5 /5 Hamza Salah: Today I had a rough day so I decided I’d go out to eat, on a sorrowful empty and exhausted stomach. I was revived by Haywards Buon Appetito. This Italian restaurant exhibited every ideal trait I can name. The food was made timely, the restaurants interior lobby drowning in the feeling of home and Italy, music perfectly somber and guests respectful, not loud and obnoxious. The man next to me left a $40 tip for a $20 meal. As it should be for places of this personality. The team only talked to me when I needed, otherwise leaving me alone to soak in the flavors of my youth. Pasta 10/10 replacing the pork with chicken for my dietary restriction, and the salad was amazingly fresh, lacking some vinegrette for me, but that’s no problem as I was provided with my own to use. Can we also mention the fact that the owner is working as a chef, and a server? While his wife is also here working. This food encompasses love. Anyone who wants to have Italian dinner or lunch come here, come one come all. To buon appetito in Hayward CA.
