Your home away from home for Italian food.
A casually elegant dining room, a full pizzeria for takeout and delivery, a private banquet room for 55, and live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights — all under one roof on Route 9.
Dine in, take out, or celebrate.

Homemade, made to order, and made with care.
Succulent seafood, juicy steaks, veal, fresh ceviche and bruschetta, charcuterie boards, homemade soups, and gourmet desserts — all made from scratch in our kitchen.

Sharing our love of great food, friends & family.
New ownership, but the same familiar faces, great food and excellent service.
Alfredo Leonor, a lifelong pizzaiolo, worked alongside Buon Appetito's previous owner for years before taking over with his wife, Agueda. He has spent the past five years getting to know the business and the customers who make it what it is. Agueda manages banquets and catering.
As Ocean County residents, the Leonors believe this is the best place to raise a family and run a business. Their goal is simple: to keep the tradition of excellent food and customer service alive, and to make Buon Appetito your home away from home.
