Great food, atmosphere and service. Really good value for money with authentic Italian food. Nice range of meat, fish, pizza and anti pasti. Would really recommend it
I only have positive things to say about this amazing restaurant. The food was delicious, the wine was great, the service was fantastic. I will without a doubt be returning to this gem!
fab evening at a long standing favourite, from when it opened in 1989. Any restaurant lasting that lomng has to be good and Buonasera is. Always good fun and good value.
Great Italian food - especially the pizza and super friendly service. Seemed very good value for what we ate. Couldn’t fault it and will go back again.
Food was delicious, so much so that we ordered 3 courses. The service was very good too and I would recommend a visit to the restaurant.
It was a great experience. The food was very nice and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. I would definately recommend it. Well done Buonasera
Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. The pizza garlic breads are my favourite highly recommend. A seat by the open doors was lovely on a warm evening.
Very nice food and food service. The weather was nice so the outside was open which added to the niceness. Excellent all round really. Thanks
Nice food (if a bit more expensive than it used to be), friendly service, and good atmosphere. We've been coming here for about thirty years for family birthdays. I am missing papa. Has he retired?
Always have fun here, it's always has a great buzz with fab staff that are very friendly and generous on the shots! Food is what you'd expect from a rustic type restaurant
Excellent quality straight forward Italian cuisine. Pizza is particularly strong and very much recommended. Portion sizes are pleasantly generous. Would happy come back in the future.
The best Italian restaurant in London and seriously giving many in Italy itself a run for their money! Great atmosphere, bustling with friends catching up over small dishes, birthday groups celebrating, couples enjoying great wines and prosecco. Then to top this off the food is insanely good. We order the anti-pasta platter to start, followed by the pappardelle, seafood linguine and ricotta ravioli. AMAZING! Just do yourself and everyone you know a favour and go to this place for all occasions. As you can probably guess, I'll be back very soon.
The experience in Buona Sera was perfect in every way. Friendly and accommodating staff, excellent food and warm ambiance. They made my 40th Birthday one to remember. Thankyou Buona Sera
Great night out!! Friendly service and good food. Atmosphere was buzzy all evening and the service attentive and fun! We will be back very soon
Nice food - everyone was happy with their choice - staff helpful - will return in the future. Good location not far from Clapham junction station
As ever, Buonasera is totally reliable for great food, great atmosphere, great service. My Italian friend was super-impressed by the quality of the pizza and pasta and we all found the waitresses combined efficiency with charm. I chose to come here for an evening with just two girlfriends because, on a Monday night, I reckoned it would be less empty and more atmospheric than other restaurants - it was a good choice. It can be pretty noisy when very busy, because of the tiled floors etc, but this was just right with about 1/4 of the tables occupied. Spot-on!
Great food and top service, very attentive staff. The waiter gave great recommendations - I had the veal with saffron risotto special and would highly recommend!
This is one of our favourite restaurants, my friends and I always meet up at Buonasera, the manager always welcomes us and the staff and just so adorable and attentive to our needs, always with a smile. One of the best Italian Restaurants. Anna
Despite asking two or three times to turn the music down slightly we were ignored. A group of six of us and we could not have a conversation between us as we couldn't hear what each other were saying. In addition 3 9f us ordered sea bream fillet. There were bones in almost every mouthful so we did not finish the meal. Such a shame as we used to enjoy coming here in the past.
We enjoyed excellent food from a varied menu. Although it was busy the service was quick and accurate. There was a friendly atmosphere. Would definitely visit again
We had a very good pizza. The staff is nice. Very easy to book and easy to find place for big groups. Just a bit noisy,
Very kind and friendly staff and wonderfully family friendly. We felt very welcome. The food was delicious and there was a great variety of choice. Thank you :)
Very friendly and welcoming service. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the tomato and garlic bread, so light and tasty. Lovely family feel. Veg lasagna very good
Wonderful accommodating staff who make a special occasion, great food, plenty of space good location, accommodated our large group of 13 without a problem, great
The food was nice but their were too many little kids screaming at the time I went. Secondly the pizza where massive which was great an it was a great value for your money. Must go again.
