My papa was the local sheriff and my mama stayed home with the kids. Being the youngest of 9 siblings I was the lucky one who got to spend the most time with mama in the kitchen.It was there, in a tiny cottage in a mountain village, that I learned that the main things that make food so special are the quality ingredients and the passion you cook with. Buon Appetito!
Chef Bio
Born in Southern Italy, Owner and Chef Raffaele Virgillo is the youngest of 9 kids. He was the baby, which meant he was the lucky one who got to spend the most time with his Mama in the kitchen. It was there, in a tiny cottage in a mountain village, that he learned that the only thing that makes food so special is the amount of affection you cook into it. You see, in Italy, they use only the freshest ingredients to prepare food for the people they love.

“Our group of friends met for dinner, and enjoyed our evening out. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and provided great service. Our food and wine was great. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend Bouna Sera.”

“Great food! Our son is a calamari fan and this is the second time they were here from out of state and he wanted to go back for the calamari as it was the best he had had. They did not disappoint, it still was the best, freshest and most perfectly cooked calamari. The rest of our meals we ordered were equally perfect.”

“Excellent New Year’s Eve dinner! My wife and I have been here multiple times over the years but last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner with 2 other couples was the best experience yet. All servers, management and cooking staff were extremely friendly and gracious even though we stayed late. And of course the food was fabulous!”
