table needs to understand that you are not allowed to eat in a restaurant in MN at this time and they should not be taking reservations for anywhere.

Awesome food, great ambiance

Great restaurant with great food and service!

Outstanding food and service

My boyfriend and I had a great experience. The food was great and the ambience was great.

I love this place, one of my favorite places to get dinner, and I love being able to reserve a table ahead of time.

Very friendly staff, food was very good and cooked perfectly.

Absolutely incredible service and food quality. My wife and I paid three times as much for Ruth’s Chris steakhouse and a quarter of the portions. The filet was big and juicy and so tender. The dollar sized scallops were no joke very jumbo and prepped correctly. We will be back again soon. Very friendly staff and we were very well taken care of.

An amazing place with great food and staff. I will be going back soon!

One of my favorite restaurants to go for a romantic dinner. Celebrating our 9th anniversary. The tomato basil soup was disappointing, tasted like it was out of a can, and the wine bottles for a house wine are a little steep. $129 for two without appetizers is on the high side, but it was still a wonderful night. Service was excellent, presentation of food was excellent, and main course was perfect.

Service was impeccable and the food delicious. The only downside to our evening was the Arctic chill of the room. Even after we asked to have the temperature turned up, it never got warm enough to remove coats & scarves.

Great food and service! COVID precautions in place.

Being in COVID times, it was very crowded. It was loud but the service was good and the food better

The food is always amazing and everyone enjoys this restaurant. Such a gem! One of our top 5 restaurants of all time.

Love Buona Sera. Authentic Italian and love Raffaelle!

Awesome meal, great service, and fabulous wine recommendations! We will definitely be back!!!

It was good and fun!

Loved it. Great ambiance and truly Italian. Servers very friendly.

Outstanding service and food, very happy with everything.
Highly recommend

First - LOVE the service and the food. Ginger is awesome! We usually do not order dessert, but as we were there for our anniversary we decided to get three of the specials to go. It was SO disappointing when we got home to find the very small portions for each. For $9 you expect a sharable item. One was smaller than the size of a cupcake w/o frosting. While flavorful, expect more for $27.

Beef Tenderloin was butter knife tender....just fabulous!

Very good experience and the food was awesome!!!

My husband and I love date night here. Great specials, wine selection and the chef always checks to make sure everything he prepares is done perfect.

We were here for our 8 year wedding anniversary. It was busy but seated about 5 minutes after our reservation so not bad. Lots of people crammed in the entry way though. The food was okay. Not as good as we typically expect. Sauce was a bit on the bland side on the chicken parm and my veggies were cold. Service was amazing. Mozzarella stick appetizer was great and the beer was cold. So all I’m all it was okay, however for a kid free anniversary dinner we were hoping for more.

So very glad that they have re-opened - our favorite local place for a special occasion - like any day that ends in a "Y"!

Spectacular experience. The service was outstanding and the chef (owner) came out to greet everyone to check on the food and if they were enjoying their time. Great place for date night with other couples. Food was delicious and made to order.

First time patron for my husband's birthday. The food was fabulous and the staff made the whole evening special. Thank you.

The food was so delicious - we enjoyed Fettuccini Alfredo, Lobster Ravioli, Seafood Risotto and Grilled Salmon. It was a chilly evening and the food and cozy atmosphere were perfect.

Our server was very friendly and attentive to refills. Food was excellent as always.

Love eating here. Food is always good and service is exceptional.

As always, a wonderful experience.

It is a great setting for a private dinning experience. You will like the outside and inside décor, makes you feel like you are in little Italy. The wait staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. The food tasted great and came out perfect. The prices were a little on the high side but worth the experience and we will be back.

We love it here! Was great seeing Raffle... I suggest the Walyie cakes and shrimp appetizer..

Liked the grape vines on the outside of the building, very cute from the outside. Seemed clean inside. Saw the chef a lot in the dining room, felt like he should be in the kitchen. Our server was attentive at first and then she was not. Ravioli are not handmade, they order them in, that was a disappointment for us. The stuffed mushroom appetizer was really good, would order that again.

Our go to place for Italian! We love Buona Sera!

Excellent Italian Food with extreme romantic charm!

Great place! Excellent food and secure. Highly recommended.

I don't feel comfortable eating indoors right now, but we were able to get a table outside and the weather cooperated. The food was great (as always)! There was some noise from the traffic that could be heard on the patio, but it was otherwise peaceful. It's a small place so I would recommend a reservation.
