Never go here at all or especially for a special occasion, they will ruin it. Party of 8 and $500+ spent, youd think they would at least be courteous. NOPE! They sure know how to go the extra mile on putting customers last on top of the food being absolutely horrible. We had reservations there and asked to be seated outside on the empty patio. They told us it was too busy although it was empty. Once seated inside, it took 15 minutes just to get warm water poured into a pitcher after starring at the wait staff who was sitting around speaking amongst themselves at the counter. At the end of a slow awful night of service and food, 3 hours later, they refused to split the bill per seat, making our group do the caclulations and writing the amounts to charge per card on the recipt- Ridiculous! Customers come last here, of course. If you complain to the manager/owner, they will irgnore your responses, but if they do send a gift card to you, beware! The gift card sent to me, arrived in the mail about 3 weeks later, no note or amount encolsed. When you try to find out the amount on the gift card, they wont help and when I reached out to Gyft, the company they supposedly used, I was informed by Gyfts customer service that Bonicelli Kitchen is not a retailer of theirs and the card was not vaild. Bonicelli has yet to respond after I told them the card wasnt valid and forwarded the email from Gyft. Terrible all around and deceitful - do not waste any time or money here.

MY FAVORITE PLACE!!! It truly feels welcoming, like "home!" This beautiful local restaurant specializes in small plates featuring their own recipes! Everything is made from scratch, using the finest locally sourced and imported ingredients available. Everyone is extremely grateful to have you there! I love the caring staff, wine selection and best of all... the excellent food by Chef Bonicelli! Be sure to enjoy the beautiful patio! If you have a well mannered furkid [Dog] or two, theyre also welcome to join you. Good for: Special occasions, Date nights, Relaxing day/evening out with friends, family and loved ones! Brunch, lunch, dinner, gluten-free options, appetizer, wine, beer, dessert, small plates, healthy food, etc.

You can really tell that Laura (the Chef) cares so much about not just the food but the people shes feeding. From meeting her and her family, she does not compromise at all on ingredients. Maybe its that shes Italian and really values Slow Food/Real Food, but the quality is fantastic. The meat is always perfectly cooked and top-notch quality and it complements the glorious array of vegetables that every recipe incorporates. Healthy without compromising deliciousness, plus the recipes changing every week it never gets old. You can tell that an immense amount of work goes into every meal, every bite. Its soooo worth it.

My friends and I stopped by around 8:30 for a late Friday dinner. They offer small and large plates. I had the a large portion of salad nicoise, which was very tasty! The greens, beans, olives, tomatoes, hard boiled egg and tuna went well with the dressing. My friends had the homemade lemon pasta, spare ribs, and chickpea bread with veggies! A bottle of red Spanish wine topped off the meal just right. Laura, chef and owner, visited our table. It was nice to let her know how much we enjoyed her food. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. I want to try breakfast and lunch next!

I have been using Bonicelli for about a year now, they deliver a few lunches and dinners to my elderly parents twice a week. My father has Celiac and his food has to be Gluten Free, and my mother doesnt like too much spice or raw onions. Bonicelli has been so great in helping support my parents with healthy food they actually like and will eat, and over a year my parents havent gotten sick of anything since they always change their menu. Bonicelli is a lifesaver!

Absolutely amazing food! I order three dinners for the weekend for my grandma to help ease the load and we are so pleased with the service. She loves the food, they are always prompt and courteous when they deliver. Every time I call, I speak with the owner who is nothing short of a godsend. She has been incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend for meal delivery, it cant be beat as far as quality and quantity goes.

Received 3 days of dinners for 2 as a gift from a friend, the food was so amazing! The dinners were healthy and delicious and we couldnt wait for dinner each night, I didnt know what to expect when I got the gift certificate for meal delivery but when they showed up with this cute bag full of all this neatly packaged food I was totally impressed, and the food itself was even better!

Wonderful and attentive service! Cozy and charming atmosphere that feels homey and welcoming. Food was spectacular. Yes its a bit "pricey" compared to a chain restaurant... But you get the warm fuzzies knowing its farm to table, fresh and local. We just moved into the area and cant wait to come back! For sure our new date night spot.

Everything my group ordered was fantastic! Great salads and the lemon basil pasta was amazing. Desserts were also tasty. A few local beers on tap and a large wine list. Good service and nice ambience. It was too hot to eat on the patio but it looks like a great place to dine during good weather.

Super cute place with excellent food. The hand-made pasta is particularly good, with a delicate texture you cant get from dry pasta. The chef came and talked to us at the end of our meal and was very welcoming.

Bonicelli is delightful! Scratch Italian kitchen with a beautiful front of house. Cant wait until spring to eat out on the patio (local gardeners have volunteered to aid with the herbs and plants!).
