Buonissimo Restaurant

The staff and service are excellent a lovely Italian restaurant full of character and charm.

Price was fine
Food was a tad bland
Staff were excellent

A little disappointed with the extent of the menu, however the food I chose was very good,

Service good

We have dined at Buonissimo’s on many occasions and it lived up to outstanding service and food again.
Staff very welcoming, food as always excellent.

Smaller restaurant than I expected,food was good and so was the service and made to feel very welcome.

Buonissimo is a favourite local restaurant. Great atmosphere and food. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Clean and comfy interior.

A very cosy restaurant with exceptional service. The dishes were delicious and the ambiance well remembered. My partner had her birthday that day and the staff sang to her, which was a welcoming surprise. On top of that we got a complimentary glass of dessert wine each to end the night in the best way possible.

Continues to please. Tasty food in pleasant surroundings. Good service and great ambiance.

The restaurant has stood the test of time and there’s a reason for that, consistent quality food, seasonal menus, excellent service, lovely ambience, a place that always makes you feel special.

We visited as a party of four for a quiet meal. It was a very cold night and we did feel the draft from the door, particularly as several diners kept going outside for cigarettes as well as those arriving and leaving. Food was well cooked and enjoyable and arrived in good time. We had a sharing starter and there was plenty. Our individual main courses were very nice and we all enjoyed them. One person had the cheese platter for dessert and we also had coffees.

We did have to ask again for one of our drinks as only three arrived. After waiting about fifteen minutes we realised that they had forgotten the fourth drink so asked the waitress for it. It was then brought quickly with apologies for the delay.

A nice meal out and we are likely to visit again.

My second visit and it was as lovely as I remember, really child friendly, lovely staff, tasty food, delicious wine - absolutely love this place! Thank you all for making it a wonderful visit again! X

always an enjoyable visit and the service and food superb

The seafood risotto was nothing special not much seafood in it and lukewarm. Gelato disappointing and not good quality. Seafood stew and Lasagne ok

Our second visit to this restaurant &, as previously, it didn't disappoint.
Great food (with very generous proportions) & friendly efficient service.

Highly recommended.

A Christmas meal out with colleagues at a lovely friendly restaurant. Staff were friendly and extremely attentive. I’m sure we will be back 😀

We were a university student, mother and grandmother celebrating our reunion and hoped to avoid drunken big City pre-Christmas parties by going to this small local restaurant. We could not have been luckier - it has a wonderful cosy ambience, the decor is simple but appealing and the service is charming. The food is excellent - generous but not over-large portions of interesting and delicious dishes and the wines are a little out of the ordinary. The food was good value and we will definitely be heading back there. It would be the sort of local where you would be warmly welcomed.

An excellent dinner at this (deservedly) popular restaurant. Busy. Noisy. Wonderful!

We wanted to eat in Harborne for a friends' get together and found this restaurant on Google. Reviews were good. Chose the early bird menu and expected small portions. Not many choices - 3 or 4 but what we picked was substantial and very tasty. Wine was very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive. A great find and will be revisiting.

Amazing food, very nice staff and great experience

I took my brother for lunch today - had a lovely time. Staff were very welcoming and attentive and the food was fantastic- great flavours!
Haven’t been here since last year but will definitely make another trip soon!

Lovely food, very friendly efficient staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Staff added the personal touch to our whole evening. Thank you.

Attractive restaurant. Very welcoming staff who were attentive and efficient. Delicious food and good wine list. I telephoned ahead to ask for a quiet table and the manager couldn't have been more accommodating. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and when I'm next in Birmingham I hope to go there again.

We have lived round here for years and didn't realize this restaurant was here well worth a visit. we will defiantly be going back soon.would recommend it to anyone.After actually been to Italy you can quite imaging you are there

Booked , never having been before but on the basis of good reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The food and service were very good and I would definitely return when visiting Birmingham. The fact that it is in Harbourne, outside the hustle and bustle of the City Centre, was a bonus with decent pubs available for a pre dinner drink.

The food was nice and the service was good. Would recommend.

We really enjoyed our evening. Great food, great service.

I have been going here for years, which is testament in its self. They find that place between friendly family room and style effortlessly. The food is always fist class and in Birmingham I am yet to find and equal in Italian cooking.

A lovely meal was enjoyed, all aspects of the restaurant srvice were outstanding and the food was of an exceptional quality.

First visit. Loved it. Food some of the best I've eaten in a restaurant. Will be going back.

Wonderful restaurant. Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere and great service.

A pleasant lunch. Good value with great service and very good food ...

Fantastic restaurant. They have a varied menu of great dishes. All fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is really good and the food is reasonably priced. I would recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone who appreciates good quality food.

Have been to Buonissimo's several times over quite a few years and have always enjoyed the experience of dining there. Staff are friendly and always go out of their way to make your experience there the best it could be. Food is always of a high standard. Love Buonissimo's .

A lovely place with a nice friendly family appeal serving genuine Italian dishes at reasonable prices

The host was great - directed straight to our table upstairs, even though it was busy, we didn't feel squashed in. The waitresses were great and knowledgeable, suggested an Italian wine 'Serre' which was fantastic. Great food at great prices. They even sung happy birthday to my Mother in Law.

Lovely restaurant will definitely go back again. Only downfall tables are quite close to each other. Food was delicious. Service impeccable. Definitely worth a visit.

Superb family restaurant with great atmosphere, excellent food and a really warm welcome. Small but superb wine list. Great for birthday and anniversary celebrations

Birthday meal for our student daughter, booked based on previous reviews. We weren’t disappointed: authentically Italian, great service, lovely food, not fancy, just delicious.

I had the oxtail ragu with gluten free pasta and no cheese. The ragu was rich and tasty, I added more seasoning. The dish however was not hot enough. I do appreciate the staff making sure with me about my dietary requirements.

I also had the grilled vegetable side as a starter which was fine though the leaves were bitter which is not to my taste and I added balsamico for better flavour.

The service was attentive and quick at 6pm on Sat. The chairs are a bit hard and a bit cold sitting near window - not cosy in cold weather but I imagine lovely in warmer weather.

But I think it is a good independent Italian restaurant to visit in Birmingham.

Excellent food and service. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout. Fabulous choice of food.
