“I wanted to go someplace different for my "Belated" Birthday Dinner and I was in the mood for Italian. I needed Pasta . So, I looked on YELP & decided on "Carrabba's". I am so glad I did !!! My son & I got there around 6pm and had about a 10-15 minute wait. There was a bar to the right & most of the dining was to the left. It was clean & had a comfortable feel inside. We were seated & I had already planned what I wanted to eat the night before, so I wouldn't take forever deciding once I got there. But first, we were served delicious, soft, warm Italian bread . It was so good. We ended up getting it 3x I believe. Our waitress's name was Ashlie S. She was great !!! Very nice, friendly, helpful, funny & very easy to talk to. I order the LINGUINE POSITANO WITH CHICKEN, I got the MAMA MANDOLA'S SICILIAN CHICKEN SOUP & the CANNOLI CAKE FOR 2 for dessert. Everything was phenomenal !! The pasta was so light but with a burst of amazing flavors ! The soup was so good & with huge pieces of chicken in it. Yummmmmmy !! The Cannoli Cake was very good & because my birthday was yesterday, Ashlie gave me a few scoops of vanilla ice cream with syrup & a little birthday candle in it. She was so sweet. Everything was just perfect ! I had an amazing experience here tonight . I found the prices to be reasonable , at least for what I got. We had quite a Long waiting time to get our food, but it was soooo worth it ! They have a special deal going on. I don't know if it's temporary or always going on, but it is a great deal. Whatever the price of something you order for in the restaurant, you take home ANYTHING for less for $10.00. No matter what the regular price. I took home another Linguine Positano,but without the chicken. So now I have an amazing lunch & dinner for tomorrow, since I didn't even finish my pasta there. We also received extra fresh bread to take home. 100% satisfaction on the trip. Also, the ladies room was very clean & smelled good. (That never happens ) I will most definitely be returning to this Carrabba's & I hope I get the wonderful Ashlie S. as my server again. She was full of life, unlike a couple others I saw that looked like they were ready for bed. lol“

“I DJ a lot of places, but this one is hands-down has got everything under control from the start of the party to the end. They did not skip a beat. Everyone was happy, a great group of people running a fantastic place to go. !!! 5 🌟“

“Delicious pasta sauce, very good service!“

“The BEST Italian food ever. I've been many, many time in the restaurant as well as caterer food for the Christmas Holidays for years and years. I wouldn't choose anywhere else. Thanks for such great service and being so friendly. Lorenzo gets an A+++“

“Highly recommended. Food was excellent , staff was nice“

“Love it here! The food is always delicious and the service is excellent.“

“We had a pretty good experience at Olive Garden overall. We started with the calamari, followed by the salad and gnocchi soup. For the mains, we had the Tour of Italy with chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo, and lasagna, as well as the shrimp and chicken carbonara.

Everything tasted good and the portions were generous. The service was extremely fast, and the customer service was stellar.

The only thing I’d say they could improve on is the pasta, it was noticeably overcooked and too soft for my liking.

The cleanliness could also use some attention. The table felt sticky, and the washroom could have been cleaner.

Overall, it was an enjoyable meal with great customer service, very fast service.“

“the good we had for dinner which was delicious.“

“First time dining at Bobby J’s and loved it!!! We will be going back!!“

“Giancarlo’s was absolutely incredible. We had our ceremony there and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about the entire experience. From the very beginning, Hannah, the event coordinator, was beyond phenomenal. She made everything feel easy, organized, and completely stress free. Every detail was handled so seamlessly and it honestly felt like she cared just as much about our day as we did. Everything went off without a hitch and that is not something you can say often when it comes to events like this. Tori, our server, was just as amazing. Attentive, kind, on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. She made sure we were taken care of every step of the way and brought such a great energy to the day. The food, the atmosphere, the service, all of it was top tier. You can tell this team takes so much pride in what they do and it shows in every single detail. They truly went above and beyond anything we expected and made our ceremony feel so special. We are so grateful we chose Giancarlo’s. If you are thinking about hosting anything here, do it. You will not regret it.“

“Today I was nearby and tried their food for the first time. The personal pizza was so delicious. Mine included red sauce, mozzarella, spinach, pepperoni, and sweet peppers. Inside the building was nice, even though I did take out instead of dining. The mens restroom was clean, and thank God they had paper towels rather than the air drying machine (for touching the door handle afterwards). There was a friendly young lady at the front register also. My only recommendation is adding basil to the pizza topping menu. I'll definitely return here regardless.“

“Great food. Good portions“

“Fast take out service and friendly employees. Excellent Fish Fry, Fries, side of Pasta, and other co-side items plus the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Shrimp was excellent and two meals for meal which includes 2 pieces of bread and butter. Will come back again and recommended!“

“I love this place. I go here all the time! Lindsay is a wizard with a scissors. Best haircut ever! ❤️“

“Went for dinner tonight and it was amazing. From the service to the food, 100% outstanding! Will be back very soon!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Ate dinner for the first time here yesterday and the food was excellent. Ordered the calamari appetizer and it was light and flaky, honestly probably the best I’ve ever had. The bolognese was very tasty as well and our server Jennifer was great. We will be back.“

