Reviews for Buonavita in Enfield, CT
My 8 year old and I thoroughly enjoyed everything from being greeted outside by a waitress who shared the view of the sunset... with us (our favorite pasttime) with a smile, attentive and quick service, accommodating our requests, crayons and coloring mat(obvi. a necessity!), delicious food, and a complete goodbye from all the waitresses as my son didn't want to leave withoutsaying goodbye. His only complaint was the bathroom. (For the record, it was clean, and did have excess supplies and roomspray, soap, paper towels, etc.). He, however, felt there were bugs on the floor and a camera watching him... So, to clarify, itwas just an older tile floor that could use some tlc around the toilets, and the flashing light between the toilets on thewall... I guess it is kinda creepy and random tbh... Overall, it was a memorable evening and we will be back next week to trymore of this hidden gem, off the main road, family friendly, inviting restaurant menu. Kudos to the staff for pleasing my 8year old! ???? Read more
My Husband and I had Dinner Friday night. I have to say I was surprised the menu was not what it used to be. Much less to choose... from. I Chicken Marsala over Mashed potatoes. I ate half of the chicken. Some of the chicken was chewy and hard to eat. I wasdisappointed I have been there before and always enjoyed the food. I don't know why it has changed. Read more
I absolutely love this place! Every time friends or family come to visit we take them here. The food is delicious, the prices... are fair (especially if you score a Groupon). The homemade ranch is incredible. We loved it so much we purchased a cup to takehome. I highly recommend eating here. Read more
Moved to the Shaker Pines community in Enfield 2yrs ago,its located right behind the strip of businesses which include... Buonavita. I love this place,they were one of the small family restaurants that opened back up as soon as possible during thepandemic with delivery service and walk up curb service. They have a great menu Italian/American cuisine the prices aren'tbad,of course they went up like every other restaurant in town. Whether dining in or take out the service is usually fast (good)in other words. And now they have made a outdoor fenced in patio so you can eat outside. Read more
Raise is the last time I'm ever going here. The first time we came it was so great and I think I left a review then. Now the... quality has been gone down. My luch was one of the specials. It looked beautiful, but lacked flavor. My husband had a calzone,and it was again just eh. Hard to eat on a try with paper under it, and lacked the toppings he wanted. But worst of all.....theplace isn't being cleaned. From our seat we saw a vent clogged with dust and dirt, the ceiling peeling, and the top of one ofthe coolers in the kitchen covered with more dust and dirt. This will be our last visit. Read more
Food was a great portion size. I had the chicken marsala lunch special which came with soup and crackers. I got the Chili. Food... was great . Marsala was not overly sweet and chicken not overly dome was great . I even ate all the mushrooms which I usually donot eat at all. Pasta was done well and not soggy at all. Very happy will be going back. Staff was excellent. Read more
Been here a few times their food's almost always awesome. I would pass on the risotto balls though. They had no flavor they just... fell apart when you tried to eat them too wet.. but the drinks were on point and the other apps. Bartender was good too... Read more
I seem to always get the wrong order when I order from here. This time, I ordered a turkey club, but they didn?t put any turkey... on the sandwich. The food is good when it?s correct, but that seems to be about only 50% of the time. It?s too bad because Ilive in the neighborhood, and it would be nice to be able to get some good food. Only 3 stars because I can?t give 2.5. Read more
