We had a delightful dining experience at your establishment, enjoying the authentic Italian cuisine. The service was exceptional, and the food was outstanding. The veal trio was particularly delicious and tender. While the crème brûlée was a bit thicker than anticipated, receiving a 6/10, all other dishes, from the stuffed shells to the clams casino, were excellent. We look forward to returning.

Wow wow wow! This restaurant BLEW us away! We were looking for a restaurant to go to for our anniversary dinner and have driven past this place a bunch of times. I went to check the reviews and honestly the reviews were so good that I thought they couldn’t be real haha I thought people that knew the owners had to be leaving them. But we decided to try it out.
Let me tell you these are all real genuine reviews! The food was insanely delicious!! I got the Chesapeake pasta and it was the best one I’ve ever had. My husband said the best pasta he’s ever had in his life, and we met while working at a really nice Italian restaurant lol. It was creamy, just enough old bay, has GIANT lumps of crab meat, scallops and HUGE shrimp.
The steak was also insanely good, you know when you get a steak and you always hope it tastes as good as it smells… this was the first time in my life I can say it tasted exactly like it smelled. It was grilled to perfection, had that Smokey charcoal taste and cooked perfectly. It melted in your mouth like butter.
The pricing was also super reasonable for what you get!
We mentioned wanting to step outside for a little bit and the owner walked us to this back deck with lights, all set up for Valentine’s Day, super romantic with a fire and everything. It was truly stunning.
The owner was stopping by every single table and greeting everyone. The sever was amazing, super friendly and fast service.
10/10 recommend this restaurant! Probably the best one we’ve tried… maybe ever, and definitely in Essex!

This past weekend we had my dad’s surprise 70th birthday and retirement party. That staff was absolutely incredible and made the day so much easier and stress free. The food was amazing and the prices were equally great. I can’t thank them enough for the wonderful service they provided! Definitely a must go!!!!

Food was great! Service was great, owner even stopped by to see how everything was for us. Husband LOVED the claims casino, says this place has the best claims casink he’s ever had! Everything we ordered, claims, lobster ravioli, chicken Piccacta, steak and (im not sure which pasta dish my husband ordered), all turned out amazing! Will definitely return and refer other people to the restaurant.

Buon Appetito Essex is a warm, inviting Italian spot that feels great whether you’re out for a casual dinner or celebrating something special. The menu has a nice mix of Italian favorites — from hearty pastas and steak to seafood and classic favorites like chicken parmigiana — and most dishes are well-prepared and flavorful. Pasta sauces are rich, portions are generous, and there are daily specials that make each visit feel fresh.
The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between cozy and slightly upscale without feeling stiff, and the staff tends to be friendly and attentive. Lots of locals love it for its comfortable vibe and tasty food, whether dining in or getting takeout.
It’s a dependable choice if you want classic Italian-American cuisine with good service in a relaxed setting.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but my partner and I absolutely LOVE this restaurant!! The service is always awesome. All the staff is extremely friendly and kind, Atmosphere is very cozy, and the food is always amazing. I always end up getting a pasta dish and the pasta is cooked perfectly every time and the sauces are delicious. Last time I tried the lobster bisque and it was different than others I’ve had, but in a really good way! It was super creamy and very flavorful! It tasted almost like it had some sort of veggies/vegetable stock in it, but it was the perfect amount to not take away from the lobster taste, and added a very nice flavor to the soup! My partner always gets a burger and every time we dine in, he says it’s the “best burger” he’s ever had! Always very juicy, toppings and veggies are super fresh and complement each other well. Easily one of the best restaurants in the area. Prices are very fair, restaurant is always clean, and portion sizes are perfect. And a 9$ glass of wine was huge! Definitely give Buon Appetito a try, they won’t disappoint!

We went for a late lunch today and had the cream of crab soup, farfalle à la vodka and the chicken Parmesan. Everything was delicious. Best cream of crab I’ve had in years! Cindy took great care of us. I can’t wait for my next visit.

This is my new go to for Italian cuisine. No need to go to little Italy in the city anymore. The place is kind of small, limited parking and a bit loud, but it’s worth it. The Caesar salad is delicious, fresh, crisp lettuce, delicious dressing. The food came out very fast, and it was hot. The wait staff were very attentive and checked on us many times. The restaurant manager also stopped by.

FANTASTIC!
Prompt, friendly and attentive service!
We started with the caprese salad and calamari. Both excellent.
Hubby had tortellini and cream sauce dish and I ordered the chicken marsala. Both fantastic choices. Our friend had the lasagna and he says it was excellent.
This place is worth your time!
We will definitely be back!