“love your pizza wish I could have gotten a whole slice“

“Best pizza around! Quality is always consistent.“

“We ordered through GrubHub last night. Incredibly good food and the portion sizes are unreal. We did the BOGO deal with Fettuccini Tenderloin. Side salad, garlic bread, etc. We had a problem with the system, so I called for clarification. Whoever the gentleman was the answered last night (3/6/26 around 5:45pm) was awesome to deal with and very friendly. We’ll definitely order from here again and hopefully dine in soon, too. 🍝“

“We ordered a turkey sub with some substitutions from the normal turkey sub combination. That sub was OUTSTANDING, and my husband said it was the best sub he's ever had. We also ordered a large pizza with specific instructions, which was done perfectly! Very pleased with our order and highly recommend Lunetta's to everyone.“

“Thank you once again to Marcos for providing an excellent lunch to our department at Millard Fillmore Suburban Radiology!!!! Always a treat!!!“

“Always such a great time!!“

“My family and I love heading to Sweet Emilia's for delicious ice cream! And when I'm in the mood for Italian takeout, Andiamo is right next door. The other day, I ordered takeout from Andiamo, and there was a little mix-up with my order, but the manager, Dave, was fantastic! He went above and beyond to make things right and even treated us to some ice cream as a kind gesture. Big shoutout to Dave! If you find yourself in the East Amherst area, check out Andiamo for takeout, and don’t forget to stop by Sweet Emilia's for dessert! You won’t regret it!“

“Everything is amazing!!!!!“

“GREAT Italian Food, so many options and the fish fry is HUUUUUGE!“

“Another awesome experience, our server was Lexi and she was amazing, knew how to joke around and took our antics in stride. Extremely courteous, attentive, friendly and made our dining experience a great one. We we’re at the Transit location a month prior for a club dinner and had a great time then too. If you go and have either Lexi or Lydia as your server - just know you’re going to have a great time! They both went above and beyond. Food was good, service was incredible. Our visit was only disappointing in the fact that we had to leave. I don’t eat out often but the last 2 times I’ve chosen Olive Garden on Transit and do not regret it at all. Hopefully those servers are there the next time we go!“

“We love the chicken bacon ranch and the Italian rainbow pizza. Highly recommend!“

“Went there for the first time and all of us had the fish fry dinner. It was all perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We will definitely be back another time to try the pizza and wings.“

“I'm never disappointed comming. the service there is amazing and fast. the waiters/ waitresses go above and beyond to make sure your experience is top notch. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Gary is an amazing man and takes pride in his food. This place holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. Thank you Gary for keeping this South Buffalo gem alive and unique!“

“The service was top notch. From the Reservation Desk, the Maitre' D, our waiter Chris, and all the staff...just excellence in service. Food was fabulous! Cocktail and wine menu are excellent. Truly a 5 star experience! We stopped in for a one night stay at the Delavan and so happy that we chose to dine here.“

“Once again we had an exceptional dinner at Trattoria Aroma this evening. From the warm and genuine welcome to our excellent dessert it was pure pleasure! The food is always delicious with a unique presentation and excellent prices! In the past 30 years we have always been accustomed and greeted by name by the wonderful owners and staff! Continues to be our go to favorite in Buffalo!“

“This place is amazing! They are friendly, accommodating and serve high quality food. I’ve only ordered take out, as it’s a favorite spot to grab lunch for meetings at work, but I bet they’re service is just as great at the restaurant.“

“My husband & I have been coming here for years. I have never been disappointed with any of the menu items. 😋 Another thing that I love is the music that is played as you’re dining. It’s pretty much 60’s love songs and it’s one of the many reasons I keep coming back.“

“By far the best place to get food on campus, if you love pasta and paninis go here. It's a good option for choosing between healthy or unhealthy food depending on what you create. Ordering is only done through the mobile GET app no other way to get food. Ordering here can be hard, must order during 15 minute interval times. For example if it's 1:26pm the next time they start a new ordering interval is 1:30pm then 1:45pm. People love this place so plan ahead. Paninis are good too for more of the unhealthy options.“

“Awesome Food, lousy jingle“

“Amazing food and wonderful service!!!“

“Went for the Brew Crew dinner….the food and beer pairings were perfect. The owner of Buffalo Brewing, Tom was informative and funny. The executive chef, Scott did an excellent job of preparing the different courses. The service was marvelous! I will definitely do this again!.“

“I wanted to commend the great service we received tonight at dinner. The young man working was outstanding from start to finish, even with being the only one working in the restaurant. The food was incredible as well! We definitely found our new go-to spot in the area!“

“We stopped in for some pizza and subs after Niagara falls and it was absolutely delicious! It was definitely nice to get away from the falls to get some more reasonable prices! We had excellent service, kids said it was the best cheese pizza ever! We also had the chicken tender sub with blue cheese it was on point! It was easy to see why this place has been around since 1982! Family owned business with multiple locations in the area! We all need to be supporting these local small businesses that our family owned and operated! McKenzie family approved!!!“

“Outstanding Experience!
This was our first visit and it was truly outstanding!. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice decor. Immediately fresh bread was placed on the table. Our servers Samantha & Lizzie were fantastic!!
ALL food was perfectly prepared & delicious.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!“

“The service is always friendly. It’s a family owned place, true to the Buffalo roots. Great homemade blue cheese and the slices are huge. I work around the corner and they’ve always treated me well, never a bad experience. Prices are reasonable and I’ll be honest- they deserve your business.“

“Friendly, family-like service; amazing soup, awesome Italian food imports! <3“
