WELCOME TO BUONA! We are the restaurant whose literal foundation was dug by Joe Buonavolanto Sr. in Berwyn, IL, 1981, and has since expanded significantly. With 25+ locations, we are now officially the largest, family-owned and operated restaurant in greater Chicago! So, what’s the story? Joe Buonavolanto Sr. and his wife, Peggy, dreamt of opening their own restaurant to share their families’ recipes, rooted from Italy and passed down from generation to generation. To make the dream happen, they took out a second mortgage and got to work. And well, the rest is history! Now, for nearly 40 years, we’ve fed millions of Chicagoans our perfected, traditional, family recipes, ranging from, none other than our world famous, award winning "Buona" Italian Beef sandwich, to our Chicago-style hot dogs, pizza, and more. With gravy in our veins and beef on our minds, there's nothing we do that isn't coming from a place of passion or love. Our mission is to always bring authentic and vibrant dining experiences, rich with the flavors, quality, passion and family pride that is part of our family heritage. So, yeah. We're passionate. We're aggressive. We're family. Most importantly, we're growing - with no plans on stopping anytime soon! Ready for a life-changing experience? You're in luck. We're ready to change your life for the better.

Hogsalt was born different. It was the result of starting at the bottom. Of knowing nothing, but remembering everything. Of kitchens that inspired their crews, and kitchens that failed them. When Brendan Sodikoff decided to end his apprenticeship, it was 2010 in Chicago and the only place he could afford was a space where six previous restaurants had crashed. But he knew a key lesson: who you worked with, and how you worked together, was every bit as important as what was on the plate. Today, Hogsalt restaurant group employs more than 1,000 and has over twenty restaurants scattered across four cities. Our establishments are quirky, beautiful, and mischievous. We serve classic dishes executed so well that you'll understand why they became classics in the first place. We work hard to make every guest's visit something they'll remember for a long time. We take great pride in being part of an organization that makes people — our guests and ourselves — happy.
