Buona Pizza - St Pete Beach

Our waitress, Chelsea, was fantastic! One of the owners, Diana, offered excellent recommendations for our meal. We especially loved the Pasta Rustica and Picatta. The food was genuinely authentic Italian. It was the perfect conclusion to our day in St. Pete. Thank you!

The food is outstanding! It's a real hidden gem next to the Publix plaza that you wouldn't expect. The atmosphere is very cozy, and the server was friendly as well.

The BEST Italian restaurant on the Gulf! Buona is our go-to spot for authentic Italian cuisine whenever we vacation in the area. The food is homemade and absolutely delicious!

We celebrated a birthday over lunch with friends at this restaurant, which offers both lunch specials and a regular menu. Everyone decided to try the eggplant parmesan from the lunch menu, accompanied by side salads. The portion sizes were impressively generous for lunch, providing us with plenty to take home for another meal. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu and limoncello cake, both of which were massive—enough for three of us to enjoy together! There were plenty of dessert options available, catering to all tastes. Our server, Caylee, was incredibly helpful in guiding us through our choices. She was attentive and even surprised our friend with a candle on the tiramisu for their birthday! I highly recommend this place for both lunch and dinner. It’s located in the Publix Plaza on St. Pete Beach, and you might not even realize it's there, but it’s definitely worth seeking out!

Thank you for an excellent dinner! We had our three year old son with us. Each course arrived like rapidly, with incredible flavor, and great presentation. Our server, Susie was very attentive and patient with our little guy. I can easily recommend the mussels and the lobster ravioli. My husband said great things about the frutti di mare.
