“What a great evening (10/26/24) even being short staffed this team put on an awesome night…thank you to all..“

“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!“

“We are obsessed with their indian cuisine, it's so good with huge portions and always arrives hot when we order delivery! We try to order at least once a week now ? The lamb mahkani is my absolute favorite but everything is sooo good, their desserts and lassi are to die for too! I never cared about Rix much before to be honest, not that it was bad it just didn't stand out much to us, but now it's our go-to for takeout nights! Love!“

“Loved homemade bread, cheese ravioli, and mozzarella sticks. Best cheesecake I've ever had. Homemade red sauce didn't bother my acid reflux.“

“We just stopped for lunch at Mario's Bistro & Brews, our first time there. It's an unassuming little place but don't let it fool you! The nicest people and authentic, fresh Italian food made to order! I definitely recommend 'The Sunnyside', and the sweet potato fries were delicious and perfectly crispy! The chicken Florentine panini is also a winner! Stop by and support this great local business!“

“Such a wonderful meal that we received as part of the Evening of Hope group! Thank you for all of the amazingly delicious food! My son was a huge fan of EVERYTHING but especially the pasta!!!!“

“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.“

“It was so good!! Portions are huge. Service is excellent!!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Buffalo Classic That Lives Up to the Hype!

We had an incredible meal at Chef’s in Buffalo, NY, and it absolutely lived up to its legendary reputation. The spaghetti parm with meatball was out of this world—perfectly cooked pasta smothered in gooey, melted cheese and topped with a rich, flavorful meatball. We also tried the sandwich parm, and it was just as delicious—crispy, hearty, and smothered in that unforgettable red sauce.

Speaking of the sauce—it was the real star of the show. Bold, savory, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. You can tell it’s a family recipe perfected over generations. The portions were generous, the service warm and welcoming, and the old-school Italian-American vibe made the experience even better.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Chef’s is a must-stop. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The restaurant is Italian and has a rustic European look - we were told the 2nd floor is normally used for parties of 8 and up. The patio is open for seating and is dog-friendly but it was too warm today so we ate inside. The bar and kitchen are in the center and there is seating on both sides. We started with drinks and complimentary focaccia bread. My husband had salmon wrapped in a puff pastry served with asparagus, his sister had Ziti alla Genovese (see menu photo), and I had Gnocchi Bolognese. We shared two desserts - lemoncello cake and a strawberries and cream gelato. The service was great (Gianni), the temperature inside not too cold or hot, and the bathroom was clean. We definitely recommend!“

“Nice atmosphere, authentic cuisine!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Decided to try a different place for lunch this week. My son heard about a few good reviews here. OMG! We had 20 wings(10 medium, 10 spicy Cajun). I luv BarBills and Elmo’s but these wings…. I can’t imagine anyplace being better! We also had stuffed peppers and pepper pizza. Everything was beyond expectations. THIS PLACE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!“

“We love to come here. Our greeter was exceptionally wonderful. Most graders see you with a cane and I don't know. Imagine that you could walk far, even if they see you're in pain. Not this wonderful greater. She sat us close but not embarrassingly close. Being handicapped is hard enough

Parking: Great handicap parking

Wheelchair accessibility: People here are great. Fully accessible.“

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

“We received this dining experience as a present. Completely blew our minds and taste buds. Out of this world. I am hoping to purchase the same groupon and enjoy with my 2 best friends ( I was his best man and likewise him to me), in September 25 to celebrate their 50th anniversary

Parking: Right next to restaurant. You can fall out of your vehicle and within a few steps walk in the front door“

“I have always loved eating here, the atmosphere would be enough for me, the food is just an added bonus. Anywhere that plays Frank Sinatra and friends in the dining room will always have my vote. The drinks are made so well, service is great, and food is always tasty, filling, and big enough portions to bring home leftovers.“

“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.“

“I get my spaghetti from Mineo’s. It tastes great & comes with garlic bread & a large side salad. And, there’s enough spaghetti for two dinners. It’s the only place I get take out spaghetti from.“

“Always such a great time!!“

“kept seeing the fire fish posted so made the 30 minute drive to finally try it and it exceeded expectations!!! Absolutely one of the best fish fry's I've ever had!“

“The Celtic Menu was planned for this week and a friend and I ordered the Seafood light cream soup and Fall salad with romaines, toasted hazelnuts, grilled orange slices,et cetera to start ! Each was so very delicious ! Before that we were given their complimentary amusebusce ( sp.? ) of their homegrown cherry tomatoes, flavored butter and asparagus. The breadbasket had Irish soda bread,and one other roll. My entree was two pieces of beautifully fried fish, and shoestring French fries,and Cole slaw. Best that I’ve ever had ! Another entree was a lamb pasty with vegetables. The crust was marvelous and the lamb gently seasoned. We could not resist the ‘pot pie’ on a light,crust with delicious vegetables. 2 desserts were offered but we must leave room for those on another visit ! The chef takes time to come out to the tables to check about the food,and the staff is VERY attentive . This was a wonderful experience, as every time we attend ! Treat yourself !“

“Great Place before or after Sheas!“

“Out of the blue my other 1/2 half wanted a salad from olive garden. Along with a cyo (create your own) pasta dish. Ordering on the website was easy and the food was ready for pickup on time. I got the tour of italy.

You pull into an OG to Go spot and respond to the email that you are there. A polite waiter brings the bag to your car. Pretty seamless.

Food was what you would expect from an Olive Garden. It was fine.“

“Conveniently located, delicious food, peaceful atmosphere, reasonable prices, huge portions, friendly & thoughtful service, clean atmosphere.“
