Reviews
We lived in St. Pete’s for a short bit. We’re foodies. I have 100s of review to reference. The food was a huge reason not to stay.
Bonu was always just average. I tried tons of options on their menu and it just never slapped, especially considering the price.
I’ve tried to figure out how to describe their food… the best way I can describe it is that everything on their menu tastes fresh off the pre-cooked Sysco truck. Bland, tasteless, overwhelming sauces… nothing was delicious nor made in-house. Frozen pre-cooked chicken breasts matched with a jar of Prego’s Alfredo sauce.
Drinks were fine if they remember to place your order. Staff is ever changing and be prepared to flag them down if you need anything.
We won’t be back. Just not worth the extremely overpriced menu.
We started with the burrata and artichokes—both well-seasoned and enjoyable, but nothing that showed much innovation or technique. For entrées, we ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza, salmon, lobster ravioli, and braised beef rigatoni. Each dish was satisfying enough, but again, nothing truly memorable. Surprisingly, the highlight of the evening was dessert: the ricotta cake and tiramisu were easily the best courses of the night.
We paired everything with a bottle of wine recommended by our server, which complemented the meal nicely. Service was friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant evening overall.
In short, Bonu is a good stopping point in St. Pete for reliably decent food, but if you’re looking for something innovative or exceptional, it may not quite hit the mark.
