Buon Appetito is a delightful spot in Little Italy! We enjoyed the Linguine Neri, packed with fresh seafood and rich flavors, and the Calamari was equally impressive. The service was attentive, and the complimentary bread made the experience even better. Perfect casual dining! I’ll return for sure...

I recently dined at Buon Appetito and it was a delightful experience! 🍝 The **Linguine Neri** was a standout, brimming with fresh seafood and true Italian flavors - definitely not just filler!

The service was fantastic; our drinks never ran dry and the complimentary bread was a lovely touch. The cozy outdoor seating was perfect for a cool evening in Little Italy.

I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine without needing a reservation! Can't wait to return for more deliciousness... 😍
