Do not judge this book by its cover!!! Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine with little twists you might not see anywhere else. We took my dad for a late birthday lunch and were delighted with our food and the owner who served us personally and very obviously puts his heart into this place. We all got the creamy tomato and crab soup which was AMAZING and served with fresh warm bread. All of our mains were amazing and the owner over-heard we were celebrating a birthday and brought out a cannoli with a candle in it! Truly a hidden gem!

I ordered the cacciatore and it was very delicious. Food was incredible. I couldn't believe the size of the beer samplers. Tony was very friendly and pleasant. This is the best ristorante italiano. Definitely coming back.

I can't believe I waited so long to try this restaurant out. The food was delicious and the service was timed nicely. Definitely a spot to check out for actual Italian food. I'm impressed and coming back. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

My wife and I were staying in Gettysburg and wanted some good Italian food for dinner. Saw the glowing reviews for Buon Appetito and decided to make the drive over for a late Sunday dinner. I saw reviews by Jenna and others suggesting the atmosphere needed some updating. The exterior is not what you'd expect. It is a little dark inside and could use sprucing up in areas. However, I'd still call it fine dining. It has a huge dining room (and a new patio) with white linens under glass tops. It was not busy when we were there and Tony the owner and chef was also our server. He was very friendly and attentive and gave great advice on food selections. The mozz sticks were creamy. Marinara was bold and flavorful. I had the cannelloni and wife had meat ravioli with a meatball. Flavors were great. The pasta was fresh, cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of chew to it. We were very happy we made the drive.

A hidden gem a bit off the normal path but well worth the short trip. I don't know how this place isn't packed when we go. The food is great and can really creative. The drinks are cool and they have house made beer that you can get flights of. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic date but we took the family and it was a great time. Can't wait to go back.

I recommend dining in! The food is delicious and fresh, authentic Italian. The apps and dessert are amazing! We love the special entrees, especially the tortellini. The owner is very kind and goes above and beyond.

The food was spectacular!! Worth the drive, don't judge this book by it's cover. A friend was raving about this authentic italian restaurant where the owners cook and serve you. She was right, it was absolutely perfect. We drove 45 minutes to get there and are planning on going again soon. It's out of the beaten path, but if you are a foodie and love great valued home cooked, original, scratch made foods you must go here!

It felt cozy and romantic to me as soon as we walked in (perfect as we were there on a date). We tried both the tomato cream of crab and Italian wedding soups; both were very good! For our entree I ordered the chicken affumicato and he ordered the chicken Parmigiano. Both dishes were so delicious; even the bread was delicious! This place has got to be my new favorite for Italian food!!
