Buona Serra Eatery

Such a lovely experience at Buona Serra! We started with the Eggplant Stack appetizer and it was so good! I had a delicious, super flavourful pizza, and my daughter’s pasta with meatballs was generously portioned and a big hit with her. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal even better. My daughter and I both really enjoyed ourselves. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to bring the rest of our family next time. Truly a gem of a place!

Second visit to this restaurant since it reopened under the new owners Buona Serra but this is my first review. We have had the dolce fico, the calabrese, and the margarita pizzas. Was surprised how much I enjoyed the dolce fico as it is out of my comfort zone but I have ordered it both times. The sweetness of the figs paired with the saltiness of the prosciutto and the heat of the hot honey was a perfect blend. The tomato sauce on the red pizzas was simple and savoury and I can’t stress enough how perfect the dough is with the edge having the perfect amount of crunch with a soft interior. Exactly what you expect in a Neapolitan pizza crust with it being thin so you might use a knife and fork but not so thin you can’t pick a slice up to eat if desired. The gnocchi were light and fluffy and not dense at all which is always a risk with this pasta. The sauce was delicious and did not overwhelm the pasta. Our server was pleasant and informative and every worker was happy to help with any needs even when not their table. The prices are well below what is charged at other restaurants for the same level of dining with Buona Serra’s food being of better quality and taste. The restaurant is modern and cozy at the same time with a nice combination of tables and booths. There is a large bar to sit at while waiting for your table or just to have a drink and some food while watching the games. It is so nice to have a quality restaurant in the area and we can’t wait to visit in the summer as it looks like they have a huge patio.

Buona Serra Eatery is very good. Borderline “how is this place already this polished?” good. It’s a brand-new spot in Grimsby, and somehow it already feels like it’s been here forever..... in the best way. First off, Michael was an awesome server. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and attentive to our requests. He made great recommendations and just had that great, confident energy that makes the whole experience better. Also… the prices?? Shockingly reasonable. Everything is extremely well priced, especially for the quality you’re getting. This is one of those rare situations where quality did not come at a premium. Now let’s talk about the food - starting with the Pane D’Oro. This bread is dangerous. Warm, golden, perfectly soft on the inside with just the right crust, absolutely dripping with butter. The kind of bread where you say, “I’ll save room for my dinner,” and suddenly it’s gone. Absolute elite bread service. For mains, we had the gnocchi and the primavera, and both were excellent. The gnocchi was soft, comforting, and rich without being too heavy, while the primavera was fresh, colorful, and super well balanced. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together, everything tasted intentional. Portions were just right: filling, satisfying, and you don’t feel like you need to be rolled out the door. Overall, Buona Serra is a huge win for Grimsby on the Lake. Great service, great food, great value, and an impressive start for a new restaurant. We’ll 100% be bac, and probably soon. I plan on eating my body weight in that bread.......

My wife and I recently enjoyed a wonderful meal at Buona Serra, Grimsby's new Italian restaurant. The warm and inviting ambiance set the perfect tone for our dining experience. For our main courses, we ordered the Veal Parmesan and the Chicken Piccata. Both dishes were expertly prepared, featuring tender meat and crispy breaded coatings, accompanied by a generous portion of linguini. The highlight of the meal was the tomato sauce; it was rich and zesty, reminiscent of my mother's homemade version. Overall, Buona Serra provided a fantastic dining experience with great service, and we can’t wait to return with the rest of my family.

My wife and I recently tried this newly opened restaurant after seeing it posted on social media, and we’re so glad we did. We live nearby and wanted to support a new local spot. it definitely exceeded our expectations ! My wife has a peanut and tree nut allergy, and when we mentioned it to our waitress, she immediately brought over the owner, who assured us that this is a completely nut-free facility. That gave us so much peace of mind, and it was wonderful to see how seriously they take food allergies. The service was excellent and the food was even better. We started with the Pane d’Oro bread and Brussels sprouts, both packed with flavor and clearly made fresh to order. For our entrees, my wife had the gnocchi, and I ordered the chicken parm, substituting linguini for gnocchi. The gnocchi was perfectly soft, and the chicken was juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. But the real star was the sauce, it was incredible and honestly, they should bottle and sell it. Plenty of street parking nearby and no reservations needed, which makes it super convenient. We’ll definitely be back soon !
