12 Best Italian Restaurants near East Aurora

“We just stopped for lunch at Mario's Bistro & Brews, our first time there. It's an unassuming little place but don't let it fool you! The nicest people and authentic, fresh Italian food made to order! I definitely recommend 'The Sunnyside', and the sweet potato fries were delicious and perfectly crispy! The chicken Florentine panini is also a winner! Stop by and support this great local business!“

“Dinner on a Saturday night for 4, glad we made reservations as it seemed to fill up fast. Service was friendly, but a bit hands off (Did not get offered any refill of water after a 1st glass). Complimentary bread service was decent and served alongside the soup/salad that was included with most entrees. Others said the house salads were quite impressive. The Rosa sauce was a highlight. Chicken and veal parms were well received, as was the eggplant. Whole group got lukewarm pasta, but luckily we had filled up by that point and just left it for a doggie bag. Tiramisu for dessert impressed the group - worth squeezing it in!“

“10/10 would recommend. Amazing food. Not one sub bar option. Everything is perfect. Great beers and wines. Very nice people working and owning the restaurant. Perfect for the casual night cap or a very nice romantic night out“

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

“Pizza was pretty good. Would be cool if the owner would pay me back the money hes owed me for 2 years“

“food was god, a little pricier than expected“

“The show was amazing, funny and emotional. I loved the show and the actors. The director (Bobby J) is an amazing host and director. While the place is a bit expensive, the show was totally worth it.“

“Ordered pizza and wings and they were phenomenal!!! The flair was outstanding!!! We ordered 3 flavors, lemon pepper Cajun, kickin bourbon bbq and mango habanero. All 3 were delicious!!! The pizza was so good too! Pepperoni, sausage and banana peppers. Definitely going back!“

“By far the best pizza in my area! They build a pie the way I remember most pizzarias did it back in the day. No frozen crust, no canned sauce, and definitely no fake cheese. Their pizza is baked well done creating a the perfect crust and the pepperoni cupped and charred just they way it should be.
Consistency is the norm at Santora's, I have never received a sub par order. The prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for and you won't be disappointed.“
