Our Story
Buona Ristorante opened its doors on January 8, 2008 on the beautiful St Pete Beach, FL. Since then, it has evolved into a very popular spot with locals and visitors alike.
In March of 2017, Diane and Marco Angelo recognized the potential of this little gem, and became its new owners. Faithful to our motto: “We prepare our homemade Italian favorites with care and pride”, we serve fresh homemade Italian dishes, tasty pizzas, great salads, appetizers, sandwiches and desserts. The combination of high quality food and attentive service in a clean and comfortable environment, transforms many of our first time guests into loyal customers for life.
When you visit us for the first time, check out our back patio, it faces a small marina on the intracoastal Boca Ciega Bay where you can enjoy some great food and a bottle of wine in a very relaxing atmosphere.
Diane and Marco are always involved in the daily operations and they are never too far to listen to your wants, your needs or your suggestions.
Please stop by and introduce yourself. We’d love to meet you.
