A Buffalo must! Classic Italian restaurant 102 years old. BEST Ceasar salad I have ever eaten.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Buffalo Classic That Lives Up to the Hype!
We had an incredible meal at Chef’s in Buffalo, NY, and it absolutely lived up to its legendary reputation. The spaghetti parm with meatball was out of this world—perfectly cooked pasta smothered in gooey, melted cheese and topped with a rich, flavorful meatball. We also tried the sandwich parm, and it was just as delicious—crispy, hearty, and smothered in that unforgettable red sauce.
Speaking of the sauce—it was the real star of the show. Bold, savory, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. You can tell it’s a family recipe perfected over generations. The portions were generous, the service warm and welcoming, and the old-school Italian-American vibe made the experience even better.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Chef’s is a must-stop. You won’t be disappointed!

I relocated to Buffalo about a year ago and this place has become one of my favorite for sure. Portions are great, flavor is really good and prices are decent plus service is always great as well. Definitely worth going and also taking food to go or frozen meal (taste just the same as the real thing served on the spot).

This place is an establishment. Portions are large. Walls are full of history, and the free bread and seasoned oil is literaly so good I’d solely come back for. Don’t expect to finish ur spaghetti tho. Also I had the gluten free and it was delish and u would never know!

Awesome food, fantastic service, and an exceptional atmosphere. This is a great place for a great dinner with friends, family, or that someone special
Had dinner there last night and the food and service was amazing! Jill was our server and she was awesome! We had the chicken parm and spaghetti parm. It was my first time there and the food was delicious. Be warned- the spaghetti parm has about 10 pounds of cheese on it so if you aren’t big on cheese I would skip that entree. I would return back

Pictures and reviews does no justice for what you get. I wished I lived closer because I’d eat here at least every week.
Believe the hype... soooo good. Had the french onion soup.. sooo good, great flavor. Then had the ravioli, sauce was great and the cheese ravioli was great. My dad had the spaghetti parmigiana.. sooooo good!!! Had the orange sherbet with vanilla half and half, reminded me of an orange Creamsicle.
