Excellent place to go for that office lunch. The variety of luncheon specials are well priced and there is a wide selection of items to choose from. More

Visit at least once a week for pizza and calzones. Great for take-out; restaurant menu a bit over priced. W&M faculty receive a discount with ID. More

We ordered the pizza. It was not really good...way too much sauce on it and the crust was hardly there. The slice just felt too mushy. Taste was just okay. Service was slow. The place does not have much atmosphere either. I would not go back. More

There was a gas fire pit going in the enclosed... More

I know people that love it but all three times that I've tried it I've ended up with soggy, mediocre food. It is a lot of food for the money though. More

The wait time was so long that my family and I ran out of conversation. The cook and the staff were busy talking instead of preparing our food. The reason I know this is because we were seated by the kitchen and could see the chef. They were not very sanitary either, just talking over our food and reaching over... More

My boyfriend and I stopped here on a Saturday night in prime dinner time without reservations, so we were expecting a wait, despite it being early January. We actually went in the back door because the patio, enclosed for the winter months, obscures the front entrance. We were a bit concerned about where we would be seated, given a quick... More

I have only been once, so take this review as is. I showed up for dinner with my brother. The place was busy. The hostes was rude and kept us waiting for an inappropriate time, There were two empty tables and she would not even go over and set them but kept going to some computer game at the bar.... More

We love coming here for dinner, lunch, or just a glass of wine. The staff is always professional and friendly, the food is great and the atmosphere is very classy but cozy! Recommend to anyone, family friendly, but also a nice date spot. More

Always on the lookoiut for good Italian restaurants, we made our first visit to Buon Amici on a recent Saturday evening. The entrance was a little off-putting by having to walk through the hot, plastic-enclosed patio to get to the front door. We were greeted pleasantly and promptly seated. The ambience is pleasantly upscale without being pretentious. Our waiter, Brian,... More
