4.0 of 5 stars. I'm a bit surprised by the negative reviews for this place. I actually had a very nice meal with excellent service. The place was quite busy for a Wednesday night, but even still my co-worker and I...

Yelp.com Review - by Grace G.

2.0 of 5 stars. This place is insanely loud. We had a party of 11 and couldn't hear people on the opposite side of the table. Our server was rude and curt. He spilled wine on one member of our party and scolded her...

Expensive Uncontionable Noise and Rude Service

Let me tell you one thing, this place is so expensive and the food is average. There were 4 of us and with a modest bottle of wine we paid close to $400 !!! dollars. The food was at best average. For $48...

Good Food by Selina C. at InsiderPages

Food was excellent. I mainly go during lunch. This time I went for dinner and it was crowded, the wait was forever, and it was loud and not very personal, the service was lacking but the food was phenomenal in...

Avoid at all costs parking stinks, prices way to high and the owner is an Idiot

This restaurant is in the heart of Red Bank. The owner is very rude and thinks he is John Gotti, we complained because our very unexperienced waiter spilled a very expensive bottle of wine on my husbands lap...

Don't bother...

Don't waste your time...overpriced, overrated and not worth wasting a Saturday evening for. Food was mediocre, service was slow and inattentive. We dine out a lot and figured we would give this "trendy" place...

Uuuggghhhh....

This is by far the most Americanized, over-sauced, over-cheesed, tasteless Italian I've had to date. The atmosphere is tacky, the service is so-so and the food is disastrous. The first clue that the food will...

Best Restaurant in NJ by far!

Buona Sera is great! The food is perfect, and plentiful. They have an extensive menu, with great authentic Italian choices. The place is very big, nice and romantic for couples, but spacious for big groups....

Cowded, noisy, but very good

The ambience and food are very good. The dining rooms are usually packed and the volume of both people and noise are high. Service could be slow and sometimes a bit inattentive. Nevertheless, we always enjoy...

It's hip to be hip

Upscale New Jersey without an attitude. Noisey as Wall Street in a bull market. Reservations a must. Hard to find street parking. Excellent food and wine list. I recomment the veal chops. This is where Tony...
