“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 LOVE IT HERE! ❤️ One of my favorite restaurants - hands down. Staff are SO nice and friendly and everything I’ve tried is very good. Please come try it! (I ask for extra parm and they DELIVER)“

“Definitely recommend! Had a baby shower for my daughter in law this past weekend at My Tomato Pie. We corresponded with Tony on the banquet plans. Great communication, quick replies, very easy to deal with. Beautiful and well lit banquet room. Banquet server was right there for anything we needed. Everyone complimented the food. I wish I had more time to go back for seconds. Our banquet server was Rachel. I was surprised to see 1 server for a 35 person banquet but she was ahead of the game the whole time. We had everything we needed when we needed it. Very affordable too!“

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

“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! ❤️“

“We go to many olive garden franchises as we go around road traveling. Live in MA and had a road trip to the Niagara Falls with the family, stopped by after a long day and we had an amazing experience.
Had to review this place for the best one we’ve been to so far. Our doggy was welcomed and greeted by the crew, food was the delicious and came out all so fast we were surprised, our bellies were happy on the way out. Thank you so much Amanda! :)“

“Best Pizza in the area. Tastes like the way I remember pizza to tast.“

“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“

“Great food. Good portions“

“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!“

“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. 🍝“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Wednesday chicken parm night is incredibly priced and we even get some to take home. We have had so many great memories but our last visit last week was outstanding. McKenna was super friendly and was a beautiful hostess who was above and beyond accommodating for our large party walk in party. She encouraged that we had a drink at the bar. There is a limited liquor selection but the bartender Damen gave some great recommendations for a full draft beer list. Zac was our sever he was warm and accommodating and has a hilarious personality. Our group was a handful and he handled us well. Highly recommend not missing out on this hidden gem.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Best pizza around! Quality is always consistent.“

“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!“

“I ordered a fish fry thru Uber Eats, and when the food arrived on my front porch half of it was hanging out of the box. I contacted the restaurant after Uber Eats refused to refund my money even with clear photos of the unsanitary issue and Jina at the restaurant had a whole new meal delivered to me within an hour! She turned a bad experience into a better one and fixed my issue immediately! Thank you Jina!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great food decent prices nice staff great atmosphere 4 12 stars“

“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.“

“Amazing food and wonderful service!!!“

“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!“

“Canadians visiting for an event at the keybank center our kids wanted to visit Olive Garden because they had seen it on IG so as parents we indulged for our nostalgia... and we were NOT disappointed! The staff here are fantastic. Shout out to Skye, she was fantastic! Quick service, food was great, big portions. The never ending salad and breadsticks was just as we remembered, and we had the chicken parm and chicken alfredo. Cool little electronic machines at each table to order, play games on and pay for your order was a surprise tech that we enjoyed! We will most definitely be back!“
