Beef Month starts now.

For Buona, Italian beef isn’t just something on the menu; it’s the sandwich that built our story. Since 1981, we’ve stayed true to the original Chicago method: perfectly seasoned beef, slow-roasted to create rich, all-natural gravy from the beef’s own drippings, no shortcuts, no additives.

This May, we’re celebrating all month long with the World Beef Championship, members-only offers, limited-edition merch, and National Italian Beef Day on May 23.

Join us as we celebrate Chicago’s original Italian beef.
