“Celebrated my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary here. Jason and his crew were amazing before the event and during. Answered all of my questions ahead of time and made me feel comfortable before our party. Everything was perfect for this special day and we couldn't have been happier as the staffwas so pleasant, friendly, on top of everything, etc.; food was fabulous! Thank you for allowing us to use your facility! We will be back! The roast beef was amazing!!!! So flavorful!Kid-friendliness: My 8 year old son loved the foodWheelchair accessibility: Walked right in, no stairs!“
“Do yourself a favor and try this place out! My friend and I ordered a margherita and pesto pizza to go and they were absolutely delicious. Kinda weird but I like my crust/dough/whatever to be a little chewy but also thin. This place definitely hit the spot.“
“Jennifer the bartender was absolutely amazing made me and my significant other feel as if we were family, treated us as if we’ve known her for yrs , never waited for a drink and had our food out fast and steaming hot , was as good as when we went back to the old country , best Italian restaurant in the Buffalo area with even better service!!!!“
“Such a Buffalo staple- all their dishes are solid, and none will leave you disappointed. Great wine selection and attentive, friendly service (Terry is the best!). Homemade pasta is to die for (love the pappardelle piemonte and rigatoni genovese); so are the artichokes. Always a great experience all “
“Had an amazing experience here with 4 of us and a toddler. Service was great, food was out of this world, and the atmosphere was cozy. Can't wait to come back! Had the best French onion soup I've ever had and an Alfredo pasta that I've been dreaming about.“
“Arrived on time for my Reservation for my wife’s birthday and it turns out Resy app booked one in PA? Hostess was very accommodating and got us a table. Food was Amazing and fresh and the ,service was outstanding.Been awhile since we have dined here but we will definitely put this in our dinner rotation.“

“Amazing service and amazing food. Although it took more than expected for our food to come out, it was all worth the wait. It was more than we had hoped for. Our server Jason was very attentive and accommodating. If you are ever around this area definitely give them a try.“
“Bella Ciao (lower level of Embassy Suites - Downtown Buffalo Highly recommend! Excellent service (Isabella our waitress- her first time on her own after training- was excellent!) Food was very good! Homemade pasta- all very good! Management made sure they stopped at every table to check in! Great place!“
“Food is always good and atmosphere is great. Our server was a very sweet old lady and she took great care of us.This last time I was at Chef's I attended an event that was incredible. It was called "A Taste of Italy" and the location they featured was Sicily. The meal consisted of a four-course food and wine pairing. The first coast was an Arancini balled that was the size of a softball and stuffed with rice, ground beef, and peas, and sat in their red sauce. This was accompanied by a white Grillo wine. It was so good, and more than enough for one person. The second course was bucatini pasta with a red sardine sauce. This course was paired with a Merlot. The sardines were not overpowering and it was so good. I ended up having to take half home because I was already getting full. The third course was grilled swordfish with olives, capers, fresh lemon, and olive oil, with a side of fingerling potatoes. This course was paired with a Biano wine. Incredible, and even though I hate olives, the taste of them on the fish with the rest of the items was perfect. I also took half of the fish home. The last course was a cannoli, and I normally don't care for them, but these were perfect and very delicious. They also included warm homemade bread and coffee at the end. I can't wait for the next event in September, and highly recommend these events if you are a foody like me!“
“Love it here! Came a few times and it was great. Decided to have our 20 years HS reunion here and the service was exceptional all night by the entire staff. We all walked away super impressed and thankful for how easy and stress-free the staff made it! ?“
“We visited Blue Cave Restaurant for the first time! Everything was amazing. Their craft cocktails were delicious. Food presentation was beautiful and the taste was superb. Our serve was attentive but not overbearing. They have menu items labeled for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Highly recommend.“
“Incredible pizza. Have the Works. The pizza crust just melts on your mouth. My partner had the platter with three mains, Caesar salad and garlic bread. The food quality is always outstanding and the service is friendly. Can’t ask for anything more. The decor reminds me of the old Mother’s Restaurants but not to worry the food amazing. We drive here from Welland regularly. Worth the trip.“
“Such a lovely experience. Great food. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and he loved it said best chix parm he ever had. I had a seafood special and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was amazing. Dessert was mini donuts and were perfect and so much flavor. My martini was perfect and they even made me blue cheese stuffed olives!! I note that the owner made everyone feel very special by interacting with every table and service was excellent and attentive. Thank you Lauren.For a Friday night, where sometimes it’s so busy to go to a restaurant, you almost expect to get a lower level of service .… we received a higher level of service than I get at most establishments. Thank you for such a lovely and tasty evening.“
