Bistro di Bufala offers a variety of experiences, from excellent food like the steamed clams appetizer and wood-fired pizzas to some service hiccups that might need improvement. The cocktails, like the Paloma and Berry-Smash, are crafted masterfully. The fries are tasty but could be crunchier. The restaurant features a cozy, intimate atmosphere with both upstairs and basement dining options; upstairs feels lighter, while the basement has a darker, speakeasy vibe. The ambiance is not pretentious, fitting well with the overall vibe. The food is made with fresh, quality ingredients that are locally sourced, and specials are definitely worth trying. The bar offers excellent drink specials, and the staff is attentive and welcoming once settled. Reservations are recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when slots fill up fast. This downtown Visalia spot is perfect for a date night, and despite some service issues, the food and drinks at Bistro di Bufala make it a worthwhile visit.
