Disappointed. We were a party of 9 that made the booking via website and we were looking forward to a pleasant Easter Sunday family lunch. First dish (mushroom soup) arrived after 25 mins and succeeding dishes came another 20-30mins after that. Worst, I ordered cheese pizza for my young daughters and it was the last dish served after flagging the staff several times. The Sangria came also after 30 mins from order time and several follow-ups. Alas, it was watered down! You can instantly tell by the color. The food was okay. Was hoping it was worth the wait but it was not. In any case, We were too hungry to be critical. Definitely not going back.

Boasting of italian interiors, Buona Vita is definitely on my list of go-to authentic italian cuisine. From the al dente pasta, to the perfectly baked pizza, everything was delectable. I came here for lunch, the place was quite hot, maybe they should upgrade their AC system. Other than that, the experience was one of a kind. Staff were accomodating, courteous, and attentive. Our glasses were filled with water before we know it, and they serve complimentary bread paired with pesto and salsa which can be refilled several times. It's a quiet place where anyone of any age can catch up, but make sure to get a table near the AC just so you'll be comfortable all through out your dining experience.Margherita Pizza - For P350 good for 2-3 persons you get yourself quite a deal! Loved the fresh basil on this one. The thin crust is very crispy which I loved!Crema di Salmone - P360, good for 2 persons! Al dente pasta, creamy but not to the point of satiating, generous serving of salmon. This one is quite a catch!Lasagne al Forno - P380, good for 2 persons if you have a fair appetite. I don't eat beef so I just tried the pasta, I saw the cheesy goodness though and the bechamel was quite rich-tasting according to my friend.Churros con Chocolate - I was disappointed with the serving of this one. There were only 4 pieces for P200. But the chocolate dip was to die for.Tarts - this is not in the menu. They offer the small ones for P60/each. They have a promo of P150/3pcs, and P250/5pcs. I got the 5-pc promo so we could have a taste of everything. My favorites were the Lemon Meringue, Mango and Peach, and Chocolate. Definitely hits the spot but quite pricey, 1 tart is only food for 1 person.

The restaurants ambiance was very good though the space was pretty small. It was also pretty hot when we visited. The staff are really friendly and smiles a lot. I felt very comfortable here. Their main courses are good for sharing for about 2 persons. Surprisingly, the food tastes reallt good! A bit pricey though considering the serving size.

They serve authentic Italian food, however the price is a bit on the high side. Serving size was relatively small for the price and the homey feeling that the place provides. Maybe it was because I was busy then, but I wasn't able to enjoy any of the food that we ordered. Maybe I'll give this place another shot some other time. Staff were okay. The AC was quite low. The interiors were just right -nothing too tacky, feels homey.

We came here because it was my birthday. Its a relaxing place. There classic italian style matches everything, from table ceiling chairs. It's a lovely place. We ordered the chicken al forno which is a big tasty two chicken legs with a side of potatoes, which is also a good taste! And pasta amatriciana. With pizza margherita and cappruciano ❤

Italian Food has always been close to the hearts of the Filipino. Traditional ways of preparing good ingredients in a certain way that has been passed down for generations. It comes down to the quality ingredients, the effort that goes into the preparation and the generous portions. There has been always a soft spot, for this type of meal. Perhaps it’s because of some similarities we share such as family style dining, close family ties, and respect for your elders. We have loved this cuisine so much that we Filipinos have even innovated on one of their flagship dishes the spaghetti and made it our own by adding sugar and hotdogs. It’s a cuisine that’s relate-able, and familiar to us.

Buona Vita Italian Restaurant is located at Molito Alabang and is an easy accessible place. I was stunned by the interior pendant light from entrance and the entire interior lighting as well. They have function room wether you want small dinner with friends and family or an intimate meeting space.The staffs are very friendly and polite.Pizza night was a blast! We started ofcourse with their unique cone pizza called Pinocchio which intent is to get kids enjoy having pizza too. Also the pumpkin soup is great for kids they will surely love it. I actually love everything I had.. from complimentary bread and dips to pizza and salad! Your family and friends will love staying here.Thank you Buona Vita for the experience! It was a great and fun Pizza night.

Buona Vita is located at Molito Lifestyle Complex in Alabang, they recently renovated to sport a fresher, casual feel. The interiors look bigger given the lighter coat of paint, better and brighter lighting. And to celebrate this new look, Buona Vita recently launched Pizza Night, aside from unlimited helpings of the Freshly made Pizza, you can also feast on their Potato Salad - huge chunks of soft boiled potatoes, lightly dressed, i really enjoyed this and had a number of servings. The Macaroni Salad was equally flavorful. The green Salad was served fresh, with crunchy carrots and cucumbers. The cherry Tomato was sweet and a good companion to the vinegrette dressing. The Squash Soup with a Little dash of balsamic vinegar was thick and nutty. I loved dipping their authentic pretzel into it. A Great companion. They had an assortment of Pizzas for guests to try - notably the Pinnochio, a cone style pizza perfect for the on the go crowd. Try out Buona Vita every Thursdays for Pizza Night.Disclaimer: Sponsored dining by Buona Vita.

Buona Vita, which means Good Life, stands for an authentic Italian food experience in a cozy, home-like atmosphere which we are sure you will love. To be honest, I am not familiar with Italian food, don't get me wrong but I eat more of Korean food than Italian. While several restos claim Italian freshness, Italian this and that, this dine haven truly delivers everything Italian. Buona Vita exceeded my expectation! For just P790, you will enjoy an authentic Italian buffet that offer starts with a selection of breads, salad, and soup. A choice between two kinds of pasta dishes and their Porchetta and Roasted Chicken.

Very good, reasonably priced, Italian food. We ordered the Taglierini al Brucio and the 9-inch Margherita pizza. These were substantial enough for 2 people to share, with room for dessert! The noodles in the taglierini were perfectly al dente. We were happy with the service, as well.On a cool day, I recommend dining al fresco, and enjoy the sights and sounds in Molito.
