   Probably the best service I've ever received anywhere. The early dining menu is great value and simple well presented fresh food. The seafood couscous, for example was beautiful.

   Visited twice this week for lunch, catching up with friends. Excellent service and food with some interesting Venetian dishes available as specials. The food here is always good and the service charming and efficient - watching staff assisting a customer with mobility issues demsonstrates their level of care and helpfulness. Highly recommended.

   We are regulars and use Buonissimo several times a year for family celebrations, on this occasion a birthday. We were a party of six and found the menu varied and seasonal. Highlights were the mussels and sea bream but we all felt that there were several other choices we could have gone for. We all drank the Pinot blush which was delicious. The pricing for food of this quality is very reasonable and the portion size well-judged. The service is always friendly and attentive. We are fortunate to have a restaurant of this quality in South Birmingham.

   We booked a table for 7pm and took advantage of the Early Dining Menu, good value at £21.95 for 3 courses. The staff were welcoming as always and we couldn’t fault the food, portion size was good and the wine excellent. Finished with a coffee as we were enjoying the evening. We have been coming here for a number of years and are never disappointed. We will be back!

    Apart from the great standard of food, the service provided by Roisin was exemplary and we couldn't have asked for a friendlier and knowledgeable person to provide recommendations on wine and food. We will be returning again!

    Attended early evening to make use of the attractive early diners menu, service and meal were excellent. With an early booking we were advised in advance the table was ours for as long as required and unlike many other restaurents we never felt under any pressure to vacate the table as the evening progressed. Highlight for me was the cod and seafood couscous delicious Thanks to all the team for making our evening thoroughly enjoyable

    What a treat to be back at Buonissimo with friends .The varied three course lunch menu including a choice of soup and pasta of the day was good value. We had the baby Prosecco’s which we’re just enough for us as at lunch time. The usual high standards of cleanliness and a warm welcome from Sylvia and staff reminded us just how much we appreciate this gem on our doorstep. See you soon

    Very small restaurant. Tables quite close together. Food was nice but not exceptional. Service was good but we felt it was overpriced and you were upsold items. For example do you want water for the table was actually bottled mineral water which we were later charged for. Wouldn’t go again.

    Went for a double birthday celebration and we were not disappointed. Menu was great, drinks choice was good, staff were superb. They were great at at changing one of the dishes to accommodate one of our guests. Have been many time before for various occasions for the last 20 years and are now bringing my daughter who is 11. Will be back x

    Homely and fun atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Good wholesome food - we had the pork - delicious and plenty of it! Good pauses between ordering and receiving. Relaxed feel which we enjoyed. Enjoyed the red wine. Unfortunately they ran out of steak so my wife couldn’t have that. And they ran out of croquette potatoes so it was roasties. That was ok but we actually wanted to try the croquettes. We booked for 8pm and our table was ready at 8.15pm (drink in mini-bar whilst we waited) And as we we seated, we were told we were by the radiator (it was a chilly old night!) but the radiator wasn’t on. We weren’t cold but we thought that was amusing. All in all we enjoyed it.

    The food was really poor quality. I think the chef needs to think really hard about presentation. In addition the food was like warm and burnt. We did share this with the staff however noone seemed to care. Perhaps it was because it was a Saturday on it was busy. In terms of sitting we we all crammed in with no social distancing observed. Really sad that this was such a bad experience however there are other resturants in Harborne thank god.