“We are in Buffalo for a kids hockey tournament and wanted to order dinner to our hotel. The staff at Airport Pizza were so friendly and accommodating over the phone. When the delivery service (door dash) they use wouldn’t authorize our Canadian credit card they had a staff member who was there to cook and be in the restaurant-deliver all of our pizzas. The order was made quickly and every single pizza (we ordered 7) was absolutely delicious!!! The pizza sizes were very generous and they were LOADED with toppings. We had a few parents say it was the best pizza they’ve ever had. I would 100% recommend anyone to eat here and will most definitely be a repeat customer the next time we are in Buffalo.“
“Amazing from the moment we walked in. Smiling staff. Vicki was phenomenal. The ceaser salad, homemade croutons and rolls, veal piccata and shrimp scampi were the best we’ve had. We will be back. Thank you for an incredible dining experience!“
“A well managed and courteous venue. We had chicken Marsala, ham, rice, vegetable (cooked from frozen but prepared acceptably) rolls and few other things (I didn't have them so I forgot). The chicken was tender and not over cooked. People loved the ham enough to compliment the staff about it.The manager kept us on pace for our three hour lease.The venue itself is nicely decorated in browns and wood accents. The compliments were abundant.The bar (we paid for the open bar option) was well stocked and the bartender was super professional yet accessible.We are definitely rethinking about rebooking for next year.“
“We purchased a caprese platter and 4 subs to contribute to a recent office party. Zio's--and specifically Ben--were easy to work with and our order was ready and beautifully presented at the appointed hour. In addition, the food was outstanding and the platter was massive for its price!“
“We had a bad experience with the quality of food awhile back but so glad that didn’t deter us from trying again. The food has always been amazing since then. Big portions. The customer service is always good. They make you feel welcomed and so appreciative of your business. They are always our “go to” for pizza and wings. I highly recommend their place for excellent food and atmosphere.“
“We had JTs for the first time tonight & we were very pleased. Super nice lady took our order & said delivery within the hr. & it came just a few minutes short of an hr! Pizza was really good & the kids liked the french fries. The barbecue wings were absolutely slamming, cooked perfectly with a light char, the sauce on them was tangy & sweet & very good with the creamy blue cheese. We'll be calling again!“
“Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️“
“Tried this Pizzeria for the first time tonight, will definitely be back! Got a Large Cheese and Pepperoni, 10 Fingers with Fries, Single order (12) Garlic Parm Wings, order of Pizza Logs. Everything was very good! Staff were very polite and got people in and out. The 2 ladies in front of me were referred to by name so I assume they are “regulars”. I pay attention to things like that, repeat customers are a sign of good food and value (at least to me). Prices were VERY REASONABLE!! Would have paid considerably more at most places. I have gotten pizza from probably 20-30 different places in Western New York. Don’t mind going “out of my way” for good food at a good price and this place was worth my trip!“
“All of our food was delicious. my seafood fra di avlo was super good & I had the eggplant stack appetizer it came on a salad with capers & olives with fresh mozzarella & the dressing was excellent. My Wife's food was also delicious. we can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu!!“
“Amazing dishes, we had about 8 different plates to share , my favourite was either the sea bass or venison, as well as the lobster ravioli. This was hands down best Italian I've had in some time. Also I can not compliment the wait staff enough, they were very present and made sure we had a great dining experience. Amazing staff here. 10/10 for me“
“The food and service were wonderful. The bar was way too small, it only fit the couples. The upstairs bar was closed which was large and a much better set up. This was unfortunate because the bartenders skills were great. Close the downstairs one and open upstairs. You'll attract a younger crowd up there. The beef tartare was my favorite dish of the night but my lobster was also great.“
“Forget everything you know about Italian food. Our meal was fantastic. The filet mignon was a little over cooked, but besides that the pasta sauce was amazing, the house dressing was super good and the garlic bread and knots were also great. Would drive the hour and a half just for this place. Thank you!“
“Yesterday my Gigi and I found this place. We were in town for a dance competition at sheas and didn’t know the restaurants around. We started walking and by the grace of god found this amazing place! First of all the atmosphere is amazing. The staff was friendly. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was probably the best server I have ever had. then came the food. Oh my god! The ricotta gnocchi is literally bites of heavenly clouds in your mouth. Moral of story probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (and I’m picky) this place will now be my favorite restaurant. I will happily travel from Fredonia to come here!“
