Bonu Taverna Italiana - (Near St. Petersburg, FL)

Paige Cordero Thank you, thank you, thank you! We held our wedding here in July and it was a dream come true. From the second I met with Anne for an initial tour, I could tell we were in great hands. Her expertise and passion is unmatched. I had toured various other venues around FL and no other venue had a coordinator that was as thoughtful and understanding, the kind of person that always has a solution to any & all issues. I planned our wedding nearly entirely by myself and Annes assistance and advice made the day possible. Our guest list consisted of a lot of picky eaters and foodies, and everyone LOVED the food from start to finish! We paid extra for an oyster bar during the cocktail hour and it really elevated our event. The white glove service, endless passed and plated hors doeuvres, a main bar and additional martini bar, everyone was blown away. Also when someone accidentally spilled a martini on my dress, a waiter quickly whisked me into a side room and got rid of the stain. Everyone was incredibly thoughtful. The venue is so beautiful and unique! Filled with plenty of character and history. There are multiple great places to take photographs all around the grounds, inside and outside. We cant wait to come back for our anniversary and we hope to host more events here in the future.

Emma Schwartz The food was delicious. Meatballs, the fresh rolls, calamari and the mushroom pasta not pictured. Also our waiter Socrates was so lovely, made the dinner even better! Will definitely go back.

Ariana Lucidonio This was my favorite dinner experience on my trip to Florida - exceeded all expectations! Starting off with the fried oysters, easily my favorite bite of the night. An absolute must have. The grilled artichoke was good, not my favorite but the dipping sauce was delicious. For entrees we got the hotdog and hamburger (seems juvenile, but they’re known for both!) and they were outstanding. Cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The only thing I did not like were the fries, they were too thin and reminded me of potato sticks. You can swap them out for a variety of sides. The key lime pie to finish was the perfect sweet treat. The graham cracker crust was heavenly. Our waitress, Emily, was exceptional. So attentive, funny and made us feel right at home. I would absolutely come back!

Sarah S. Visited Island Way for the first time recently to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We reserved a patio table and had such a lovely experience. Jonas took care of us and he was just the best. He answered all of our many questions and was super knowledgeable about the menu. We had such a wonderful and memorable evening with incredible food, a gorgeous view, and the best service. Will definitely be back!

Carlos Austin Excellent experience! We went there after a candlelight concert at a nearby church, and I’m glad we did. We were about 30-45 minutes earlier than expected, and the hostess was able to quickly accommodate us. Our server, Giovanni, was very friendly and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING on the menu. My mother had a food allergy and he was able to immediately tell us what she had to stay away from. Very good. The food was amazing! The service was great! The ambience magnificent (although a little loud for our liking). I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Joseph Vitale I will tell you this is one of the best places in downtown Fort Lauderdale . You must try the tomahawk steak not only you get a good show but the steak was very tender and tasty. The mashed potatoes was on the money the place is very clean live entertainment with a DJ and bathrooms were clean. Definitely would come back
