Buon' Amici

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 Braulio…

A must try

I have been a costumer at Buon Amici for the last 5 years and they never cease to amaze me. Don’t be fooled by the location or the size, they offer impeccable service along with a mouth watering cuisine. Dining at Buon Amici is like taking a two hour trip into a restaurant in Italy. The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes. My all time favorite however is the Mussels in white wine sauce and the Buon Amici pasta.

My idea of a great place for dining is not only the quality of food, but also the atmosphere, ambiance and courtesy of staff, etc.
Mike, Patty and Bobby make sure that all of this is accomplished. Stop by Buon Amici any time and you are always guaranteed a great dinner and friendly atmosphere. Could never make up my mind as to what to order since everything on their menu is superb. Truly down home Italian, since most of the recipes belong to Patty and her Mom (especially the meatballs!). The place is the utmost in quality of food and service.
I highly recommend Buon Amici
Ridiculous place
by emilysutton1 at Citysearch
The reviews of this restaurant had to be written by staff and not patrons. Go by any time on any day and you will see that it is the least populated place in the area. Why? For 4 cheese ravioli "special" (AKA cheese ravioli) you will pay $21.00. Do not go here it is substandard for the area and ridiculous in price/service. I project they will be out of business at the close of the year,
The best Italian place to eat in Manhattan!

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!! :)

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

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 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.
