“Absolutely delicious! Best service I've had in awhile. Food was fantastic! Couldn't even finish my meal because of all the appetizers, salad and soup! This restaurant does not disappoint. This was my first time here and I have lived in Buffalo and drove past all my life. Don't drive by. GO IN! ❤️“
“I thought this was going to be your typical “Buffalo” pizza. It’s not! It’s so much better! The crust is incredible! Very tasty pizza! Service was awesome! I just don’t like that you have to pay at the bar, sometimes. They do have a few tables for sit down and the parking is great! I can see this place being packed for The Bills game for sure!!! It is a little pricey for a pizza as a large cheese pizza was $25.01. I usually don’t buy pizza over $20. I would definitely come back, here though. Very yummy!!!!Kid-friendliness: As long as they don’t have you paying at the bar, you can bring the kiddos for sit down on the pizza side.“
“It's on my way home from school now. I stop about every day. I'm never disappointed. I've been eating their pizza for a long time and still love it. I'll be making my stops there on my way home until further notice. It's great there“
“Took a cruise out from So. Buffalo to get a couple of subs. It was worth the ride. It's the only place we know of that melts the cheese, and that's makes the sub. Also, the price doesn't break the bank. We will definitely be back.Parking: You can eat in, or they have tables outside when the weather is nice out. Handicap parking is available.“
“The name of the restaurant reminded me of an old Dr. Seuss book, but I didn't see any parades, magicians, or long-bearded men there. The atmosphere was very nice, and I can't comment enough on how friendly our server was. The food portions appeared to be very large, but very tasty.I ordered the Meatball sandwich (minus the cheese because I weirdly don't like cheese, except on pizza and some other miscellaneous items I don't have time to go into), thinking I would get a sub with a number of meatballs on it. But oh no! I received a hamburger bun with one giant, and I mean GIANT, meatball sandwiched between the bread. It was grand! It was fresh! It was amazing! I also got a side of fries that ended up, to my surprise, being freshly cut. And like any good little Italian restaurant, they had freshly baked bread with yummy olive oil and pepper flakes to dip in. I wasn't able to check out the dessert menu this time around, but if I'm back again, I definitely will! I'd love to check this place out for dinner sometime on a future visit to the area. Good thing Google will remind me I ate here now next time I'm in town. Check this place out if you like Italian and you're near the Port of Buffalo!The prices seemed fair, and in the end, there is no need to make up any stories about this place!“
“Such a Buffalo staple- all their dishes are solid, and none will leave you disappointed. Great wine selection and attentive, friendly service (Terry is the best!). Homemade pasta is to die for (love the pappardelle piemonte and rigatoni genovese); so are the artichokes. Always a great experience all “
“My husband and I love it here. Need to give a shoutout to an employee of yours…he was one of the bus boys working last night when we came in for dinner. I believe our waiter said his name was Elliott..? He did a phenomenal job!! The whole time we were there he was very attentive, hustling and busting his butt with every single table!!! And so polite. You don’t see all of that very often with the younger crowd.“

“Diapalos was magnificent yesterday. The service and the atmosphere are better than any other Italian restaurant. The food was excellent and the portions were larger than any other restaurant. The prices were better than Mangia. In fact, Mangia's prices have gotten bad compared to Diapalos. Diapalos lasagna was $17. Mangia's $25. Then. If you want Mangia's hot sauce they charge you $5 more. Diapalos is the Best Italian restaurant for the food, Portions, price and service!“
“I was pleasantly surprised when I went in to order breakfast,Everything I’ve gotten from there has been delicious, fresh , made to orderThe woman that works the register has the most amazing accent and attitude I’ve ever been around . She kind and welcoming and I love her voice so much I want to mimic her ;) instant smiles Will absolutely return ..“
“Bella Ciao (lower level of Embassy Suites - Downtown Buffalo Highly recommend! Excellent service (Isabella our waitress- her first time on her own after training- was excellent!) Food was very good! Homemade pasta- all very good! Management made sure they stopped at every table to check in! Great place!“
“Food is always good and atmosphere is great. Our server was a very sweet old lady and she took great care of us.This last time I was at Chef's I attended an event that was incredible. It was called "A Taste of Italy" and the location they featured was Sicily. The meal consisted of a four-course food and wine pairing. The first coast was an Arancini balled that was the size of a softball and stuffed with rice, ground beef, and peas, and sat in their red sauce. This was accompanied by a white Grillo wine. It was so good, and more than enough for one person. The second course was bucatini pasta with a red sardine sauce. This course was paired with a Merlot. The sardines were not overpowering and it was so good. I ended up having to take half home because I was already getting full. The third course was grilled swordfish with olives, capers, fresh lemon, and olive oil, with a side of fingerling potatoes. This course was paired with a Biano wine. Incredible, and even though I hate olives, the taste of them on the fish with the rest of the items was perfect. I also took half of the fish home. The last course was a cannoli, and I normally don't care for them, but these were perfect and very delicious. They also included warm homemade bread and coffee at the end. I can't wait for the next event in September, and highly recommend these events if you are a foody like me!“
