Buona, a family-run operation established in 1981, is renowned for its authentic Italian beef, stemming from a recipe derived from Chicago's original beef stands. The Buonavolanto family has consistently upheld their commitment to quality by slow-roasting perfectly seasoned beef, creating a natural gravy that captures the essence of Italian beef.

With over four decades of history, Buona now operates multiple locations, offering a variety of fan favorites including Italian beef sandwiches, sausage combos, and char-broiled cheeseburgers. Their dedication to preserving Chicago's food traditions has earned them recognition as one of the best Italian beef purveyors in the city.
