We had an amazing dining experience there with warm, friendly, and kind service. The views as the sun set on the hills were amazing. The ambience at dusk in the lush valley was lovely and the music playing on the speakers was so perfect for the time of day. My wife loved the music so much that she sought out the owner to have put it in her Spotify playlist. We began with their house sparkling wine and beef tartare, scallops and shrimp in a wonderful broth, anchovies four ways, and grilled octopus. All were flawless, so delicious. The shrimp and scallops were one of the best things I’ve eaten. For the second course, two of us shared the risotto with shrimp, which was excellent. We accompanied the risotto with their special house white which was luscious. The others had mixed lightly fried seafood, which to me was the star of the evening. The seafood carbonara was also great. We finished with a molten chocolate lava cake and Tiramisu, both of which we all gobbled. The owner brought out complimentary limoncino which was a perfect ending for a wonderful night. So worth the hike up the hill after all the mediocre meals we had in town. Five stars for the food and the lovely people.

What a beautiful time we had at Buranco. It was lovely taking time out from our busy schedule. The views were amazing and the staff were very attentive. We did the wine tasting and had a small share platter. Well worth a visit.

Incredible doesn’t begin to describe the experience. Head chef and the host of the home, Giovanni and Mary, came to greet us during our meal. The wait staff, Wilfred, was excellent. Thereafter samples of drinks were shared and a tour provided. Amazing meal and experience. Highly recommend for a stunning setting, great food, and wonderful experience!

We did not here, just walked up for the wine tasting. It's an easy hike just above Monterosso Old Town. There were 4 Buranco wines plus a Limoncino with bruschetta. A gorgeous setting and excellent staff. Beautiful grounds with a lemon orchard and a terraced vineyard. Families with kids could get a glass of wine, sit on the lawn and let the kids run around. Highly recommend if you like wine.

We visited the restaurant. The food quality was outstanding, fresh and flavorful. The wait staff was very knowledgeable on the local ingredients. The tuna, stuffed ravioli and pasta all had new flavors and prepared with care. Be mindful of the location and bring bug spray.

A short walk to the winery itself. The original server who was from African descent was amazing (10/10) after that the staff were dismissed and disinterested in what we wanted to order and dis not give a damn their we left

We booked a table for lunch at 14:00 and were seated in a lovely spot overlooking the garden. The place was quiet at that time and the staff was friendly. We ordered cold cuts and cheese (€27), trenette with green beans, potatoes and pesto (€25), and braised veal cheek (€36), along with a glass of red and white wine (€8 each). The food was good - the Parma ham and veal excellent - but the cheese plate was a little underwhelming with only one type of cheese. Overall, a very pleasant lunch. The only downside was at the end, when we were offered a “gift” of homemade Limoncello, which turned out to be added to the bill at €6 each. After pointing it out, the charge was removed after some arguing with the manager, but it left a slightly bittersweet impression. It also felt as if they were trying to hide it, since we were only given the total amount at first. I only noticed the additional €12 charge when I took the itemized receipt myself. In the end, the bill landed on €120, but the saddest part is that what could have been a wonderful lunch was dampened by this unpleasant detail

Overall some high expectations that they did not manage to live up to. The location is amazing and the food was good but not great. Wines were ok but nothing more (the Syrah Cabernet S. would have benefited from 2-3 degrees lower serving temperature). But what made us both annoyed and left a bitter taste in my mouth was that the staff offered us complimentary Limoncino when we asked for the check. Only to then have to argue with the manager when we were charged €12 for this on our initial bill. Shame, what could have been a nice visit became laden with this final act of dishonesty.

Do What a lovely place to go for a long lunch, however the service was lacking. staff seemed confused or actually didn’t care about us. Such a shame as had a long standing booking. Some dishes were…

We preemptively booked two reservations with Buranco because it had been fantastically reviewed and was situated close to our lodging. Our first experience was alright, we booked the Ristorante Buranco Wine Experience, which was slightly vague with what it offered. Unfortunately we found out that our 50€ went towards a wine tasting and seat reservation that would not have been occupied had we not been there (in the peak of tourist season in July). The wine accompaniment to our dinner would have only been 20€, which we could have settled the difference with had there been any other benefit than a reservation. Our second (prebooked) experience was the "Buranco Wine Experience" which advertises "Wine, bruschetta, and a selection of cured meats and cheeses " and a "true wine tour to discover our vineyard and cellar". This was frankly not the case as we proceeded to be sat at a table with just bruschetta and wine. No "assaggio di formaggi e salumi tipici". If the meats weren't available (despite our reservation 2 months prior), the least I could expect was going to be the tour of the vineyard and cellar. We didn't get that either, but instead were told we could "peek inside" to observe the process, which we were promptly ushered away from by the owners husband being told "it was impossible". 50€ per person to be told we were receiving almost none of what we had paid for prior. After our first experience we chalked it up to bad luck, but the inconsistency with the second experience truly settled that you simply won't get what you paid for. The staff was fantastic and accommodated us to the best of their ability, especially when we showed them what the website advertised as opposed to what we were experiencing. Despite this it was obvious they were not allowed to produce the experience we had paid for. The wines themselves were delicious, especially the syrah blend. The olive oil was great too, and if I cared to support the business I would have purchased both. Landscaping, views, and the ambiance were also fantastic, one of the waiters even sang Ave Maria for the crowd. Overall, do NOT preemptively make reservations here. The food and wine are worth it if you choose to walk up, but not worth any additional prices from booking experiences with them. This lack of clarity and correction are the reason I've elected to give this establishment 2 stars despite their staff and product.

We showed up for our reservation early, and were asked to go to the “isle of relaxation” as the kitchen wasn’t open, and were promptly forgotten. We went to the main check in area at the time of our …

Beautiful property with so much potential. Walked up from the town, where we were staying. Amazing outdoor views of the vineyards. But it was a very odd evening. Staff were really young, inappropriate and immature. No one appeared to be in charge. A shame for the chef as food was quite good. They wouldn’t let us order the dishes listed for 2 people only. We don’t like the same things so was disappointing and didn’t seem like a big deal. Red wine was good but bottle served too warm. One server kept trying to speak French to me and was really annoying. Weirdest of all was when we were done, we were taken into a room /office and told to give them our credit card. I never saw a bill just told the total. At this point, we just wanted to clear out so paid it. Would love to know what the story is behind this very odd establishment …
