Editorial Review for Buon Appetito – by Rebecca Bamberger
In Short
Like a traditional Italian family, Buon Appetito embraces its guests proudly and immediately, charming you into its petite but well-dressed restaurant. Vibrant, rotating art adorn ever wall, as patrons sit nearly elbow to elbow, contributing to the restaurant's bustling scene of young waiters and booming conversations. Mediterranean flavors blend into the "Nouvelle Italian" approach to the menu, but classic Italian dishes are never ignored.

One of the best Italian Restaurants in San Diego, i go at least once a week! I love the fact that they have take-out as well. The owner also owns Arriverdercci in Hillcrest and Trattoria I Trulli in Encinitas. Both are just as great!! Love the egg plant appetizer and pizza'a at Arriverdercci!
Pros: the food!
Cons: always busy, but this could be a pro depending on how you look at it

I am an Italian citizen and know Italian food. All I can say is that I have never had such good Italian food in the States before - it was authentic and simply delicious. Service was excellent too - cordial and fast. I strongly recommend it!
