18 Best Italian Restaurants near Hamburg

“My wife and I had one of the best dining experiences ever last night. We’ve been to Lucia’s previously and if you’re not aware, it’s best to make reservations well in advance when you want to go. Anticipating our 32nd wedding anniversary, we tried to make reservations weeks in advance but nothing was available on Open Table however the stars aligned yesterday afternoon! Thankfully, we selected the notify me option and a spot opened last night!! When we checked in, we were warmly greeted by Jill with Happy Anniversary”! We arrived early to enjoy a cocktail at the outside bar. My wife had a lemon martini followed by a French 75. I had an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. All perfectly crafted by highly attentive bar tenders. When we went to our table, not only did the person who seated us but the busser & server all acknowledged it was our anniversary! For dinner, we had crab risotto and lobster ravioli, both topped with an 8 oz perfectly grilled filet. An abundance of crab and lobster meat on both dishes. Thomas, our server, was extremely articulate, highly knowledgeable of each dish, their preparation and made excellent suggestions. He made the evening a delight! Lastly, we had creme brûlée for dessert! I can’t say enough, Lucia’s is a first class dining experience, top to bottom!! Kudos to the entire staff!!“

“Outstanding - everything from the drinks to the service and of course the food is perfection! Hannah and Stephanie always greet us with a smile and provide the best service. The food is truly exquisite and so incredibly authentic and innovative. Our family has been several times and every dish is better than the next!“

“Last night was our first time visiting the restaurant and it definitely will not be the last! My husband and I had heard about the meatballs on The Food Network and we had to try it as an appetizer. It was fantastic! My eggplant panino was out of this world delicious, absolutely the best I have ever eaten!! Large portions, delicious from start to finish! Definitely recommend!“

“Consistently delicious, great service. Friendly staff, owner always greets tables. Great value.“

“Food was delicious and service was great. Reasonably priced and good portions. Would definitely recommend.“

“Great food (I won't shut up about their pizza), great service (everyone is so nice and just want you to eat well)! The prices are so friendly to one's wallet, especially when factoring in how GOOD the food is! Each bite of the various food I'd gotten here had me thinking "This would be $x more somewhere else." Highly recommended. Definitely taking my little family here next time we're in Buffalo!“

“Went for dinner tonight and it was amazing. From the service to the food, 100% outstanding! Will be back very soon!“

“We ordered through GrubHub last night. Incredibly good food and the portion sizes are unreal. We did the BOGO deal with Fettuccini Tenderloin. Side salad, garlic bread, etc. We had a problem with the system, so I called for clarification. Whoever the gentleman was the answered last night (3/6/26 around 5:45pm) was awesome to deal with and very friendly. We’ll definitely order from here again and hopefully dine in soon, too. 🍝“

“Gary is an amazing man and takes pride in his food. This place holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. Thank you Gary for keeping this South Buffalo gem alive and unique!“

“We love the chicken bacon ranch and the Italian rainbow pizza. Highly recommend!“

“Recently had a family dinner here. The service from Courtney truly was some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life. She was always ready with refills on soup, salad, and breadsticks. Drinks were always full. She was incredibly friendly and made the dinner feel special with my 91 year old grandma with us. Would come back to this location based on her service alone.“

“Pizza is great, antipasto is very friendly sized and lots of stuff they put in it good chicken wings to boot. Never got to the entrees doubt they were bad. Found out today they’re closing absolutely breaks my heart must have ordered from them 5-10 times absolutely sucks since I’m now 5 mins around the corner from them. Good job on running a great business my heart breaks for you guys good luck on your next adventure!“

“Always such a great time!!“

“Went there for the first time and all of us had the fish fry dinner. It was all perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. We will definitely be back another time to try the pizza and wings.“

“Everything! Staff was kind! Food was amazing, the other restaurant guests were so nice and welcoming to a family with 4 adults, 5 kids ages ranging from 1-5! Definitely will go back!!“

“The service is always friendly. It’s a family owned place, true to the Buffalo roots. Great homemade blue cheese and the slices are huge. I work around the corner and they’ve always treated me well, never a bad experience. Prices are reasonable and I’ll be honest- they deserve your business.“

“I slept on this place for years after I actually tried them last year realized what I was missing if you haven't had ferris what you waiting for?!?!“

“Excelente servicio, muy buena comida.“
