Reviews for Buono Bistro in North Andover, MA
If it?s busy don?t expect a hot meal. Got a seat right away, but it was full then sat there for 15 mins be they gave us bread... and water then 20 minutes til our server came. She was very nice .finally got a glass of wine then waited another 20 mins forcalamari and dipping sauce also cold, then side salad came and another 20 minutes for cold entree of chick parm and linguine.The sauce was laced with too much sugar. Now they appeared to have a good amount of wait staff . I?d say the cooking crew mayhave been short staffed ? I?ve eaten here before big this time was very disappointing, Read more
We just had dinner there tonight - it felt like a good night to go have their fabulous salmon dish - and we had the most... fantastic server (Lainie - not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly). We both agreed: the BEST waitress we've ever had,anywhere. We love the restaurant, and she put our experience over the top. Read more
The place was packed. Good thing we had reservations. Has a great big bar which was very very busy. We got a booth looking... outside. The menu was great and had a special menu also. Food was delicious and portions were very good. Read more
I've been five times and each time the food has been absolutely delicious! Service was above and beyond each time as well. I... think the only downside would be that they could do a little more cleaning. This coming from a person who likes everythingextremely clean. There were greasy handprints on the door and gum under the table. The food and the service completelyoutweighed this though. I will go back! Read more
I don't understand why this restaurant has such great reviews. Have dined here twice and found the food just OK. Good... presentation of food though. Shrimp scampi had no flavor. Risotto was too sticky. Could only stomach one bit of chicken andbroccoli. The House Chianti was the only positive for us. Will not be back Read more
I can't say enough good things about this place! I met a friend here for a quick lunch and I have been back 3 times since with... other people. Food is delicious and service is friendly. Love the setup of the restaurant and the big corner booths. Read more

We used a Groupon here on Sunday, October 23 and we were greeted promptly at the front door. As soon as we sat down, one of the... staff members filled our water glasses and someone else came with warm Italian bread with olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Myfiancée ordered the seafood risotto and she said there was seafood in every forkful. I had a lovely salmon with lemon buttersauce, whipped potatoes and a delicious sautéed spinach side dish. Our server checked with us after a few minutes of receivingour food, and a little while later to see if we cared for anything else. She graciously packed up our left overs to go. Ifound the service to be very excellent as a lot of times the food is dropped off and the server never comes to check back andsee if everything was okay. Highly recommend. Read more