“I will say food is good but not worth the price for most of the food items I do understand it's more of a classy place but not when you can go somewhere to get the same thing for cheaper and I say this because I have been cooking my whole life and I have worked in the food industry my whole life“
“Placed my first order tonight at Mustachio’s. My grilled chicken sub was absolutely DELICIOUS!! You can tell they use high quality chicken and it was cooked perfection. Perfect amount of lettuce and oil on a toasted, fresh sub roll. I’ve stopped going to other places because the quality of their chicken declined so Mustachios is now my go to pizzeria. Slice of pizza was also A++.“
“Omg,Me and girlfriend went for brunch this morning and William was our server William was awesome, from the way he described certain menu items, to customer service. The food was awesome. I will definitely come back and try dinner service next time “
“Okay the food, the setting, the layout!!!! 10/10. Self service for food- using a QR code that is placed on tables for the servers to run the food out to you PIPING HOT! Seat yourself and water and napkins and plates and wet-wipes (you’ll need them) to share were all easily accessible with both entrances.Went with a couple of friends and we tried:Pretzel and queso app ($14)- STUNNING, queso was a perfect blend of Smokey and smooth and the pretzels came in rods (4) and were piping hot 10/10Wingnutz dip ($13)- I know this is what they are known for but I personally like my chicken wing dip, spicy. The chicken was tender though and came with a massive plate of fresh chips. 8.5/10Spring Rolls ($13)- YUM- fresh out of the fryer laying on top of a bed of kimchi (not too soured or prickly but the perfect complement) and a sweet Chile sauce. Really fresh and crisp 9.5/10Last Dragon Tacos ($18)- WOW- these were super flavorful and fresh even with the very generous meat portion. Sometimes it can be too overwhelming, but they nailed this one between the kimchi and pickled red onions giving the taco the bite it needs, to the very tender brisket, and the sauce that adds a kick! Dynamite! 10/10Roasted Cauliflower Taco ($15)- packs quite the punch in a mouthful- really tender cauliflower that soaked up all of the delicious sauce served with. 8.5/10Wingnutz Chicken Sandwich ($16) with their Cajun fries. Note for the fries- absolute perfection, LOVE a fry that is just about half an inch thick- gives a great crust and super fluffy inside. Their chicken sandwich was MASSIVE, genuinely think they used half a chicken on it, soaked in a hot honey brine- they have perfected a Nashville style fried chicken and DONT forget the pickles (thick cut)“
“Warm ambience. Great service. Delicious food. The bread came out hot and crusty. The polenta especially was excellent, closest I’ve had to my Nonna’s. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. All the food was perfectly seasoned and felt good in my mouth (not exactly sure what I mean by this but the way I’d describe it). We were so comfortable we sat and chatted way past dessert. Eat at Inizio!!“
“My office ordered a bunch of sandwiches for the office. I had the muffuletta and it was VERY good. The olive spread and the sun dried tomatoes were incredible!! The bread was fantastic as well. My co-worker got the Super Hero. This is the only reason I was hesitant to rate this a 5. There was way too much meat and the bread was barely there. Half of the meat was hanging out of the side. If they out half of the meat in, it would be very different. Overall, big portions and great bread. I would recommend this place to anyone in town.“
“Always a pleasure coming here to grab some slices( preferably specials) lol. The customer service is always outstanding, the food is always great, never had a problem in all the years I've been coming here. Would definitely recommend, they have some good quality stuff here. Overall ambiance is cool... they have seating available inside as well.“
“Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants in Buffalo. All of the locations are amazing, go above and beyond. Food is always delicious and cooked perfectly. My go to for lunch at work (the salad….are you serious SO YUMMY!) and the dinner. Just do yourself a favor and eat here. I never go out of my way to leave reviews, but I had to for them, I cannot say enough good things!“
“I lived downstate for 15 years and the pizza at this place definitely can go toe to toe with anything down there. Has a downstate style menu with things like stromboli, penne alla vodka and garlic knotts. Definitely recommend if you like thin crust, foldable downstate style pizza. You will be disappointed if you prefer Buffalo style pizza with thicker crust, loads of cheese and cup and char pepperoni. However this place is a must try if you like thin crust NYC pizza.“
“The food here is always good, I've never gotten a bad meal here all though this portions are big and I typically get the fettuccine Alfredo and I can get two more meals off of my leftovers. The staff is always nice and the restaurant its self isn't bad.“
“A hidden gastronomic treasure and that is Bellini's Bistro. The food is prepared with skill and offers a delicious blend of Italian flavors. For those looking for tasty and real Italian food in the city, it's a great option because of its welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. Strongly suggested for a tasty and fulfilling meal.“
