Not sure if anyone else was able to use their Groupon here, but I wasn't able to...that was a bummer. Our neighbor super-hyped us about Buono's and highly recommended this place so when I saw a Groupon for it, I bought it.
But when we went for lunch one Saturday, there was a sign on the window saying they were not accepting Groupons. So I had to notify Groupon for a refund--that took a few days but I eventually got my refund processed. I think at least a few people had contacted them about Buono's because I received a mass email from Groupon apologizing for Buono's Groupon not being valid anymore and I also received a personalized message from the Groupon customer support shortly after.
Anyways, on to the food. We started off with spicy honey wings as an appetizer. DELICIOUS! The sauce was tangy and flavorful (although not spicy enough, but we have a high tolerance) and the wings were gone in a flash. We had high hopes for the pizza...
I had a mushroom/spinach/tomato slice and a sausage/mushroom Sicilian slice. Well, I had actually ordered the veggie slice to be on a white-garlic sauce style, but the sauce wasn't prepared yet (boo) so I had to get it in the traditional style.
The mushroom/spinach/tomato slice was very sad-looking. The mushrooms were the canned kind!!! Blasphemy!!! And the amount of veggies was pretty skimpy. The sausage/mushroom slice was not my cup of tea, but I don't know if I'm just not fond of the Sicilian style.
My husband ordered the calzone and was veeerrrrryyyy disappointed with it. The crust wasn't good and overcooked to the point of being rock-hard so it was kind of a pain to eat. Usually he scarfs down his calzones quickly (it's his first choice at italian places), but we left with 3/4 of the calzone intact and I ended up having to toss it when I was cleaning out the fridge because he didn't eat the leftovers.
All in all, it wasn't a great meal. But we really did like the wings so maybe when we have a craving we may order them from Buonos for takeout.
