50 Best Italian Restaurants near Grand Island

“Just had the most delish chicken finger wrap 🥰👍. I thought they were just pizza but they have much more! Next visit is chicken/bacon ranch wrap“

“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.“

“We always have a great experience here. The place is cozy and comfortable, everyone is welcoming and the food is excellent. Had New Year’s Eve dinner and the specials were amazing, especially the grouper dish. One of our go to places!“

“If you're looking for out of this world home-made pasta with executive chef top-tier flavours, skip the line cook garbage and come to Napoli. Keep in mind, you were getting homemade fresh dishes, so expect to wait a little and be patient for the quality. For those looking for snappy, fast, parboiled, premade, crap, then go to East side Mario's. We've read a lot of the complaining over Google reviews, but we also heard about the standards in which this restaurant operates. I can tell you firsthand, don't let people‘s personal feelings interfere with the quality dish that you're going to experience here. The bill can be as high as you'd like it to be, but don't expect a cheap walk if you're not looking for cheap food. My white and I came here on a date night, put money aside for the most fantastic Italian dinner we've ever had, and it was well worth the $275 plus a well earned $50 tip. If you're feeling classy, this is definitely the place to come. My wife and I will be doing date night here again.“

“If you’re looking for a great fine dining experience, then look no further than Angeline. I suggest you make reservations because this restaurant gets pretty full really quick. When making your reservations, you can choose from three seating options. The dining room, patio and I believe there’s an upstairs option as well. When it came to the service, I must say Ariel was amazing. Her essence was so pleasant and she gave really good recommendations. Ariel is definitely the standard, that every server should strive to be like.

Shrimp scampi special- This isn’t your typical scampi. This entree came in a spicy garlicky sauce with noodles. I know this is a fine dining restaurant, but the sauce was so good. Your making life decisions on do you act unrefined and dip your bread in it sauce. Or you just take that dish home to act a fool in privacy.

Fritto misto special- tasty assortment of tempura fried shrimp, calamari, scallops, and mixed vegetables.

Filet mignon- cook perfectly and the prosciutto was an interesting addition. I would definitely choose this dish again.

Roasted mushrooms- a must add especially if your having any of the steak entrees

Tiramisu- delicious.. it’s as simple as that

Cheesecake- really refreshing and light..“

“This is traditional contadina food, just like back in Abruzzo Italy if you don't like this type of food then don't go but trust me it's worth going once in our guarantee you'll be back I've been a few times and I love it and I keep going friends family in my wife Feliciano is a very nice person full of heart joy and happiness and he'll even sit with you and chat which is very good and just talk about anything thanks for everything I definitely recommend this place for either breakfast or lunch as they close at 2:00 p.m. but if you walked in at 1:30 he'll stay open past that just to make you happy lol. forza Abruzzo forza introdaqua.“

“Amazing visit before football game. Atmosphere is top notch, vintage Italian eatery. Food was filling, tasty, and well made. The staff were so friendly and helpful. If I pass through this way again, it'll definitely be a stop for nourishment.“

“The food was The bomb, the drinks was the bomb, the waitress was the bomb !!“

“The food was incredible. Our service was impeccable! Highly recommend this lovely place that offers fresh & unique food pairings that completely satisfy!“

“Had dinner this evening for my wife's birthday. Her filet mignon was awesome and my veal ossobuco was even better. Food, atmosphere, service, Amici's has it all covered.“

“Sinatras was amazing. Very accommodating as we had an extra person come with us. The hostess made this happen.

Emily our waitress was sweet, friendly, professional, wonderful. 1 person in our party had allergies and Emily took great care of her needs.

The food was delicious. We were celebrating multiple birthdays and they brought our desserts out with candles and took a picture.

The entire evening was amazing. Would recommend Sinatras hands down. Go to this restaurant. Definitely worth it. Will be back!“

“What a great restaurant!! The food was phenomenal! I had my birthday dinner at Bella Ciao and I was very impressed. The Lobster Mafalde was loaded with lobster and so delicious. The Rice Balls were out of this world. The Peanut Butter pie was the best I ever had. Also, Casey, the Manager was so accommodating and personable. She just couldn't do enough for us. I just can't wait to go back!! (I am still thinking about the Three Cheese Garlic Bread) The BEST!“

“We were recommended to stop in on our way to Niagara Falls and the food did not disappoint! It was delicious!“

“as it always is the food was excellent. the service however, could have been much better. definitely not the quality of service I am used to here. When one asks to have two special desserts set aside as soon as they come in at 3:30 and find out an hour and a half later that there is no dessert that was set aside, it's disappointing. It would help if the server was paying attention. It took three trips to get the salad order, correct.“

“AMAZING FOOD & friendly staff! Visited for our anniversary & tried many local restaurants during the weekend. This by far had the BEST FOOD & CUSTOMER SERVICE! Drinks were amazing, super clean & fast service! We tried all appetizers and had nothing bad to say about any of it. I’m not a buffalo wing person but they were INCREDIBLE!! Breakfast buffet is amazing as well! Would give 10/5 stars if I could! You NEED to stop here if you’re visiting Niagara Falls!!!“

“getting the craving for the best pizza in the Falls“

“Delicious food, Enjoyed the turkey dinner for thanksgiving. Service was elegant, professional and classy. Food was tender, well cooked and delicious. So sad to hear they may be closing! Absolutely wonderful“

“Awesome food, great service..“

“Had the best dinner out in a very long time. Sea Bass special. Not sure I would have ordered it if the dish was written out. Too many things added in that I ultimately didn't know what they were. Not a big pesto fan and the dish came in a bath of creamy green with an odd looking chutney of sorts on top. The green was a fantastic pesto tinged super flavorful sauce and the topping was a grand mix of sweet, savory and nut crunch, a fantastic meal.“

