"Where do I start? I will say above all that the service in Buona was phenomenal as they were very on several instances. We were there on Sunday night, they were pretty busy. We have a table after about 15-20 minutes? Not bad. Even then they apologized that we had to wait so long. It wasn't a big deal for us. The house made bread was only the beginning of a great night of food. It is served warm and toasty. They give you a sesame roll and a Focaccia with one side of olive base Pesto Dip. 5/5 We ordered an appetizer, garlic parmesan wing. The waitress interrogated us and first brought out garlic cheese bread. She gave it to us on the house while she broke out the garlic parm wing. They were both delicious. I must say that the garlic parm wings are an ABSOLUTE MUST for an appetizer here. They are crispy and packed with garlic parm flavor, AMAZING. So many restaurants do not cook properly wings and they come soggy. The wings here are not Jumbo size, they are on the smaller size, but it is good because it is only an appetizer and taste and texture really made for size. Let's just say these wings had great personality. 5/5 For Entrees I have the Cacio e Pepe with one side of meatballs. Meatballs are definitely some of the better meatballs I had here in StPete/Tampa. The meatballs bathed in their delicious marinara sauce. They are quite large and pack big taste. Cacio e Pepe was delicious. Noodles were cooked exactly right, and the bright white sauce was perfect, not too salty, not too bland. 5/5 pizza was also great. Not too doughy, crispy thin crust. Flavors were just on point with the sauce. It's all in her Marinara sauce! It is definitely on the sweeter side, but not overwhelmingly sweet. 5/5 My friend had applied for a Buffalo chicken calzone because it was not on the menu. Eventually, they were able to accommodate and they came through a hearty and tasty Buffalo chicken cold zone. My friend loved it. All around the table enjoyed their food. No complaint. For dessert we were given homemade tiramisu on the house because they forgot to add a topping to one of our pizzas, again it was not a big thing, but they insisted on a compensated dessert. The Tiramisu was creamy, not too sweet, very rich and light. You will not regret it 5/5 I usually do not write extensive reviews like this, but everything was amazing. Eat locally. We will definitely be back. 10/5! Only a disclaimer: not all accommodations will be able to fulfill all the time whether it is here or a restaurant. That was just the staff that saw what they could do on the mood, and they finally went through. It will not be as every night as they can be totally smeared. Remember that!"
