The pesto sauce is delish as well as the chicken Milanese and ravioli. The place is small, not fancy yet welcoming. Phenomenal customer service! read more

The first thing I will echo is the young man at the front of the house is all about customer service! This was our first visit and we did a to-go order of the pear salad, lasagna and spinach ravioli. The wait was about 15-20 minutes so went to grab a beer at the nearby Winter's Tavern while we waited. Even though it was busy, the young man offered to bring the food to us if we weren't there when it was ready (we got back in time). Okay, so here's the skinny: - drinks: they don't have beer and wine just yet as he just turned 21 and appears to be the main person at the register but he assured us it's coming soon! They do offer a variety of bottled and canned non-alcoholic choices though. - ambiance: the inside is narrow and still pretty plain (granted they are very newly opened) but there are plans to put a mural on the south wall. - seating: there are a couple of small tables outside and three more inside. It would be nice if they could do white table cloths or paper on the inside tables to class it up a bit, but I expect we'll see those details pop in as time goes on. - the food: The salad was all arugula for the green which can be a little bitter to some so take heed (we loved it, and there are other salads to choose from). The pear was crisp and fresh, the walnuts a perfect sweet. The dressing lemony and light and a very good compliment to the salad overall. The ravioli had a smooth and light filling. It was listed as having butter, sage and a red sauce, but I would ask for the red sauce on the side so you can really enjoy that sage butter flavor. The lasagna was pretty standard but also good! Our to-go order came with bread which was a sliced baguette that had been placed on the panini machine to warm it. We felt the red sauce was too salty but not inedible. For a new place, you can tell they have great plans to grow and there are always growing pains when honing in on any new menu. The options are wide and they serve everything on the menu (even breakfast) all day. We will be going back to try other dishes (the calamari and carbonara seem very popular) but I would definitely encourage folks to give this place a visit! read more

We were in town for work and looked for a pasta place to go to. We found this place and decided to give it a try. It was nothing short of amazing. The chicken alfredo and chicken parmesan were absolutely delicious. The Alfredo sauce was so good that I used the fresh warm bread to clean the entire plate. The atmosphere was nice and quiet and you can tell from the food and the service that Arturo and his crew are passionate about their food and their customers. I wish I could give it more than 5/5 stars. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and great service. Thank you Arturo for such a great experience and such wonderful food! read more

Buona Italia Caffe - Chicken PARM and Alfredo with Shrimp - Italian Near Me - Pacifica, California

My family and I are visiting from Washington, D.C. Stuck at the house waiting on a UPS delivery, I decide to walk up to Buona Italia to get something to go - feeling encouraged by pictures and reviews on Yelp. I ordered linguini with clam sauce - something I order often. It was exceptional (10/10) and as good as anything that I've had downtown in SF or DC. Inside - it's small / not the nicest ambiance and they don't have their liquor license just yet (in progress)...but still, that almost adds to it - it's a hidden gem that will exceed any expectations you have, if you don't already know about it. I never write reviews, but I was compelled to write on here because it surprised me - even after seeing reviews and pictures. You wont be disappointed. read more

I had been trying to try this place out for the longest time. So glad I did! I was thinking it might have a limited menu with limited seating. It is a great place, with several tables, a full menu (not limited to just breakfast and lunch), the freshest of ingredients, and friendly to boot! I will definitely be back. I want to try the homemade cannoli! I had an omelet and my friend had the special ravioli. Great food great prices. read more

Delicious Authentic Italian food! this place doesn't look like much when you walk in, but the food is incredibly fresh!

To begin with, I was so excited to try this new spot in Pacifica. I found this place via Nextdoor App. My family ordered the lasagna, spaghetti, chicken parm and the cannoli's for take-out. Mind you this was over $60. The food portions were small and EXTREMELY SALTY sauce. My lasagna was burnt at the bottom too. The Cannoli's were so small, expensive for there size and had no flavor. The worse part was the stomach ache at the end of the night and the thirst that followed after intaking so much sodium. Will not be returning to this place. read more

We were in Pacifica to whale watch. Wanted some lunch, so stopped in this little spot. Friendly counter service! Husband had eggplant parm. I had bacon, avocado omelet with a side salad. Both were delicious. This spot is tiny, but food and service were very, very good and so reasonably priced! We will definitely go back! read more

I mean this place is a gem. Not only is the food exceptional, but you are greeted with kindness every single time. I think the fresh mozzarella is beyond delicious and the pesto is a nice touch. Be sure to check out the weekly specials. Small business needs our love, and this business is more than deserving of your attention. read more

I ordered the lasagna and a salad . The salad was good and the lasagna was delicious. The lasagna sauce was nice and thick with the depth of flavor that you would expect from a north beach establishment. There's not much in the way of ambience ( no candles or white tablecloths) but I'm kinda excited about this place. There's a limited menu that you see when you yelp the place but they also have other items (specials?) that are available, one of which was eggplant parmigiana (next time) one of my faves. I ordered takeout but there are a couple of small tables if you choose to eat in. I'm glad that this place is here and the prices are reasonable for our times. read more

Amazing food. Alfredo was creamy and light. Handmade noodles cooked perfectly. Good portions and wonderful staff.

This is a new place so we were excited to try it out. We were greeted upon entry. You order at the counter and they were very patient with us while we reviewed the menu and asked questions. They have a nice selection for such a small cafe. Two of us had the paninis; wow were they good. They could have been hotter, the cheese wasn't melted but so tasty. One had an omelette and he loved it. Plenty of food. There isn't a lot of seating if you're a large party. The service was great. Give it a try. We will be going back. read more

I've gotten the Grilled Chicken Paninia couple of times and it's very good. Comes with a nice side salad.
