Buonissimo opened in downtown Fort Worth in the former Avanti space, an Italian restaurant led by three chefs freshly arrived from Italy, with executive chef Armando Sobatti at the helm. The menu focuses on Venetian cooking, in-house pasta, pizza, and steaks, alongside seafood dishes that reflect the coastal cuisine of Venice and Italian staples like tiramisu. The dining room is warm and sleek rather than rustic, designed to work equally well for a date night, a business dinner, or a casual pasta-and-wine evening at the bar. A hand-shaken cocktail program and a curated Italian and Californian wine list round out the experience. Best for a polished Italian date night or celebratory dinner near the courthouse downtown.
