About us
WELCOME TO BUONA! We are the restaurant whose literal foundation was dug by Joe Buonavolanto Sr. in Berwyn, IL, 1981, and has since expanded significantly. With 25+ locations, we are now officially the largest, family-owned and operated restaurant in greater Chicago! So, what’s the story? Joe Buonavolanto Sr. and his wife, Peggy, dreamt of opening their own restaurant to share their families’ recipes, rooted from Italy and passed down from generation to generation. To make the dream happen, they took out a second mortgage and got to work. And well, the rest is history! Now, for nearly 40 years, we’ve fed millions of Chicagoans our perfected, traditional, family recipes, ranging from, none other than our world famous, award winning "Buona" Italian Beef sandwich, to our Chicago-style hot dogs, pizza, and more. With gravy in our veins and beef on our minds, there's nothing we do that isn't coming from a place of passion or love. Our mission is to always bring authentic and vibrant dining experiences, rich with the flavors, quality, passion and family pride that is part of our family heritage. So, yeah. We're passionate. We're aggressive. We're family. Most importantly, we're growing - with no plans on stopping anytime soon! Ready for a life-changing experience? You're in luck. We're ready to change your life for the better.

Our Sr. Vice President of Operations & Training, Steve Felson, took the stage at IndustryNow to talk about leveraging technology for planning and executing brand initiatives. He emphasized the importance of balanced planning, the use of project planning software, and maintaining accountability and alignment across teams. Embracing tech is crucial for driving our brand’s growth and efficiency. While technology plays a crucial role for many of our teams—from restaurant support to our on-the-field teams and restaurants—effective planning and execution are the key steps that pave the way for our success. 🚀 If Steve's talk wasn't enough, we were also thrilled to bring our Buona and The Original Rainbow Cone trucks to IndustryNow. With so many great fast casual and QSR brands in our hometown, it was fantastic to give everyone a true taste of Chicago! #industrynow #qsr #restaurant #chicago #franchise
