“We had the gelato cart come to our wedding! It was such a fun treat. Our guests absolutely loved it! The gelato is absolutely delicious and perfect for cooling off from our dance floor! Frankie is such a great human, and we were so happy to have him there!“

“The taco salads are great, with lots of meat and cheese and everything else. Enough to bring home and make 2 salads from it. The prices are really good and given the portions of everything well worth it. The only draw back is they close earlier then most places, usually 7:pm or 8:pm.“

“Ordered a bunch of food through Doordash to try something new. I got the Bavarian pretzel logs with cheese, the cheese logs, the mashed potato bites, the Delmonico steak sandwich with tomatoes and onions, and zeppole. Everything was really great! I wasn't expecting much because everything was pretty cheap, but the food arrived hot and fresh. The steak on the sandwich was cooked perfectly rare, and the cheese logs were crispy and thick. The mashed potato bites were also crispy, and the Bavarian pretzel logs were soft and tasty. I expected to get a couple pieces of zeppole, but I got an entire to go box full of them. Amazing deal for great food! Will definitely order again.“

“Pizza and wings were so good, giving 4 stars only because the hours are bad.“

“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.“

“A friend and I had an after church lunch at the Barrel this past Sunday The food as always was great Our server was patient and gracious. We who are older appreciate that kindness greatly.“

“Absolutely love everything about this place the Atmosphere the staff and the food is Amazing so Happy we found it ❤️“

“Had a Phenomenal dinner and time at Sinatra's. Went there for our 32nd wedding anniversary. My Bride was ecstatic with everything from the drinks through desert. And if she's happy, I'm happy! On another note this was our first time there. I went over to another table where a couple was waiting for the rest of their party. When I inquired what they have had previously their response was "there isn't anything on the menu that we would not like". I believe that would be 100% true after we experienced the quality with just a few dishes... The beverages were excellent too.“

“Good Value with a Lovely Ambiance

This place offers good value for the price and ambiance, though the food didn’t quite exceed my expectations. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was nearly perfect - our server was. Our favorite was the duck, which was cooked with crispy skin.
Dover sole is renowned for its delicate, sweet flavor and velvety soft texture with its flaky fillets fall apart effortlessly with a fork. However, in your case, the sole was drier than expected, which might have been due to slight overcooking. Despite this, Dover sole remains a prized choice for its refined taste and texture.
The lamb is a solid choice if you’re very hungry.
For appetizers, the burata was intriguing when fried, but I preferred it in its original form as frying didn’t enhance the dish for me.
The thin layer of steak tartar was served on fatty toast that overpowered the tartar, which was a bit disappointing—I wouldn’t order it again as tartar.
The oysters were not all professionally opened.
The side mushrooms were too bland and not the type I expected, though the side potatoes were a hit with my mom.
Drinks were well-crafted, while others didn’t blend flavors as smoothly. Olive cake is worth trying!
Overall, this is a great spot for a casual dinner. We visited late in the evening, so maybe the chef was tired, which might have affected some dishes. Despite minor imperfections, the overall experience was enjoyable.“

“All the food we get from Airport Pizza is very good! We had pizza, wings, fingers and antipasto delivered on time and yummy! Thank you P.S. The security seals on the boxes was a welcomed surprise!“

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

“Highly recommended. Food was excellent , staff was nice“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I rented out the front area for my birthday party and I couldn’t have asked for a better time! The service was amazing, the bar was decorated beautifully and food and drinks were delicious! They even allowed me to have a specialty cocktail. We were able to come in advance to drop off some decorations I wanted to put out and we got to try the cocktail beforehand too. There were different party packages to choose from which I appreciated as well. I live nearby so I’ve been in to visit many times and I’ve always had a good experience so I knew I was making a good choice trusting them for my party. I would recommend Ciao to anyone! 🩷“

“I usually don't leave a response but for here I had to. First when we arrived it was kinda confusing between a dollar general and a tanning saloon but overall ok area. We were seated by a hostess, the. Greeted by our waitress which I mite add very pleasant and down to earth. I ordered the stuffed banana peppers and buffalo eggs rolls as an app and the steak and banana pizza. It was average wait time. Now the exciting part!!!! The food was absolutely amazing peppers mild in heat prepared well , the buffalo egg rolls O M G!!! That's all. Now the steak pizza is probably one of the best pizza I have eaten in the 38 years I have been alive fresh dough fresh sauce w.e it was. It was fantastic and the rest of Ingredients were amazing. I give this place a 4.9 almost perfect.“

“Had a wonderful experience at Faso’s! The chef and server were excellent. We loved everything we had especially the eggplant, garlic knots, banana pepper ravioli, cannolis and lemon cake. The list could go on!“

“The best ever“

“What’s wonderful find! Food is delicious! The wait staff was very nice and helpful. It is so cozy and quiet atmosphere. Loved the location as it reminded me of a wonderful place in Paris. We will definitely be going back!!“

“We love this place and the food 🥘 is delicious once you get it. The servers are always very friendly but service not always great. Food takes a long time sometimes. We struggle with this because we are vegetarians so there is no meat being cooked in our dishes. The main reason I’m leaving this review is because the last time we were there, they mistakenly sent out a real burger instead of a veggie burger causing us not to enjoy our lunch together. Our server, Chelsey was so so kind and apologetic but did not take anything off of our bill. We are going to give them another chance but I feel like the managers should be floating around and making these mistakes right.“

