Amazing from start to finish. Great service, great recommendations, great food. Overall lovely and delicious night. They even made me an affogato despite it not technically being on the menu. 10/10.

Fabulous!

Very friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Service was excellent including valet. The food was fantastic. Salad of the day, a burata caprese salad, spinach gnocchi, continental pasta, and a shared side of wild mushrooms. All delicious and portioned just right to have room for cappuccino, amaro, baby goat's cheese cheesecake, and triple chocolate cake. Clearly a restaurant that respects itself but doesn't put on airs. Cannot recommend enough.

Absolutely amazing experience. The decor has such a beautiful history, everyone there is friendly and welcoming, and our meal was so special and prepared with precision and love!
Ray Katta
Very nice atmosphere. Classy appearing, helpful, pleasant staff. My food was too salty. Very expensive but otherwise a nice experience.

I dined here on the evening of June 6, 2025 and was so happy that I did! My friend Laura and I always try to check out restaurants we haven't been to before and Lombardo's was one of them! We sat at the bar and were met by Delaney who was WONDERFUL! She greeted us with a charming smile, had a great sense of humor, and made the most divine drinks! She made my Tito's dirty martini exactly the way I like it! Delaney also provided us her recommendations on the dinner menu and were we both pleased with our meals. I had the scallop risotto and the scallops were cooked perfectly. Adam was also amazing as he mentioned some dessert ideas too. The coconut souffle was the best dessert I've had in a long while and so happy Adam made us aware of it!
In summary - we loved the food, the dessert, but most importantly - the staff. Thank you Delaney, Adam, and team for a grand evening.

Culinary Perfection in Buffalo
Buffalo is truly privileged to have a dining establishment as exceptional as Lombardo’s. Much like the gridiron perfection we are witnessing from the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen, Lombardo’s delivers a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the realm of fine dining.
Everything about this restaurant exudes excellence—from the impeccably crafted dishes to the warm and inviting atmosphere, from the attentive service to the dedication of its ownership. Watching Tom Lombardo and his son Tommy work together this holiday season is a heartwarming sight that reflects the family values and passion behind this establishment.
Simply put, Lombardo’s is a place you shouldn’t miss. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience that defines culinary perfection.

My partner and I love coming here for special occasions. Caesar salad is a must for an appetizer. The stuffed veal chop is easily the best entree on their menu. Cocktails are always superb, we love the romantic atmosphere on the patio. Honestly anything I say about how great they are would be an understatement.

It was so easy to book a reservation and the dining experience was phenomenal. We were celebrating my mother's birthday and the server (as well as all the staff we interacted with were lovely and accommodating). I accidentally miscounted our party size while reserving and they brought us another chair without hesitation. The food was amazing. I absolutely plan on coming back and am so grateful to the wonderful people at Lombardo for making my mother's birthday so special.
Dietary restrictions: My mother has a barley allergy and they were very accommodating and answered all questions she had with knowledge and care.
Kid-friendliness: We had three children 5 and under with us - we wouldn't usually do this but it was their grandmother's birthday - and the server and staff were so sweet to them. Quickly got us boosters, made sure they had extra bread, etc. It is truly the best experience I've had at a high-end restaurant with children.

A service is outstanding everyone's so friendly. It's a lovely environment great place for a special meal. What's Caesar salad for two was magnificent. I thought the wagyu short ribs could have been a little more robust in their portion , just by a little and it would have been perfect. None of us like the desserts, they really did fall short. While the lime tart was tart and limey consistency was not good and it had another unidentifiable flavor that did not work. The fufu cake I think is what it was called was bland and dry. Someone got a decaf coffee that smelled heavenly.