Very nice restaurant, the pizza was decent, but no choice of non-alcoholic beers/ales which was a little disappointing. The service was very good and helpful.
I booked for 6 people and I was only one to have dined there before. They were all impressed with the food and service and as we all live in different parts of London, it's a good place to meet again
Restaurant was extremely busy which meant on a couple of occasions I had to gently remind the staff when I was ready to order/ pay but other than that we enjoyed all of our meal and was good value for money 💗
Delicious food & good service. Had a nice big table for our family meal. We will be sure to visit this restaurant again. Thank you!
Lovely family run Italian restaurant. They provide generous portions and the pizzas are really authentic. I ordered the diavalo pizza and loved it, friends ordered pasta as were equally pleased.
Great atmosphere and food, service very good. Nothing to much trouble even when asked for some thing different to the menu. would recommend to any of our friends.
I visited the restaurant to have an early dinner and catch up with my friend. Service was very slow. It took 30 for us to get drinks. Plus the waiter brought out an extra glass of wine which we didn't order. The food was good. I ordered the tagliatelle primavera. The staff doesn't understand English well so my friend and I kept repeating ourselves. It was frustrating. Nevertheless, the restaurant staff was very nice to us and we didn't feel rushed which is why i gave them a 4.
Delicious food at very reasonable prices. The staff were so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Thank you very much for a lovely evening!
Bonasera is a great restraurant. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is outstanding and the staff treat you like family. This is our favourite restaurant by far. If you haven’t been been here you need to go as soon as you can.
Great place for our family reunion. We traveled from Hertfordshire, Sussex and as far away as Balham just to be there. Oh, and the food was great too - lovely Italian dishes served by an amazingly friendly team.
Good experience overall. We had to wait quite a bit for our food to arrive (party of 8) but it was well worth the wait. Very friendly and helpful staff.
I hadn't been here for a while and was glad to find the food, service and staff were all still good. I will definitely won't leave it so long next time!
Always a winner for date night. My Finance and I come here every so often and it doesn't disappoint. Good food reasonably priced. I would recommend.
Great food and amazing atmosphere. Service a bit slow but very busy. Would highly recommend. Made us feel very valued and definitely go again. Than you
The restaurant has an authentic and slightly chaotic Italian feel to it. We visited on a Friday evening and were able to get table outside. I asked the waiter for recommendations. He then just read everything off the menu but just said to avoid the chicken! My two friends and I each chose a different pizza and we then shared this. It was nice to have the variety that way as the pizzas are very large and having a whole one of the same flavour would have been too much. We had to go up to the till to pay as we had been waiting a while to settle up. That said, it was a fun holiday feeling and glad we could sit outside.
Went there Saturday night for a 7pm reservation. Had a nice buzz / atmosphere. Really helpful and friendly staff. Good menu and the food was good and generous portions!
Food and service were excellent as always. The restaurant was quite noisy, but I see that as a positive as it's always busy, which is a good sign! Could possibly do with turning the music down a bit. I wouldn't go there for a quiet romantic meal, but if you want somewhere lively with fab food, then this is for you.
Cheap and cheerful restaurant - good food and wine for a good price. One of our go to places for a quick bite and catch up
Great atmosphere, lovely food and especially nice during the summer due to the outdoor seating. Great for a meal, catch up with friends or a quick bite. Will definitely be returning.
Food was amazing! Staff are friendly. But the service last night wasn't the best. They were good by giving us a quiet area due to having our baby with us but it meant we were a bit forgotten about...
The food as ever was delicious. One thing though we ordered bread and olives assuming it would be understood as a starter but it came at the same time as our main order resulting in our not eating as much of it as we would have had it come some time before the main course.
Nice atmosphere, we had a table in the conservatory area but from inside there are also views into the kitchen. The restaurant was friendly and yet professional. We were very happy with the food and the service.
Great evening dinner at Buonsera as always. Delicious food, generous portions, friendly service and great value. Wine was also perfect and very reasonable - will definitely return time and time again
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff but the food was average eg. stodgy ravioli which appeared to be filled with more pasta rather than spinach !
We had a lovely night with friends. With five kids amongst us (including one baby) The staff were very accommodating and helpful with everything. Food was good too!
