Enjoyed a wonderful experience at Buon Appetito, last night. Greeted by Giovanni, helping us, select the Sampling Board to start, followed by a wonderful pasta dish, and then finished the evening meal with Strawberry cheese cake served with two Capachino’s. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, great food, and excellent service.

It was mine and my husband’s anniversary and we wanted to try some places around since we recently moved to the Berkeley area. He said Buon Appetito had a dine in side, formally I only knew of it as a pizza/Italian food take out. Don’t let the outside fool you, when we mentioned we wanted to dine in we were brought to the left room which was a nice little restaurant side with a gentleman singing. It was quite a lovely surprise! More than likely we reached the very end of the show and dinner rush on a Sunday, so it was us and a few tables who were finishing up and just enjoying the music. The man sang classic pop/jazz/swing music from artists like Frank Sinatra.
The staff was very sweet and nice, very friendly and not pushy. And of course, the food was delicious! The potions were large as well. I like that they keep water out for you to pour into your glass on top of a drink of you wish, as well a soft fresh bread with olive oil and herbs to dip it into, and parmesan. The salad was fresh and light. My husband got the chicken Parm which was huge and delicious, mine was rigatoni in vodka sauce with shrimp. These weren’t shrimpy tiny frozen shrimp either- they were fresh and large. Which feels so rare now a days. The sauce was very good. We were too full for dessert sadly.
I highly recommend for a nice dinner! Casual dinning with family, get together with friends, or a date night!

OMG !! Is all I can say . My wife and I went here for dinner this past Sunday after checking out other restaurant’s reviews and this one caught my interest. MY ONLY REGRET IS NOT FINDING THIS PLACE SOONER!!!! From the outside it is very deceiving. Once inside you are taken back by beautiful smartly decorated dining room . Cloth tablecloths and napkins ,really big wine glasses and eating utensils’ spotlessly clean and shiny . rest rooms also spotless, a dead giveaway . So I am now relaxed knowing kitchen is clean. From appetizer’s to dessert everything was really great. Then the fun starts When Anthony Di Do starts his music and great singing voice topped off the evening. while we ate. Upon leaving we met Agueda and Alfredo Leonor thanking them for a really great meal. Living up to the name of their Restaurant. Will return with many friends.

Had the pleasure of dining here with family to celebrate our anniversaries and so glad we chose this place. Nice atmosphere, it’s a BYOB which is always good, they had a nice singer last night that got the crowd involved but the topper is the food and service. Food was delish and service was friendly quick and never hovering, but always right there when we needed them. Looking forward to our next night out. See you soon

We have passed this restaurant so many times over the last six years and we are SO happy we decided to give this place a chance!
Julius was our professional and pleasant server and he certainly did an outstanding job. The dishes from bread to soup and salad to appetizers and then main entrees did not disappoint!
We had an overall excellent experience and look forward to returning very soon!!

Second stop of the William Martin Memories Motorcycle Pizza Slice Cruise Tour!!!
Grandma Slice, not as crispy as I like, little oily, sauce sweet and tangy, cheese tasty, crust floppy.
Overall a good slice!!!

Can’t speak to the service because we had take out but the food was awful. Bland. The apparently didn’t have fettuccine (or the staff doesn’t what fettuccine is) and gave me pappardelle. Chicken Murphy resembled nothing that can actually be called Chicken Murphy. There are like 19 other places like this order from in the area. Try one of those.
