“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.“

“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.“

“Great food , Ariel the waitress and the rest of the staff were awesome on top of table cleansliness, an services was impeccable this place I would recommend for everyone I’ve been to over 500 plus different restaurants from here to nyc I’m glad I finally walked in totally recommend it for any occasion“

“A true hidden gem, 10/10, no hesitation. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant speaks to you. The walls are lined with history, and the warm, character-filled decor makes you feel instantly at home.
Felix sets the tone for everything. He welcomes every guest with a genuine smile, visits each table personally, and makes you feel like family. His passion is infectious and felt in every detail.
Now to the food: homemade, fresh, and made with carefully sourced ingredients. Everything was exceptional, but thr coffee and desserts were the highlight. I was convinced I had no room left, until Felix said they had something I'd love: the Cannoli. Quite simply the best I've ever had. My husband's homemade Tiramisu was equally unforgettable. Do not skip dessert here.

One practical note: cash only, but there's an ATM on-site.“

“Service was excellent (thank you David) Food and excellent, the bartenders were excellent. 10 out of 10“

“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 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.“

“A staple in Black Rock! 🥰🥰 great fish!“

“There aren’t many places left in Buffalo that can take you over 40 years back in time, to when the Italian Festival was on Connecticut Street.

I had to be under 10 the last time i was here , and every single year—like clockwork—one day during the festival it would suddenly rain like crazy. Everyone would scatter, looking for cover. We always ran into this place — a bar/restaurant packed wall to wall with people soaked, drinking beer… me standing there drinking my 25¢ Coke, waiting for the rain to stop so I could get back out to the fun.

Fast forward all these years later…
I found out they’re still open — and walking in felt like stepping into that exact moment. It looks almost exactly the same as it did back then.

I stopped in today and had what might still be the best Italian stuffed shells I’ve ever had. One employee ( named Rosie ) No frills. Just real, historic Italian food and a place that somehow escaped time.

If you’re looking for a true Buffalo throwback, do yourself a favor and check out The Armory Restaurant for lunch, And while you’re there, say hello to Rosie for me ❤️🍝“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I had a truly wonderful dining experience at the Rainbow Room, and I would like to give special recognition to Pamela for his exceptional service. From the moment we were seated, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. His professionalism, knowledge of the menu, and calm, welcoming presence made our evening truly special.

Zlatko went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and his positive energy added greatly to the overall experience. Service like his leaves a lasting impression and truly reflects the high standard of the Rainbow Room.

Thank you, Pamela for making our visit so memorable.“

“We’d gone to Olive Garden for my birthday lunch. Enjoyed the experience. The Shrimp Fritto Misto is to die for, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We had the Fettucine Alfredo with broccoli, Herb-Grilled Salmon, both of which were good. Portions were generous. Overall loved it.“