“What a great experience. Needed cannollis and lobster tails to go for a long ride back to Maryland. The filled the cannolis as we waited. She packed them and wrapped them for travel in a cooler at her suggestion. She cared enough to ensure they stayed fresh for when we got back home. You don't find that much anymore. The deserts were incredibly tasty and properly dry thanks to the attentiveness of their staff. You can't go wrong by eating here or getting it to go. Thank you to the wonderful staff that we were lucky to meet.“
“Great food (I won't shut up about their pizza), great service (everyone is so nice and just want you to eat well)! The prices are so friendly to one's wallet, especially when factoring in how GOOD the food is! Each bite of the various food I'd gotten here had me thinking "This would be $x more somewhere else." Highly recommended. Definitely taking my little family here next time we're in Buffalo!“
“Highly recommend Tappo restaurant. Very creative menu choices. Food is fresh with beautiful presentation and amazing taste. Service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and lively. By far our favorite restaurant! Always our number 1 choice.“
“Everything we had was fantastic, decent size portions. Food was made correctly. We tried the "maria goumade" panini, and the "foot of ferry" gourmet "sandwiches" both were really good. Highly recommend coming. We also got some salads.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I used to live near there and ate there regularly. Moved away 10 years ago, but was back in the area and had to stop in. The food is as good as it always was. Hubby had to have the fried chicken, his favorite! The food was good, the service friendly and attentive...we'll have to go back again!“
“I visited Forno E Gelato on 3/8/2024 to check out what they had since we were early for our reservation at Frank Primo's next door. The gelato case was well stocked and there were several enticing items in the pastry case. As I asked whether they made Italian almond amaretti cookies, Rachel, the owner came in and we had a pleasant discussion about them, she looked them up on her phone on the spot, and forwarded to the pastry chef for consideration. I recounted my fond memories of visiting my sister in Brooklyn and enjoying almond amaretti, which often entailed extensive negotiations for the last one! Anyway, I purchased pistachio amaretti and Grandma whites cookies for later, and consumed salted caramel gelato (made by Forno E Gelato) at the end of dinner at Franki Primo's. The salted caramel gelato was excellent, with a nice ribbon of caramel through it. It's my favorite flavor, so I have a lot to compare it against. Forno E Gelato's salted caramel was in the top 3 best ones I've ever had (in competition with Siena in Snyder and a place in Italy)! The pistachio amaretti were also excellent with the perfect soft chew and great nutty flavor. Grandma whites cookies were good with a slight anise flavor, and just not a cookie I would normally gravitate to or rave over anyway. I'll definitely be back for the salted caramel gelato, the pistachio amaretti, and (hopefully) some almond amaretti!“
“I had a bad experience my 1st visit. I contacted the owner who responded immediately. He replaced our whole order. I found it to be DELICIOUS. Not many owners would do that, he stands behind his product 100%. I will definitely be returning and recommend his restaurant“
“Dinner at DiTondo was absolutely fabulous! Fresh, local ingredients elevate the dishes to a level that make your taste buds long for more! Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed. Service was stellar & the atmosphere enhanced the entire experience.“
“Clean pleasant interior. Welcomed by staff. Attentive service. Chicken rice soup was excellent. Burger was juicy with a soft roll. Salad was fresh, the honey garlic chicken just right and the balsamic vinegar dressing was outstanding. Will definitely return!“
“Service was great! Ambiance was even better and food was very good! There was ALOT of good meals to choose from. Caesar was one of the best I've had. Cacio e Pepe was 8/10. Can't say it tasted 100% authentic as it should taste mostly like pecorino but the house made noodles were perfect. It could have used a little more salt. Lobster was cooked perfectly. Tiramisu was a 10/10. Espresso martini was decent. Pretty sure it was coffee liquor and not actual espresso. Can't wait to go back !!“
“Salad and soup was fresh and hot. It was late lunch for us and some servers maybe on break.. they grouped together for chitchat after bring us first round of salad so we needed to wait a bit before our server came back to refill. The food was good and taste great. Overall good experience and will go back. Good value for kids meal too. My kids enjoyed it alot.“
“Had a Galentines dinner here with 12 of us. Great options on the specials menu, fresh food, tasty, and the price is right. Some housemade pasta, delish cacciatore with super fresh veggies and sausage, and pastries basically anything you want. Highly recommend for a casual lunch or dinner. You'll have leftovers for sure! Yaaay!Vegetarian options: Gluten free and plenty of options for ovo lacto vegetarians for sure.“
“We started w class corals at the beautiful lounge area, very accommodating and friendly, plus the cocktail menu had so many delicious options. Had dinner shortly after, and it was amazing! The lasagna is a happy to-die-for dish, for which I ordered, but don’t miss out on all Sinatra’s has to offer because everything is worth it. Very reasonably priced, service is impeccable and it’s just one of the best places for true Italian food in Buffalo. Highly recommend.“
