Buona Terra is owned and operated by Chef Jose "Chepé" Garcia (formerly of Tuscany on Taylor and Riva) and his wife, hospitality industry veteran Eileen Gregg Garcia. Longtime residents of the Logan Square neighborhood, we opened our restaurant in a storefront on California Avenue — just south of Logan Boulevard — in April 2002. Our goal was to create the kind of dining experience we ourselves enjoy — intimate, relaxed and as appropriate for a first date or a special family get-together as it is for a good meal before a movie.
