One really good menu item.

Make sure to order the " Italian Beefless" sandwich. It tastes very similar to actual Italian beef. You can add your choice of peppers, vegan cheese, and marinara sauce. You can also order the sandwich as a bowl if you don't want the bread.

Besides the vegan Italian beef sandwich, Buona doesn't really have anything else going for it imo. The quality of the fries is often very inconsistent, and they're usually super overcooked and crunchy. Prices are really high too. Expect to pay at least $16.00 for a meal here.

Vegan Italian beef sandwiches!

Holy cow! In town to visit family. Had no idea we would encounter such delish vegan food at Buona.

Our sandwiches were perfect. Full of flavor, hot, and tased amazing.

We wanted more.

And the hospitality was perfect. The guy who greeted us was kind, knew of the vegan options, and was super helpful.

Pros: Italian beef sandwiches

chicago style italian beef!

this was so much better than i was expecting it to be! the sandwich is packed with italian beef, and it is full of flavor! whatever seasoning they use for this seitan is spot on, and i was happy with how clear they are with what is vegan and not vegan. the menu is clear and it was also clear when the sandwiches came out. i appreciate that they have a few options on the menu that are actual meals that i can eat with everyone else who is eating 😇 #Veganuary

Pros: well-seasoned, vegan options are clear, good service

Very Good!

While I do wish they had some more vegan options, the ones they do have are amazing! I love the fact that they have vegan itlaian beef. It's so nice to be able to go out and not have to order a salad.
