What People Are Saying About Buon' Amici
The Owner
Buon' Amici
Owner
Though Buon' Amici is a new addition to Lower Manhattan, the Communiellos are not. Patricia and Michael are Little Italy natives and live in the seaport area. With a true sense of community, they have embarked on a new venture and have brought "real deal" home Italian cooking to the up-and-coming Fulton Street neighborhood. Buon' Amici serves up great tasting southern Italian cuisine, with many of the dishes created from Patricia's original recipes. Most of the ingredients are still purchased at the famous shops on Mulberry Street, and all the food is as fresh as can be. Executive Chef…

The best Italian place to eat in Manhattan!
by dkennedy11
Maybe it's because I am good family friends and neighbors with the owners, but I truly do love this restaurant. It's the only place where I can eat raviolis that aren't made by my mother. Their food and wine is fantastic and comforting, just sitting back with a glass of chianti and a plate of pesto gnocchi listening to dean martin in the background and you're back in Sicily. I love Pattie and Mike, they're great people and they always put the customer first, just how any restaurant should be ran. Love you guys!
- Pros: Fantastic environment, food, wine, EVERYTHING!!
- Cons: Too small, EXPAND!! :)

The Best Italian Restaurant in the Downtown Area -- It's a Must!
by johanna11
Folks, you've just got to try this place. The food's great -- real homestyle, oldstyle Italian dishes. The people who own it feel like family and anyone and everyone that comes in is family too! I live the in the area and there are lots of new places cropping up around us, but if you are in the mood for hearty, tasty, Italian dishes, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.
Tell Pat and Mike hello when you get there!
- Pros: Can't say enough about this place -- best for your dollar
- Cons: Absolutely None

Excellent neighborhood restaurant.
by spencemasta
I tried out this place after reading the reviews of others on citysearch. It is exactly how they describe it. The food is truly solid. At the start of the meal, the bread given was toasted nice and crispy. The entrees that we had was the porkchop, lobster fra diavalo and the osso buco. All were cooked very well. The porkchop was a thick cut slab that was perfectly cook. Very Juicy with a very cheesy potato pancake and stir fried spinach. The osso buco was soft and tender with a very well prepared. The lobster was just barely cooked through. The timing of the chef is very good. If you live in the area, this restaurant is definitely worth a go.
- Pros: The owners care.
- Cons: Limited seating

Most of the ingredients are still purchased at the famous shops on Mulberry Street, and all the food is as fresh as can be. Executive Chef Braulio Bunay perfectly translates old family recipes into a sumptuous Italian feast, complete with freshly made canolies that are impossible to resist.
Each diner immediately feels as though they have been brought back to their grandmother's house, as family is there to greet you when you enter.