“Osteria 166!! Absolutely the best food in Buffalo and our favorite hands down Italian restaurant with the best meatballs I ever had besides my grandma's, that I haven't had since she passed, so these are now the best I can get. The menu is great with something for everyone and whatever you're in the mood for from flatbread pizza to homemade pasta with the most amazing sauces, delicious salads, fantastic steak and the freshest Italian desserts. if you can save room. We have to get them to go home. It's so hard to decide that we get several things and go family style sharing and going around the menu. bravo Nani in the meatballs! they are a must! great friendly service and beautiful atmosphere. sometimes the acoustic music in the bar. what a gem we love walking distance to the theater district, we try to go before shows and park and enjoy the evening starting with the best meal and drinks before a show downtown. Don't think twice about trying this place! make reservations.“

“AMAZING authentic Italian cuisine!! Recommend 100%. Owner and staff were wonderful.“

“Will the bistro be open on Sundays this season?? Such a mistake being closed on sheas Sundays!!“

“Just left a glowing 5-star review based on JT's pizza. However, JT's wings and blue-cheese dipping sauce were so good, they compeled their own review. Our first Buffalo-destination in July 2025 was a "bar" known for their creation of Buffalo-wings. When we return in July 2026, JT's will be our first Buffalo-destination for wings. Large fully-cooked chicken wing drumettes and flats. The size required 4-5 adult mouth-fulls to get to the bare-bones. Scrumptious, tender, moist chicken meat inside a crispy outer covering, hand shaken in unique inspired sauces. Perfection defined for Buffalo-wings. JT's is a must for those who appreciate the best Buffalo-wing experience. Try them once, you will not find their equal in Buffalo ( or any other place ). LMAO! The JT's wings experience ruined our desire for wings anywhere else. Just saying, save your Buffalo-wing cravings for a visit to JT's.“

“One of the best pizza and Italian food experience.“

“Everything here is great, EVERYTHING! My favorite pizza, fantastic wings, great fish fry, top-notch crew - ALL good.“

“Great service and delicious food.“

“By far the best sauce we have had in years!!! We pre-ordered, it was ready on time and very fresh!! We will see you again soon! 🌷“

“What a great place! Friendly staff , great food. They go above and beyond.“

“My wife and I both enjoyed the Lumberjack breakfast and friendly wait staff we experienced during a recent trip to Niagara. restaurant“

“We were staying at the Sheraton but decided to come to The Brock for breakfast, thinking it would be a more relaxing and quieter experience. So happy we did! The restaurant is beautiful and classy, with gorgeous views of both falls. The ambiance and crowd here were much calmer and we didn’t get rushed out. The buffet has standard breakfast fare, as well as an omelet station and Belgian waffles.

Pamela, our server, came over frequently to fill our coffee and check if our kids needed anything. She even grabbed syrup from the buffet for us so we didn’t have to get up again. Great service and ambiance here!“

“Due to Covid restrictions Jovi's hadn't been opened for awhile. Went on a Friday night. The restaurant was at 50% capacity and every table was full. They have changed their menu, which I found very interesting. I ordered the special of shrimp and lemon ricotta pasta with tomatoes and red peppers $23. I asked for it to be served without tomatoes. When the server brought my food which seemed to take awhile, she said "oh, I forgot no tomatoes." There weren't any red peppers but a boat load of tomatoes. I didn't want to wait for my food while the other guests were eating so as to why I didn't send it back. The 4 pieces of shrimp still had the tails on which I thought was odd in a pasta dish, but the pasta was very good. It seems that Jovi's is working out some issues after being closed due to the covid restrictions. I'll probably give them another chance, hope they're able to get their flow going again.“

“This was our first time trying Tappo’s for our anniversary last night and the food and service was amazing. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Was at zappis on Saturday September 6th with my husband and son. My husband and I eat at zappi's every March and October as we run a marriage program and usually have 10 people at dinner and have never had an issue with food or service. Yesterday however service was great but when I received my calzone, it had red peppers in it which I didn't order. So the waitress took it back and had another one made for me and gave me 50% off. I did order another one for takeout and as I went to eat it today for dinner, It has green mushrooms in it, which I cannot eat as it affects my stomach. I was so looking forward to my calzone and now I am disappointed I cannot eat it.“

“Great Pizza and Wings! DJ Trivia on Thursdays is an absolute Blast!“

“Visited here on monday night and had such a great experience! We came here after leaving Victtorio’s downstairs due to no one coming to our table for over 15 minutes in with only 2 other tables occupied so we left and I’m so glad we did because our experience here was so much better.

Our waiter was Hitesh and he was so personable and friendly. He made the whole night. The atmosphere in there was so calm and just made for an overall great meal.

We had the bread, Cesar salad, and chicken parm (ignore my obnoxious amount of Parmesan on top) All were delicious. The crem brule for dessert was perfect for sharing. I would come back here every time!“

“excellent pizza and lasagna!“

“We had a bad experience with the quality of food awhile back but so glad that didn’t deter us from trying again. The food has always been amazing since then. Big portions. The customer service is always good. They make you feel welcomed and so appreciative of your business. They are always our “go to” for pizza and wings. I highly recommend their place for excellent food and atmosphere.“

“I've always loved olive garden, the entire place being nearly empty was certainly a surprise, but a good one nonetheless. Food was incredible! Thank God im not lactose intolerant lol
The servers were very polite. Would Come again for sure!“