“I ordered delivery yesterday. I paid over the phone as I want going to be home.... my babysitter was watching my kids and I didn't want her to be bothered with paying. We are slightly out of the way, but the manager Jay personally delivered my order and made sure my babysitter got it abs was set. I really appreciated him making sure my order was delivered!! And the kids love the food!!“
“We visited Blue Cave Restaurant for the first time! Everything was amazing. Their craft cocktails were delicious. Food presentation was beautiful and the taste was superb. Our serve was attentive but not overbearing. They have menu items labeled for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian. Highly recommend.“
“Such a lovely experience. Great food. My husband had the chicken Parmesan and he loved it said best chix parm he ever had. I had a seafood special and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was amazing. Dessert was mini donuts and were perfect and so much flavor. My martini was perfect and they even made me blue cheese stuffed olives!! I note that the owner made everyone feel very special by interacting with every table and service was excellent and attentive. Thank you Lauren.For a Friday night, where sometimes it’s so busy to go to a restaurant, you almost expect to get a lower level of service .… we received a higher level of service than I get at most establishments. Thank you for such a lovely and tasty evening.“
“A well managed and courteous venue. We had chicken Marsala, ham, rice, vegetable (cooked from frozen but prepared acceptably) rolls and few other things (I didn't have them so I forgot). The chicken was tender and not over cooked. People loved the ham enough to compliment the staff about it.The manager kept us on pace for our three hour lease.The venue itself is nicely decorated in browns and wood accents. The compliments were abundant.The bar (we paid for the open bar option) was well stocked and the bartender was super professional yet accessible.We are definitely rethinking about rebooking for next year.“
“All of our food was delicious. my seafood fra di avlo was super good & I had the eggplant stack appetizer it came on a salad with capers & olives with fresh mozzarella & the dressing was excellent. My Wife's food was also delicious. we can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu!!“
“The food and service were wonderful. The bar was way too small, it only fit the couples. The upstairs bar was closed which was large and a much better set up. This was unfortunate because the bartenders skills were great. Close the downstairs one and open upstairs. You'll attract a younger crowd up there. The beef tartare was my favorite dish of the night but my lobster was also great.“
“Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️“
“Tried this Pizzeria for the first time tonight, will definitely be back! Got a Large Cheese and Pepperoni, 10 Fingers with Fries, Single order (12) Garlic Parm Wings, order of Pizza Logs. Everything was very good! Staff were very polite and got people in and out. The 2 ladies in front of me were referred to by name so I assume they are “regulars”. I pay attention to things like that, repeat customers are a sign of good food and value (at least to me). Prices were VERY REASONABLE!! Would have paid considerably more at most places. I have gotten pizza from probably 20-30 different places in Western New York. Don’t mind going “out of my way” for good food at a good price and this place was worth my trip!“
“Table of five with my sister from out of town. The service from all of the staff is always excellent. Our server Mallory was very attentive. JJ and Sean behind the bar are always professional mixologist. Heather makes it all gel. Very enjoyable evening as usual here !!  spring time is here soon and the outdoor patios will be open “
“Used Bravo Cafe and Catering for my daughters birthday party. Tired of same old pizza and wings! Trays of hot delicious food were ready for the little ones to eat! Great service, delicious food, great price! Would recommend to all for your friends and family events! “
“Yesterday my Gigi and I found this place. We were in town for a dance competition at sheas and didn’t know the restaurants around. We started walking and by the grace of god found this amazing place! First of all the atmosphere is amazing. The staff was friendly. Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was probably the best server I have ever had. then came the food. Oh my god! The ricotta gnocchi is literally bites of heavenly clouds in your mouth. Moral of story probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had (and I’m picky) this place will now be my favorite restaurant. I will happily travel from Fredonia to come here!“
“A hidden gastronomic treasure and that is Bellini's Bistro. The food is prepared with skill and offers a delicious blend of Italian flavors. For those looking for tasty and real Italian food in the city, it's a great option because of its welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. Strongly suggested for a tasty and fulfilling meal.“
“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!“
“Highly recommend Tappo restaurant. Very creative menu choices. Food is fresh with beautiful presentation and amazing taste. Service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and lively. By far our favorite restaurant! Always our number 1 choice.“
“Food was very good. It's a prefixed menu. The atmosphere in the room where we sat this time, the room with the stage, is is a bit dark and leaves a bit to be desired. But really... you cannot beat the convenience! It's just feet from the theater and you don't even need to go outside. Great option if you are a theater goer and it's nasty out.“
“I had a bad experience my 1st visit. I contacted the owner who responded immediately. He replaced our whole order. I found it to be DELICIOUS. Not many owners would do that, he stands behind his product 100%. I will definitely be returning and recommend his restaurant“
“Dinner at DiTondo was absolutely fabulous! Fresh, local ingredients elevate the dishes to a level that make your taste buds long for more! Whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed. Service was stellar & the atmosphere enhanced the entire experience.“
