THE BONA SERA STORY

 We are more than just a misspelling of the Italian greeting for Good Evening (Buona Sera!)…we began in 2008 as an underground supper club in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area of Michigan. Wonder Woman and Bad Fairy (our underground names) have produced underground events to benefit local community causes in barns, warehouses and the fabulous homes of generous hosts. We have worked with a loyal group of volunteers and adventurous diners to present our World, fusion, twisted-inspired versions of both classic dishes and new concoctions in 6 course dinners.To date we have raised more than 20,000 for non-profits and will continue to conduct underground    events…to find out more about the next underground dinner, just ask your server to add you to our email list or follow us on Facebook and watch for our next dinner announcement.
