Buonissimo Restaurant Birmingham — Restaurant in Birmingham

I am not sure how to do this but here it is, my 3rd week at QE hospital, lots of investigations tests etc… a very special day today, International women’s day, I felt that I want something special to eat. Checking Google maps for restaurants nearby I came across with this Italian restaurant Buonissimo. Pretty from the pictures, attractive menu just I wasn’t sure if they do take away so I called. Pretty little voice answered, that was Irma. I explained what I want and she only had to check with chef if food collection was ok. Chef Mark comes on the phone and he finds out that I am in hospital and family will come to collect food etc. Next thing he starts recommending what he believes it’s suitable for me, about the food texture and storage everything that I needed but I didn’t know nothing about it. Cut the story short, my family picked up the food and delivered to me with a lovely note from Irma and chef Mark, a wonderful bunch of flowers and of course a delightful Tiramisu from them ❤️. I have no words to describe the feelings and the emotions I felt. The food I had was Pate D’anatra as starters and Rigatoni alla Buonissimo, sorry I have no pictures of the food but I have photos of the most touching gesture I have ever had in my life !!! Thank you so much for the good wishes🙏🏼 Food was amazing, delightful taste, I believe the bread is baked in the house. Outstanding Customers service, very friendly team. I made a promise to meat them in person once I am better and I will, until then whoever has a chance to pop in this restaurant please do so and meet this great chef Mark and gorgeous Irma with their...

recently this place was really nice and i had nothing but great things to say, unfortunately we came here not long ago and the food was just so disappointing. I always loved the food but i have found it to be lacking flavour, presentation and the amount you get and what you get for the price is outrageous.

my starter was £9 it was 1 piece of romaine lettuce with 3 slices on mozzarella and 3 sundried tomatoes. £5 for 3 pieces of bread? come on, who are you trying to kid!

my main was not nice either didn't taste great, tastes frozen cheap and boiled!! everything has a boiled taste. Such a shame i have always given this place great praise but not any more. I saw recent reviews all stating the same about the quality of food becoming terrible and the price going up. It really is NOT worth your money I can tell you that for free.

hearing how they don't take there allergy safety seriously has made me very concerned, I am also gluten free and it makes sense now to why i felt unwell afterwards. If you have any allergies please please please do not come here!

trying to get the waitress attention was a task, ignored or walked past you. the next tables were so loud me and my partner couldn't even speak or hear each other! we had our mains and decided to get out of there fast!

overall my view on this place has changed dramatically and me and my partner will NEVER return to this place again. may as well go to pizza express the food will be...

My wife and I popped in here on our way to visit a relative, who is in the nearby Birmingham's QE Hospital, and wanted to have a bit of lunch as we were too early for visiting time. Well that is how we came to eat here. We parked in a side street and walked to the town (? village) centre and saw this place. It is only a small double-fronted shop but looks appealing and so we decided to give it a try. The man at the front of house was very charming and welcoming and asked us where we would like to sit. We selected a window table which was, as are all the tables, well spaced from our neighbours. This means you can have a chat without others listening in! We only had a main course but with a selection of Italian breads to share whilst the food was being prepared. The bread was fresh and tasty. The main course was absolutely excellent with my wife selecting a pasta dish whilst I had the pork belly. I have to say this was probably the best pork belly I have ever had. Cooked to perfection and not fatty, whilst having crunchy crackling that did not threaten to land you with a Dentist's bill. We had sparkling water and a couple of beers, followed by a coffee. All of this was served with manners and a pleasing attitude which I found a welcome benefit to dining out these days, especially in a "city" restaurant. Total cost for the 2 of us as described above was £41. Absolutely recommend and most definitely...
