50 Best Italian Restaurants near East Amherst

“Great food. Good portions“

“We stopped in on 10/19, no reservations and were readily accommodated and seated. It was the last weekend of restaurant week and there was a special menu. We had a new server that tried so hard to do a good job and he did. The brassiole was delicious, hot, and more than ample. The drinks and the deserts were of equal quality. The maitre’d stopped by our table to welcome us and spent time with us to make sure all was fine. We look forward to our next visit!“

“Campobello’s is a perfect place for a family outing or to catch up with friends. We had the fried ravioli appetizer - it was outstanding. One of us ordered chicken parm, cheese ravioli, and a pasta dish with an oil based sauce… all wonderful. With drinks and appetizers and an awesome cannoli to finish the meal, the price felt right for the area, and service was outstanding. The new owner is friendly, and experienced in food in the WNY area!! Check this place out!!“

“We recently had Luigi’s cater a big family dinner. Working with Sara was flawless from the get-go. She was knowledgeable, helpful and made it all too easy. She showed up for delivery with a big smile, on time, and super organized. We could not have asked for a better caterer. And the food- ahhhmazing. The stuffed shells were massive, the beef delicious, and the penne alla vodka, so yummy! A new favorite dish of ours. 10/10 would book with Sara and Luigi’s again! Thank you for making our event memorable and perfect.“

“A MUST visit! This place have one of the BEST pizzas I have ever tried.
I asked for a Hawaiian pizza and was served to perfect, amazing cheese quality and sauce, perfect amount of ham and pineapple. The dough was very well cooked with the crispy around! Simply delicious!
But the One who has the final medal is the owner/chef. He was such a friendly and charismatic vibe, very respectful and servicial, he gave us tons of recommendations of what to do or where to go for Niagara Falls visit . We will definitely come back and bring more people to this amazing place. Thank you!!“

“Authentic Italian cuisine in a quiet setting. The staff and management were welcoming and helpful. The Pollo Milanese was delicious and mouth-watering. The Fetticini Bolognese was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was first-rate. There is also a fine selection of wines. It's definitely a recommended restaurant if you're looking for a pleasurable dining experience.

Parking: It's not a large lot, but it is a small venue, so parking is sufficient.“

“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“

“We had our first visit yesterday and it was EXCELLENT! The food was delicious with amazing portions. Service was great!“

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

“If you strive to support your community and patronize great family owned businesses, Morluski’s is truly the place to start! The team there is always so friendly, the food is amazing, and the unique, rustic, homey and welcoming atmosphere is just the beginning. Not only does this local Clarence Hollow restaurant serve up tasty, family recipe Polish and Italian dishes, but they also have a Cannoli that is out of this world! AND the best part of it is, this business strives to support others as well. They are very active, always working with other local businesses and community organizations to strengthen that Shop Local, and Support Small Business vision. Great job, Team Morluski’s!“

“Amazing pizza and salad bar. Friendliest staff! Love coming here!“

“I was referred by my neighbor and this was my first time trying the food. I ordered the family chicken Parm combo and raviolis. Everything was great! A lot of compliments on the sauce especially. The chicken parm was tender and very flavorful as well as the raviolis. A very nice surprise was the garlic knots, they were very good!
I’m not sure what is made in house but everything tasted like it was. I will definitely be ordering more from here.“

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

“First time having dinner here tonight for our anniversary! Everything was perfect and top notch, we really enjoyed our experience. Hats off to Gabriel for making us feel truly special tonight, he was wonderful! Looking forward to coming back again soon. Thanks again for a memorable anniversary dinner!“

“I love going to Bings although don't get to go enough. It's always so great to see Shelly always there with her awesome family always helping..The service is outstanding and the food to die for...can you tell I'm a bit of a fan of the best damn small italian restaurant in our area!! If you haven't been you will be hooked...great prices too!!!“

“Always great food and service.“

“This was my very first time here. It was a nice place and the food was delicious. I had the fish with french fries, coleslaw and macaroni salad. It was very delicious (except for the slice of bread) and it was plenty that I took half home. So if your around stop in“

“Good food. That’s why we went.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Came here for a nice dinner with my family, and it was a wonderful experience! Our server Rowlinda was absolutely fantastic and is one of the greatest servers I’ve ever had! The food was also delicious, and everything came out correct and timely!“

“5 of us had dinner Friday night. To start, our server was spectacular. I told her my son and I drink a ton of water, she was slammed busy, and we never had an empty glass. Hostess and everyone else we encountered were pleasant. Our food was very good. I had chicken Parm, 5 out of 5. Their red sauce is delicious. We all enjoyed our dinner and will be back.“

“Delicious Steak & Lobster! Beautiful Christmas decorations.. Wonderful gift shop! Hopefully tomorrow when i call they have my Christmas decoration I bought and left on counter there!!“

“Gotta give it to Pistachio’s for being one, if not, the best place to eat on campus. The pasta there is amazing, especially compared to the pastas in the dining halls. Go for their Alfredo sauce. Thing is that you gotta make sure you place your order fast before everyone else does or else you’re gonna be waiting for a while. They got good pasta after all. Problem is that, again, like almost all other CDS places, the quantity is terrible. You do not get enough for what you’re paying for.“

“All of our food was delicious. my seafood fra di avlo was super good & I had the eggplant stack appetizer it came on a salad with capers & olives with fresh mozzarella & the dressing was excellent. My Wife's food was also delicious. we can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu!!“

“Awesome Food, lousy jingle“

“Nice staff and easy location“

“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!!!“

“Vegetarian options: Josh the owner & main chef will make anything to your liking even when they are busy! His sister is one of the servers. Her name is Sam. She is wonderful! Everyone there goes out of their way to please you! It's a very comfortable & friendly place to eat at. They get the food out fast too! They really appreciate your business!

“Took a few minutes longer but soo worth it. Awesome good. Present staff!!“

“This was my first time here, and WOW! I ordered the "Chairman of the Board" and it was fantastic. The turkey was tender & juicy. The roll was super fresh. It wasn't heavy in my stomach like fried food can be. People in my group also ordered a "How-You_Doin?" sangwich and "Hey Sonny!" burger. They were both very pleased and we all agreed that we wanted to order from this restaurant again soon. My order was ready pretty fast.“
