The food was outstanding. I have tried the chicken marsala. Definitely an excellent choice. While it was a little pricey, it was worth every penny! Atmosphere is a little tight, and the staff could be a little more happy, but an excellent place to go!

Stopped in for lunch. Was not disappointed. Nice selection of basic lunch and dinner entres. Food was very good. Service was quick and friendly. I deducted a star only because to get 5 stars, you need to stand out either in value, or with the menu selection, or in some way to stand out from the rest. Although the food, service, selection wasn't stand out, it was very good.

Cozy little eatery that offers more than apparent by the naked eye from the outside of the building. Unlimited drink menu! The lemon chicken and vodka riggies were amazing! Highly recommend!

We had the Veal Marsala and Chicken Marsala. Both were delicious, and obviously freshly prepared. It was a relaxing environment, and very enjoyable. Service was not spectacular, but our server was fairly attentive, despite our coming at peak rush.

Vodka Riggies have Really lost a step. Slighty arrogant bar staff and phone person. Probably the 2nd most pricey restaurant in area and for $30+ takeout would it kill you to throw in a slice of bread or roll?!

Recommended by a person at St Luke’s hospital. Had the calamari for an appetizer, some of the best calamari we have ever had. Burger was cooked perfectly. Fast, friendly attentive service. Will be back.

Easy casual atmosphere, but the food never disappoints. Calamari was tender and crisp...the greens had a touch of vinegar to my taste but good and I had a shrimp provencale dish with a sublime lemon butter sauce.

Best fried calamari we've ever had. Comes with fried hot peppers.

Have been going to Cafe Del Buono for years. Always great food. You can have a reasonably priced meal or a more expensive dinner meal anytime. Draft beer is limited but the food is great. Very nice home made desserts also. The bananas Foster and Tiramisu are always wonderful.

Asked about the Cuban last night and was told it was good by our server. Everyone else's food looked really good, mine was lukewarm on cheap hard toast with heated up meat. It was 8pm but the place is open til 10. More than likely will not be back, I don't live close enough and it was not memorable- just another bar with food. Waitress was clearly mentally checked out throughout the meal.

Food and the service was very good. The chicken parmesan was good but the breading made it seem like either they used the wrong kind of bread crumbs or something. Sauce was however very good and made up for it. Dessert was amazing. The parking lot is small so get there at a decent time or park in the Hannaford parking lot. It was also very loud but it's a small place and was to be expected.

Cafe has been consistently awesome whenever I come here. The calamari has fried cherry peppers, which elevates it beyond your standard. I had the veal marsala. The veal cutlets were so crisp it was clear the sauce had been added as they left the kitchen. And that sauce is sweet, savory and delicious, and full of sliced mushrooms.

While visiting from Arkansas, we found Cafe Del Buono for lunch. Their menu had a variety of food options from salads, Italian, and burgers. Melissa waited on us and was super friendly and her service was great! Not to mention the Deep Dish Apple Pie was superb! (See my uploaded photo.) They list their daily specials on a chalkboard, as well as their desserts. We had a great lunch and I highly recommend Cafe Del Buono.
