Buona vita is buona

Buona Vita, Hermosa Beach

I've decided that Buona Vita is my favorite italian restaurant in Hermosa Beach. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, even on a week night, but it can get loud in a small and cozy space. You can bring a bottle of wine without getting hit with a corkage fee. The menu prices are reasonable. I definately recommend it for a nice dinner with friends or even for a casual date. The only downside is that it's closed on Mondays (I found out the hard way once). Since they don't take reservations, there can be a bit of a wait for dinner on the weekends- but it's worth the wait! I like getting recommendations about places, so I am reciprocating.
