Really was hoping to love it here. I’ll start with the positives, service was good, atmosphere was decent, portion sizes were large. With that said, all 4 different dishes we had were relatively bland. The red sauce was not great. It was dark red, overly thick and tasted like straight tomato paste. The prices were a bit high which would have been fine if the quality was on par which it was not. We would not go back unfortunately.

Food was delicious. Nice menu with some different options. The dining room was not busy so we did not have a wait. The bus boy was very nice and polite and helpful. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. The only negative was the noise from the bar permeated through the dining room.

My husband and I decided to get Italian one random night and found DiVitos. We did a to go order and it was absolutely amazing. Upon walking into the restaurant to pick up the food, the owner introduced himself and made him feel right at home. Absolutely will dine in next time. Everything was phenomenal, the portions were large, absolute 10/10 and we will be back!

We’ve been fans of naked city pizza next door for a while, getting take out, but finally came in for a sit down dinner for my son’s birthday. We got him a whole cheese pizza from next door and I had the ravioli and meatballs. Look at my last name. I don’t go out to eat Italian because nothing will ever live up to my nanas sauce. This. This was so good. I can’t say it was better but... it might have been 😂 causal and reasonably priced too. We were very happy with everything and will be returning.

Love Divito's! We often walk over from our house, and it's always a great experience. The owners are fabulous people, and the vibe is perfect -- casual sports bar feel up front that's welcoming and friendly, yet still upscale enough for a nice meal at the tables with full service.
They have something for everyone on the menu, and you can even order from Naked City Pizza next door! Drinks are great, servers are always friendly, and the space is versatile -- large rooms for party rentals, formal dining, or just a casual night out.
Not flashy, just perfect. Always doing new renovations and updates. Highly recommend!
My recommendation: arancini balls and chicken parm sandwich which comes on delicious focaccia bread

Great spot, brought my family in from out of town Wednesday night and was welcomed even though we didn’t have a reservation. Food was amazing , we enjoyed the pizza and wings .Our waitress did a great job, was very friendly and offered some great suggestions that we all enjoyed. My in-laws really enjoyed the dining area and having the option to sit at the round tables big enough for our family. We will definitely be back!

How it is Liz
We went to Devitos in Kenmore to celebrate my mom’s birthday and had a reservation. When we arrived, there were only high-top tables available, which wasn’t ideal for us. We ended up waiting close to 45 minutes to be seated at a lower, more comfortable table due to a birthday party being held in their private dining room.
That said, the hostess went above and beyond to make up for the inconvenience. She was incredibly apologetic and even offered us complimentary cocktails, which we really appreciated.
Once we were seated, the experience improved significantly. The food was good and came out quickly and the portion sizes were very generous.
My only point of confusion was with the signage. The outside still says Fanara’s, which was the previous restaurant in that location. There’s no mention of Devitos on the door only on the menus. Because of this, we drove past it initially, and while we waited outside, we noticed other people seemed confused as well. It would make a big difference if there was at least a temporary sign or decal that clearly said “Devito's.”
Overall, we had a nice meal and excellent service. You could tell the staff really cared and wanted us to have an enjoyable visit

The French onion soup will make you drop to your knees best I've ever had!
Enjoyed the food. Onion soup could have used more cheese. Service little slow but server was friendly. Restaurant was loud.

I gave 3 stars for food because I ordered my burger MR but got MW. The fries were good, the burger had good flavor it just wasn’t cooked to my liking. The 2 people with me both enjoyed their meals, one had steak the other had a burger also (but she gets them well done) the atmosphere is fine, was a little loud in the front room the back room might be quieter? I would go again to give them another try. I forgot to take pics!

We had the best food for dinner the other night! We haven’t enjoyed a restaurant like this in a while. There’s a cozy atmosphere and the staff are friendly and very welcoming. It just feels very comfortable to be there. I had the lasagna and it’s probably the best restaurant lasagna I’ve ever had in my life. The sauce tastes homemade and you can tell the ingredients are high-quality. My boyfriend had the spare rib in the stroganoff sauce over pasta. It was unbelievably amazing! The spare rib pasta alone should earn DiVito’s a spot on Buffalo’s top restaurants list! We shared some of the stuffed banana peppers, which we loved. We heard the arancini was especially good and we were blown away. To top to off, the wine list is both affordable and good. I want to go again and have the same exact meal, although I also want to try everything else on the menu. I am so glad we found this sweet little spot and I will be recommending DiVito’s to everyone i know!
