Buona Terra

I am new to the City and LOVE Macarons so I was delighted to learn about Macaron Day, which is a charitable event featuring (you guessed it) macarons from different bakeries around the city. This was a great opportunity for me to try out different bakeries while getting to know the city and of course enjoy my favorite dessert.Buona Terra was my first stop and really could have been my last. Of all the other locations who participated in Macaron Day, Buona Terra was hands down the best! Their flavors were on point, the cookie was fresh, crisp on the outside yet chewy on the inside. They were perfectly baked (There were no holes on the inside or a crumbly shell). The cookie was smooth, had a light sheen with perfect feet. It was indeed light and airy and represented the Macaron Day theme of "Lighter than Air." Lastly, the filling was just enough and brought a perfect balance of sweetness to this delectable treat .As if that wasn't enough, their shop was clean and fresh, the gelato was attractive and so tantalizing to view that my daughter shrieked with excitement as soon as she saw each mouthwatering flavor. And the service, wonderful, friendly people who define the notion of "service with a smile." I realize this review may be over the top especially coming from me, someone who never does reviews. However, that is exactly what I think of Buona Terra, over-the-top in taste, service and overall experience! Thank you for an amazing Macaron Day! More...

A great place for gelato and crepes. I went there after lunch for a crepe. It was made right in front of us with locally sourced fresh fruits. The taste was good and the service was great. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. More...

The gelato was so smooth and creamy. Staff was friendly, patient, and helpful. They do offer a vegan chocolate gelato which is AMAZING.

Step inside this unassuming Mt. Lookout eatery and you will culinary transport yourself to Europe with their crepes, macaroons, and gelato. It is a no-lose proposition. Eat in or carry out. Either way you will enjoy. More...

Excellent gelato! This is the real deal. Made exactly as traditional Italian gelato is made. Strawberry basil was interesting. The pistachio and the coconut were fantastic. Extremely friendly staff, comfortable, clean and delicious. More...

Stopped in today and had a delicious summer time crepe with lemon curd and fresh berries. Quick service in a cute shop on Mt Lookout square. I want to go back already for gelato and macarons! More...

My spouse and I had Buona Terra cater our wedding 3 years ago, and they were a huge hit! We got so many compliments from our guests-- they had never seen a gelato cart at a wedding before! It was a pleasure working with them to customize our flavors, and they tweaked some of their recipes to allow us to offer some vegan options, as some of our guests were vegan. Very reasonable pricing, delightful service, and delicious flavors. Thank you! More...

Not up to my Italian gelato standards. Nonetheless, very likely the best in town.

Fantastic gelato. They do Affogato (gelato and espresso) which is always a great combo.

My favorite place for crepes and gelato in town. Only four tables, so table service is adequate, but a bit perfunctory. Flavors are a delight and everything is super fresh. We're here at least once a month.

The gelato here puts another definition onto creamy, and pulls off the airy feel gelato should have. I won't say it's the best you can find in town, but it'll still knock your socks off whether you've had authentic Italian gelato or never had it before

Wow! I've had gelato in Italy, and this is so close (the closest I've ever had in the States), I loved it! Drug the family from Fairfield to go down, and everyone agreed it was worth the drive. My only advice is that you better know how to parallel park, and bring a couple quarters if you're there before 6pm on Saturday. And hey, try a crepe - not overwhelmingly sweet, just tasty. More...

Fantastic gelato shop! Great mix of classic flavors and unique new combinations. The Macwich is a new twist on ice cream sandwiches using macarons! Delicious!
