“I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!! I give it 10 ⭐️!The food was amazing, the portions huge snd everything is made from scratch. I had the Polish platter; I chose fresh Polish sausage ( no joke it went from one side of the plate to the other), sauerkraut with mushrooms, huge potato pancake, and added 2 pierogi. All delicious. The table next to us ordered the cabbage roll, you could get 2 meals out of it! Service was fast and friendly. I'll go back and try the Italian side because they make their own pasta. Go! You won't be disappointed.“

Mangia Ristorante & Caffé is an absolute gem!
From the moment you walk in, you feel that cozy, authentic Italian vibe – like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home 🇮🇹🍝

The food? Absolutely delicious!
Fresh pasta, rich sauces, and every bite bursting with real Italian flavor. You can tell it’s made with love. Definitely a place that lives up to its name — Mangia! (Eat!)

The service was warm and attentive, and the place is clean and inviting.
If you’re in the area and craving genuine Italian food, this is the spot.
I’ll 100% be coming back again!“

“Fast take out service and friendly employees. Excellent Fish Fry, Fries, side of Pasta, and other co-side items plus the Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Shrimp was excellent and two meals for meal which includes 2 pieces of bread and butter. Will come back again and recommended!“

“love your pizza wish I could have gotten a whole slice“

“I used to live near there and ate there regularly. Moved away 10 years ago, but was back in the area and had to stop in. The food is as good as it always was. Hubby had to have the fried chicken, his favorite! The food was good, the service friendly and attentive...we'll have to go back again!“

“My family and I love heading to Sweet Emilia's for delicious ice cream! And when I'm in the mood for Italian takeout, Andiamo is right next door. The other day, I ordered takeout from Andiamo, and there was a little mix-up with my order, but the manager, Dave, was fantastic! He went above and beyond to make things right and even treated us to some ice cream as a kind gesture. Big shoutout to Dave! If you find yourself in the East Amherst area, check out Andiamo for takeout, and don’t forget to stop by Sweet Emilia's for dessert! You won’t regret it!“

“Great food. Good portions“

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

“GREAT Italian Food, so many options and the fish fry is HUUUUUGE!“

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

“Good food. That’s why we went.“

“Another awesome experience, our server was Lexi and she was amazing, knew how to joke around and took our antics in stride. Extremely courteous, attentive, friendly and made our dining experience a great one. We we’re at the Transit location a month prior for a club dinner and had a great time then too. If you go and have either Lexi or Lydia as your server - just know you’re going to have a great time! They both went above and beyond. Food was good, service was incredible. Our visit was only disappointing in the fact that we had to leave. I don’t eat out often but the last 2 times I’ve chosen Olive Garden on Transit and do not regret it at all. Hopefully those servers are there the next time we go!“

“The service was top notch. From the Reservation Desk, the Maitre' D, our waiter Chris, and all the staff...just excellence in service. Food was fabulous! Cocktail and wine menu are excellent. Truly a 5 star experience! We stopped in for a one night stay at the Delavan and so happy that we chose to dine here.“

“Are waitress Lucy was fabulous. The food was delicious.“

“Outstanding from beginning to end. Best food I've ever had. Service was wonderful too. Highly recommend the short rib and calamari.“

“Spent basically my whole summer here. Love it!! Only downside is I don’t think people respect tee times and even if you’re right at your tee time there is someone sitting right behind you waiting. Maybe they need to spread out tee times a little better. As nobody likes to feel rushed or watched when trying to golf. But love the quality of the courses and usually can get in for a round any time they are rarely filled up!“

“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!“

“I'm never disappointed comming. the service there is amazing and fast. the waiters/ waitresses go above and beyond to make sure your experience is top notch. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We had our ladies golf league banquet at Rizzos on East Amherst. They did a terrific job! Discounted drinks at the bar beforehand and the service at dinner was excellent. All the dinners served to our group were prompt, hot and delicious!“

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

“Awesome Food, lousy jingle“

“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.“

“Great food decent prices nice staff great atmosphere 4 12 stars“

“My husband & I have been coming here for years. I have never been disappointed with any of the menu items. 😋 Another thing that I love is the music that is played as you’re dining. It’s pretty much 60’s love songs and it’s one of the many reasons I keep coming back.“

“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“

“A family favorite for us, whenever we are out in the Clarence area, GM is a must stop, just can't pass up the amazing service and food!“

“Thank you once again to Marcos for providing an excellent lunch to our department at Millard Fillmore Suburban Radiology!!!! Always a treat!!!“

“Once again we had an exceptional dinner at Trattoria Aroma this evening. From the warm and genuine welcome to our excellent dessert it was pure pleasure! The food is always delicious with a unique presentation and excellent prices! In the past 30 years we have always been accustomed and greeted by name by the wonderful owners and staff! Continues to be our go to favorite in Buffalo!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and wonderful service!!!“

“The food was excellent and our waitress was absolutely wonderful, friendly, attentive, and on top of everything.

However, the seating policy was a bit frustrating. My cousin called ahead to explain that she was planning a surprise 40th birthday dinner for a party of 18. My cousin confirmed with the manager that we would be seated even if the birthday girl arrived last (so the surprise wouldn’t be ruined). When we got there, the staff initially refused to seat us and the hostess said the manager said no — even though it had been pre-approved (maybe a different manager at the time of the call and didn't communicate to the next on shift or the staff?).

After a small, friendly conversation, they did go ahead and seat us (finally but too close to the birthday girl arrival), and the rest of the evening went smoothly.

Great food and service overall, but the inconsistency with the seating policy made the start of the night more stressful than it needed to be.“

“This was my first time here, and WOW! I ordered the "Chairman of the Board" and it was fantastic. The turkey was tender & juicy. The roll was super fresh. It wasn't heavy in my stomach like fried food can be. People in my group also ordered a "How-You_Doin?" sangwich and "Hey Sonny!" burger. They were both very pleased and we all agreed that we wanted to order from this restaurant again soon. My order was ready pretty fast.“

“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?!?!“

“was there for my birthday on 3/11 with my kids .we had a very nice time .“

“Tried their pizza for the first time yesterday and will definitely return again for another. It’s a family owned business that’s been around for a long time, the type I like to support. Fresh dough, a traditional pizza oven, and just the right amount of everything, prepared by hand. Also enjoyed my conversation with the polite gentleman that took my order and made the pizza. The best part is I fed my family without dirtying a plate at home for five dollars per person, with leftovers. Can’t beat that!“

“I wanted to commend the great service we received tonight at dinner. The young man working was outstanding from start to finish, even with being the only one working in the restaurant. The food was incredible as well! We definitely found our new go-to spot in the area!“

“Friendly, family-like service; amazing soup, awesome Italian food imports! <3“
