This is a tiny little hole in the wall with only about 12 seats with table tops inside. I had the eggplant Parmesan with green beans on the side. The sauce was unique to this place and I loved it. The atmosphere was friendly with people chatting with each other across tables. The owner either knew the other people in the restaurant or was just super friendly to chit chat with them. I was with friends so I didn’t count the amount of time that it took for dinner to be prepared, but the place was full and I didn’t feel like I was waiting too long. I have to reiterate that the food was delicious. This is definitely a repeat restaurant for me.

Good food. Only 4 tables inside 2 outside but the food came out quick and they give you a little salad and bread, with the omelet at least. The Italian sausage is a little spicy aka perfect

I see a lot of high reviews. The food….did I just pay $20 for spaghetti and meatballs and it taste and saucy like Chef Boyardee can food back in the 80s. No flavor, orange sauce. Grocery store deli spaghetti tastes better.

Absolutely loved dining at Buona Italia in Pacifica! I had the Caprino, French fries, garlic bread, and eggplant Parmesan—all were incredibly tasty and full of flavor. The place is cozy and comfortable, and the staff is super friendly with warm smiles. A great spot for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

This place is easily some of the best Italian food in the state honestly, it rivals Joe’s in Westlake at a fraction of the price. The flavors are spot-on: simple, high-quality, and incredibly satisfying. Portions are perfect too—you leave full without feeling heavy.
Before coming, I read some reviews. Shane mentioned the sauce wasn’t good… but I have to respectfully disagree. The sauce here is rich, balanced, and honestly some of the best I’ve had. Maybe it just wasn’t his style, and that’s okay!
Norma said the portions felt small. Personally, I thought they were exactly right authentic Italian portions, not oversized, but definitely filling.
If you enjoy real, well-crafted Italian food, you’ll love this place. Highly recommend!

A very small establishment but the food is amazing. The staff is really friendly and there is a lot to choose from but not overwhelming. And the food we had was cooked to perfection and really good. A good authentic pasta place

Arturo’s Buona Italia Café is a hidden gem offering genuine, down-to-earth Italian cuisine at outstanding value and authentic flavors. Family-owned and full of warmth, Arturo is always there with a big smile, making everyone feel at home.
The food is excellent! Fresh, homemade pasta and sauces make every dish shine. The pear salad is crisp and delicious, the calamari is light and crunchy, and staples like bolognese, chicken parmigiana, and lasagna are truly comfort food.
However, what truly makes this place special is the daily specials. Arturo consistently comes up with new creations—think gnocchi al tartufo, asparagus soup, or other surprises that even the most seasoned food lovers wouldn’t anticipate. A visit here feels like an adventure, offering something new to try every time.
If you’re looking for authentic flavors, great prices, and a modest and inviting atmosphere, this spot rivals the best neighborhood Italian restaurants in New York or San Francisco. I highly recommend it!

First time and I will be back! My friend and I split an arugula salad with fresh pears, walnuts and, I think, gorgonzola. It was delicious! Plus pasta Alfredo with shrimp . Sooo good! The food was fresh and service friendly. It’s a small restaurant but warm and inviting. Saw a few other dishes served and it all looked . Will definitely go back.
* I’ve been back 3 more times. Each time the meals have been outstanding. Yesterday we had Butternut Squash Ravioli. Delicious! Freshly made!! Starting to feel like a regular and there’s nothing wrong with that!
