The atmosphere and food were absolutely amazing. My husband and I look forward to eating there again.
Not sure what's worse, the food or the service. Overpriced mediocre food. Our party was almost done with dinner before I got my beer. Asked for napkins, ended up getting up and getting my own from another table.

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. Customers often sit downstairs in the basement for a great experience, enjoying attentive bartenders who make excellent drinks like the "orange you glad I didn't say lemon" and a glass of Buffalo Trace. The menu also includes sharing dishes such as margarita pizza and spaghetti with meatballs, which are highly praised. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, especially in the basement, and the staff are friendly and fast, making guests feel at home. The restaurant is located right on Main Street, making it a perfect spot for a birthday celebration or a night out with friends. The pistachio cake is a must-try dessert, considered the best cake by many visitors. The food and drinks at Bistro di Bufala make it a worthwhile visit, and reservations are recommended especially on busy nights. Despite some service issues, the cozy atmosphere and tasty meals provide a satisfying experience.
