Buon Appetito - Canton

Went there last weekend with another couple got there at 6, and at 730 having only been served our garlic bread and salad that came with meal, and waiting for 30 minutes for the waitress to even come to the table. As we waited, and time passed a couple came in and ordered and was served their food , another group of three sitting behind us same. Meanwhile our waitress kept going outside to her car, and within seconds coming back but never checking on us, updating us or anything. Finally at 715 after being there for and hour and a quarter we ask, where 's our food ? The waitress I 'll check and she never comes back. Finally as she 's serving another table that came in after and we see a takeout order come and go I say we 're done we 've been here 90 minutes and nothing. She says it 's always like this in Friday and Saturdays it 's only the chef/owner in the kitchen and our food was about to come out. Several things , either cut the amount of tables or limit the menu, or get help in the kitchen!!! The restaurant is outdated decor has not changed since last time we were there 30 years ago and to be honest its time has come to pack it in. They had a nice run, but my recommendation is run away from this place ! Oh

DELICIOUS! I went here for my graduation dinner with 4 other people and we could not stop raving about how tasty and huge the servings are! I personally got the papardelle carbonara and it was delicious. The eggy creamy sauce covered the fresh papardelle perfectly with the beauty pieces of bacon and peas. I would get this again. We recommend the sausage and peppers off their appetizers! All entrees came with a salad with creamy garlic sauce. I tend to not like salad dressing but this was so good. It was full of garlic and not too over powering. We started our meals with FOUR orders of garlic bread! It was that good. Super cheesy with TONS of garlic. The way it should be! It was BYOB so we brought our own bottles of wine in. Our server Sam was super knowledgeable about the menu and was super accommodating. The overall restaurant is small, but very warm and inviting. There is only one chef working and one server at a time but yet we had our food quickly with great service. Please make sure you make a reservation before you go! We will be back!

Just need to give another shout to Hoa, it is soft shell crab season and his dish with the crabs served over angel hair pasta with asparagus and lemon saffron sauce is by far the best soft shell crab I have had any where. The crab is perfectly fried in a very light batter and covered in a very tasty lemon saffron sauce. I look forward to this every year at this time. Don't miss out, they are not around for long.

I forgot how good this place is. As other yelpers note, it 's a hidden gem an unassuming little spot on Route 44. Back when I used to go with my family when home from college, our table would pretty much stretch across the breadth of the room. The food rather than the atmosphere was always the draw, which makes this kind of the perfect spot for pandemic era takeout. You don 't feel like you 're missing the experience of being in a restaurant and the food is just as good as ever. Actually, it 's even better than I remember. My usual dish about a decade+ ago was usually some kind of angel hair seafood pasta with a white wine sauce. This time, I got the shrimp cavatappi rose. Everything here is good but I think the cream based (especially pink sauces with a heartier pasta must be the chef 's specialty. I now dream about this dish. This is a great place for takeout the food was still hot even after the drive from Canton to Simsbury. And the portions are huge! I think it worked out to two dinners plus lunch for me. We also had some kind of chocolate ganache torte (I don 't recall the name that was delicious. Buon Appetito doesn 't really have the most active social media presence. You can find the menu pinned on their facebook page yes, it 's from 2017 and I think the prices haven 't changed! Call ahead especially on weekends or holidays on New Year 's Eve, they were totally booked for takeout orders (they deserve it!

Still one of our very favorite spots after living in Avon 15 years. Friendliest servers, consistently delicious food. We love the BYOB practice, because we have a TON of wine and we know what we like. It's so nice to know that an excellent restaurant hasn't changed in all this time. I know some people get bored with consistent excellence I guess we do not. : We love that we get leftovers from the generous portions. We love that we know the menu and know what we love. Grateful that we have it so near to us.
