There’s something special about food prepared the traditional way; like this beautifully cured Italian prosciutto, carved by hand and served with all the care it deserves. It’s the kind of detail that makes Italian dining what it is: simple, generous, and full of flavour.

Four days away. Five spots left. Don't sit there thinking 'I wish I'd booked sooner ...' It's a menu not to be missed: buonappsotley.com/events/event-u…

Thank you so much for this lovely review Cath; it is very much appreciated, as is your custom. Without our much valued guests we couldn't do it!

It kind of makes you go 'ooohh' 😋 Menus: buonappsotley.com/menus

Proven for up to 100 hours, and with less yeast, our Pinsa dough is made of a blend of flours; wheat, rice and soya, has a greater water content for a lighter, crispier and more digestible base, which is healthier than traditional pizza.

It's Tuesday so no service today as we're usually closed on Tuesdays. ... but not next Tuesday when we're open from 6:00pm for a special event. There are only a few tickets left so don't miss what promises to be a fantastic evening. Pre-booked only! buonappsotley.com/events/event-u…

Reasons to visit Buon Apps: No.2 - The Service; friendly, professional, knowledgeable. It's no good having fantastic chefs in the kitchen if we have nobody to take orders, make and serve drinks and give you service with a smile.

Reasons to visit Buon Apps: No.1 - The Food; fresh, flavourful and properly Italian! Take a look at your choices here: buonappsotley.com/menus

It’s the little things that make the difference. Here’s chef Ann-Marie adding a final drizzle of Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil; a simple touch that brings depth and flavour to freshly cooked vegetables.

You could be enjoying this - our Signature Roast Beef - on Sunday. So what are you waiting for ... book here: buonappsotley.com/reservations