“We ordered the loaded nachos with chicken, light on cheese, and a stinger sub and fries last night. Delicious. Loved the food and the cheerful young girl who served us at the Drive thru window.“

“the good we had for dinner which was delicious.“

“I wanted to go someplace different for my "Belated" Birthday Dinner and I was in the mood for Italian. I needed Pasta . So, I looked on YELP & decided on "Carrabba's". I am so glad I did !!! My son & I got there around 6pm and had about a 10-15 minute wait. There was a bar to the right & most of the dining was to the left. It was clean & had a comfortable feel inside. We were seated & I had already planned what I wanted to eat the night before, so I wouldn't take forever deciding once I got there. But first, we were served delicious, soft, warm Italian bread . It was so good. We ended up getting it 3x I believe. Our waitress's name was Ashlie S. She was great !!! Very nice, friendly, helpful, funny & very easy to talk to. I order the LINGUINE POSITANO WITH CHICKEN, I got the MAMA MANDOLA'S SICILIAN CHICKEN SOUP & the CANNOLI CAKE FOR 2 for dessert. Everything was phenomenal !! The pasta was so light but with a burst of amazing flavors ! The soup was so good & with huge pieces of chicken in it. Yummmmmmy !! The Cannoli Cake was very good & because my birthday was yesterday, Ashlie gave me a few scoops of vanilla ice cream with syrup & a little birthday candle in it. She was so sweet. Everything was just perfect ! I had an amazing experience here tonight . I found the prices to be reasonable , at least for what I got. We had quite a Long waiting time to get our food, but it was soooo worth it ! They have a special deal going on. I don't know if it's temporary or always going on, but it is a great deal. Whatever the price of something you order for in the restaurant, you take home ANYTHING for less for $10.00. No matter what the regular price. I took home another Linguine Positano,but without the chicken. So now I have an amazing lunch & dinner for tomorrow, since I didn't even finish my pasta there. We also received extra fresh bread to take home. 100% satisfaction on the trip. Also, the ladies room was very clean & smelled good. (That never happens ) I will most definitely be returning to this Carrabba's & I hope I get the wonderful Ashlie S. as my server again. She was full of life, unlike a couple others I saw that looked like they were ready for bed. lol“

“Very attentive professional staff. Quick service. The most beautiful goddess of a woman was our waitress (beautiful eyelashes and amazing curly hair but I cannot remember names well) she was so quick and got my water refilled so fast. I have never had a better experience. 10/10 would recommend this location as best Olive Garden in the Buffalo area.“

“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!“

“The absolute best chicken cutlets in wny. The milanese is incredible. the salad that comes as a soup or salad choice is the best included salad ive ever had with a meal. the bread with olive oil and fava bean hummus is my favorite bread service around. Let's not forget the awesome and welcoming staff that always makes us feel like family. Yesterday my wife had a beet salad special that was in her opinion better (by far) than the ones she has had at the western door and other "high end" restaurants. Very reasonable prices as well especially considering the quality of the food.“

“I LOVE IT HERE! ❤️ One of my favorite restaurants - hands down. Staff are SO nice and friendly and everything I’ve tried is very good. Please come try it! (I ask for extra parm and they DELIVER)“

“My wife and I went here on a whim. I wanted some classic Italian comfort food on a cold MLK day. I found this place on Google and decided to try it out. I got the lasagna and my wife got the ravioli with meatballs we washed it down with some Genesee beer. Both dishes were fantastic, the service was great and you cannot beat the price.“

“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.“

“Picked up a dinner pack with chicken parmesan, spaghetti and garlic knots. Everything was so delicious. Everyone loved it! I will be going back to try other things, for sure. 😁“

“Had an amazing Christmas luncheon With 31 people from my zumba Gold class at Fanares the food was fabulous the service was excellent. Loved how they set the room up for us.🌲🌲“

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

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

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

“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!“

“Great food, great customer service & as always great atmosphere! Super friendly and family owned business. Always happy to support❤️!“

“Excellent service, amazing quality of food - will definitely return! 👌“

“Penne pesto, I added chicken. And Got the extra sauce. Wow it’s delicious ! I will get it again. Thx for this amazing dinner“

“Good food. That’s why we went.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. They have a nice banquet hall, cozy bar and a beautiful spacious dining room. Homemade bread is to die for.“

“Over and Above Customer Service!! Excellent.\nIt was our first visit to this location and I think we will add this Italian restaurant as one of our favorite spots.\n\nThe server Lauren W was very hospitable, warm and gave us great advise/suggestions about the different items on the menu. We all felt at home.\n\nI ordered a well done steak and when it arrived it wasn't " well done" as soon I mentioned it Lauren said she will replace it. All I was expecting was she will take it and cook it a little but she truly went way above my expectations and ordered a new one. And since the newly ordered steak came after my family had their dinner she complemented my steak. \n\nWe truly felt she was an excellent server and we will DEFINITELY be back to The Olive Garden, On Military Road, because of the excellent service, the delicious , tasty food and the great atmosphere.\n\nMicko's Family“

“Been going here for a few years now, Good Staff, Great Food. My favorite pizza shop in the Ken-Ton Area.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Gotta give it to Pistachio’s for being one, if not, the best place to eat on campus. The pasta there is amazing, especially compared to the pastas in the dining halls. Go for their Alfredo sauce. Thing is that you gotta make sure you place your order fast before everyone else does or else you’re gonna be waiting for a while. They got good pasta after all. Problem is that, again, like almost all other CDS places, the quantity is terrible. You do not get enough for what you’re paying for.“
