Wonderful restaurant! Honest, simple - yet well made! Beautiful setting and great service from staff. We had the Chef’s choice and left stuffed (with lots to bring home). Would definitely come back again!

INCREDIBLE CAESAR SALAD AND PIZZA and meatballs!!! We visited from Vancouver and never get pizza out unless its from a wood fired pizza oven. Our favourite restaurant is via tevere in Vancouver and this is on par with those pizzas!! Try the Ceasar salad! They roast it slightly and the croutons are not to be missed. This food was crazy good and whenever we visit we will get this!

We are still in a food coma, but a very good one! We just visited the restaurant tonight and ordered 3 appies and 2 mains for the table. Everything was amazing, as was the service. We were there with the 2 people of our 3 ppl party half an hour early but were seated right away. The place was packed but the service was swift. Mashroom ravioli, the burrata, the ceaser salad, everything was amazing. To be honest, I was a little put off by the deposit when doing a reservation but seeing how busy the place was, it made sense. All in all, an amazing place to have a memorable dinner when you visit Gibsons!

We love Buono! I hate usually hate olives, but I love their smoked olives. The burrata is amazing, and we almost always order the Caceo e Peppe with black truffle. It is the BEST! We also had tso specials (lobster ravioli and beef short rib that melted in your both) and the creme brulee. The service is amazing too. Just head on out. I did not take many photos because we dove right in.

Great atmosphere, beautiful views, amazing food! Front desk/host was a bit turbulent letting us know that we had less than 1.5 hours to eat with another reservation directly after us, but our server Amy was incredible. Thank you, Amy, and chefs! Looking forward to coming back!

We had an amazing time dining here at Buono Osteria. The food was unreal and the service was awesome. The location is amazing too, overlooking the water. We definitely would recommend checking this spot out.

The first place outside Italy that I ask for a pizza and was made correct. The staff is just amazing and the best vibe in all Sunshine coast make you feel welcome and eat as you were in Italy

Just fabulous top to bottom! We were lucky enough to get a table by the window - it was open and the breeze was so nice. The Parmesan bread was soooooo good, crispy, oily and tasty. I had the scallops which were TO DIE FOR. Scallops and rice cooked perfectly. The panna cotta was delicious too. As a nightcap I had an old fashioned which was great and my husband had the banana bread old-fashioned, which was too sweet for me but very good! At The end of the night our server gave us some great recommendations about local spots since we are from out of town. Just a great experience all around!
