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, such as the Paloma and Berry-Smash, are crafted masterfully. The food is delicious, with standout dishes like the seafood pescatore and chicken risotto, which is noted as the best risotto some have ever eaten. The restaurant features a cozy, inviting atmosphere with both upstairs and basement dining options; upstairs feels lighter, while the basement has a darker, speakeasy vibe. Although it can get a little loud when the tables are full, the ambiance is not pretentious and allows for cozy conversations. The fries are tasty but could be crunchier. 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 or a gathering with friends, and despite some service issues, the food and drinks at Bistro di Bufala make it a worthwhile visit. Pro tip: arrive early, sit outside if possible, and come hungry for a truly satisfying experience.
