Though Buon' Amici is a new addition to Lower Manhattan, the Communiellos are not. Patricia and Michael are Little Italy natives and live in the seaport area. With a true sense of community, they have embarked on a new venture and have brought "real deal" home Italian cooking to the up-and-coming Fulton Street neighborhood. Buon' Amici serves up great tasting southern Italian cuisine, with many of the dishes created from Patricia's original recipes. Most of the ingredients are still purchased at the famous shops on Mulberry Street, and all the food is as fresh as can be. Executive Chef Braulio Bunay perfectly translates old family recipes into a sumptuous Italian feast, complete with freshly made canolies that are impossible to resist. Each diner immediately feels as though they have been brought back to their grandmother's house, as family is there to greet you when you enter.
