“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.“

“Every entree was top notch and absolutely beautiful! Service was superb which truly adds the experience to the next level and very pleasant! We ordered the sausage pizza and they were so accommodating to add mushrooms as requested with fresh arugula too!! The tiramisu was amazing and we loved tasting the rum from the lady fingers, truly authentic recipe, not too sweet, just perfect!! The meatballs, salads, and ohh my!! The calamari was my best ever compared to many other I had this one is exceptional!!“

“This is definitely sunday's sauce style Italian restaurant. It's not my personal favorite, but it is a buffalo institution for a reason. A little sad that they're not open on Sundays. I've never left here unsatisfied though.“

“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.“

“The food was awesome; you can tell a great chef starts with the best ingredients. First, the bread and focaccia were perfectly “croccante.” The tuna carpaccio and branzino were delicate and flavorful, and the sides of Utica greens and potatoes were also better accompaniments than you can get anywhere. All of the staff including Mike our waiter especially, were great. Grazie!“

“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!“

“Just amazing! Homemade sausage, homemade gnocci . Fabulous polenta and the most absolute best sauce anywhere. This place with transport you to a family restaurant in the Italian country side. The owner is a warm lovely host who totally enjoys his guests and has a kind word for each one.“

“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!“

“Sinatra's is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Western New York. The food is consistently outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and comfortable. Every meal I've had here has been memorable, and it's one of the few places I recommend without hesitation. Whether it's a special occasion or just a great night out, Sinatra's never disappoints. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!“

“We recently closed the space for several hours for a private party. Everyone was more than accommodating and all of our guests raved about the food, service and atmosphere!!! We could not have been happier with all of the above!“

“Good food and very good service.“

“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.“

“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“

“Foods was delicious! Friendly people.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Awesome food, great service..“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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! 🌷“

“Great service and delicious food.“

“Had a fabulous dinner last night with my husband. He had the pollo parmigiana, I opted for the gnocchi. We shared the il pane and skipped appetizers for the dessert. Tiramisu. But the star of the night was the Amarone!!!! Oh my I have to find out what it was. I ordered 2 glasses. Service was great and the atmosphere is special. Next time I’m reserving the table for two with the curtains.“

“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!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Olive Garden in Niagara Falls! The menu had so many great options, and the Tour of Italy was absolutely delicious. The portion is very generous—easily enough for two people if you’re used to European-sized portions!

The sirloin steak was also very good. We had the crispy shrimp as a starter, and it was amazing. And we have to mention the breadsticks they brought to the table—they were so good!

The atmosphere was warm and cozy, which made the whole experience even better. The staff were very welcoming and hospitable. Great food, generous portions, and a lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our evening here!“

“Flavor, presentation, service, ambience were all exceĺlent. They tend to the little touches that made dining there a great experience.“

“Everytime I am in the area I make sure I stop. Pizza is always Delicious and amazing. Last time I had a steak n cheese sub delicious of course. ! This is my go to spot !“

“excellent pizza and lasagna!“

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