Buona Beef Truck

The Buona Beef Truck brings Chicago’s legendary Italian beef straight to the streets, serving up the same family recipe that started it all in 1981. What began as a small shop in Berwyn, IL, has grown into a full-fledged institution, thanks to the Buonavolanto family’s dedication to tradition, quality, and hard work. Every sandwich carries decades of history, made with all-natural beef, slow-roasted in its own juices, and piled high on fresh bread for the perfect balance of flavor and texture.

Staying true to its roots, the Buona Beef Truck keeps the menu simple and authentic, focusing on the Original Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich that has become a staple of the city’s food scene. Whether served classic, dipped, or loaded with sweet or hot peppers, each bite reflects the same craftsmanship that has defined Buona for over 40 years. Alongside the signature sandwich, the truck also offers a lineup of crowd-pleasing favorites, bringing the best of Chicago street food to every stop.

As the largest family-owned Italian beef restaurant group in the country, Buona continues to grow while staying true to its origins. With third-generation family members and a dedicated team carrying on the legacy, the Buona Beef Truck is more than just a meal—it’s a moving tribute to Chicago’s rich food culture, bringing an iconic sandwich to neighborhoods across the city and beyond.