“As seen on Food Network's Restaurant Impossible, this place blew me away. The restaurant looks great on the inside. The service and food were phenomenal. The chicken parm is one of the best ones I've ever had. Food presentation was perfect, and everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back. Currently there is no alcohol, but would be nice if they implemented a BYOB policy.“
“My wife and I will stop here before we go to Flying Bison. The bartender is always super friendly and attentive. The food is always good here too. Prices are easy on the wallet too we always have a couple of beers and dinner for about 40bucks. Can’t beat this place! Chicken wings, burgers and fish fry’s are all awesome!!!“
“BOCO is a hidden treasure in the southtowns. The prices are fair, and the food is beyond compare. I would recommend anyone in the city make the trip out for their pasta, and appetizers. Vegetarians will find plenty of dishes available!Dietary restrictions: Great vegetarian options and gluten free options as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access“
“Seriously the pizza here is the best. Fingers are always cooked to perfection! My oldest child is severely autistic and nonverbal has feeding issues and can't eat pizza so I'm glad they have that meatball dinner which he CAN eat. The menu says it comes with 4 meatballs but they always outdo themselves and give him at least 6! Amazing! They're delicious and always piping hot when they arrive. One time we left a really nice note while ordering online and they snuck in a FREE pizza coupon in the pizza box. What a nice surprise. Staff are amazing too. I love that WiseGuys is always out there in the community, helping out. That's why I think they stand out from the rest. Not many pizza joints are as generous. The drivers are always kind! We always make sure that we give the drivers at least a $20 tip because they rock at what they do!“
“Great lunch! I ordered the meatball parm sandwich. I really appreciated that the meatballs and sauce were not overdone with seasoning. The seasoning complemented rather than dominated. The sandwich comes with a pickle spear and a choice of potato salad or macaroni salad. I chose the latter. The mac salad was very tasty. My biggest pleasure was the dill pickle. It was terrific - crunchy and not overwhelmed by the spices or vinegar. It was more akin to the store-bought Clausen brand pickle. Well done!“
“Honestly some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. My fiancé and I just found this restaurant by luck and it made our whole trip! Our server Nicole was incredible and I know our experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Highly recommend and I know we will be back soon! ☺️“
“My husband and I have not been out on a date for a long time and we really wanted to try a spot that we've never been to before plus, we were in the mood for pizza. A friend of ours recommended Santora's at the Galleria Mall and I must say, we were not disappointed. I had the garlic knots and the classic medium pepperoni pizza and my husband had a Cesar salad with chicken and a buffalo chicken pizza. The garlic knots were very spongey, crispy, and perfectly flavored with buttery herby crust paired with their marinara sauce was an experience I will never forget. Having them with a taste of my husband's Cesar salad paired with the dressing was also very tasty as well. Then there are the pizzas. The ratio of crust, to the sauce to toppings was perfect and not too overwhelming. The pepperoni was burnt around the ledges which added an extra crispy element that was very much enjoyable. My husband's buffalo chicken pizza was very delicious, the crust was perfectly crispy. There was also not too much buffalo sauce which in this case was nice that it did not mask all the rest of the flavors on the pizza. Paired with refreshing draft beer, you will never leave hungry. An experience that was worth getting out of the house and will satisfy your pizza cravings. Highly recommend and our meal deserves 5 stars.“
“Received gift cards for my birthday and I was so excited because I've always wanted to stop in amd I don't know why I waited so long this little gem was absolutely terrific ? I was so impressed with Thier prices and they do have the best chicken salvaki in town inside clean and nice people who work there keep up the good work!!!!“
“They generally have good food; however, in the past 2 years, the quality of their pizza has dropped significantly. The crust is almost nonexistent, the toppings are scant. Last night we ordered a large pizza: cheese, pepperoni, and banana peppers. The cheese and pepperoni were a good amount (i.e. not great), the banana peppers were almost nonexistent. The quality has suffered and not up to the standards they had when they were located on Center Road. It appears that profit has outweighed quality: Less dough per pizza equals more money in the pocket. The price has increased to almost $60 for a large pizza and a double order of wings. It used to be $40. Less product for more money. I do understand that the cost of doing business has increased, but the quality should not suffer related to that. I would think that, with the current influx of travelers for the eclipse, they would want to put their best foot forward. And, for the current loyal customers, i.e. us, they would want to maintain them. We have been loyal to Pasquale's for well over 20 years. You need to rethink your attitude toward product.“
“Our 1st time and wow the food was delicious! The service is amazing, our waitress Donnie was super sweet and attentive! we will definitely be back! It was totally worth our 25 min drive We eat a lot of wings and hands down their garlic parm is fantastic!“
“The food was excellent. Eggplant parm very well done. An item not easy to find in the area, TRIPE, was available and served very hot in an excellent sauce with a side of pasta. Many tasty menu options. Everything about the place was authentic.“
“i bought a 2 litter docter pepper here and they let me share it with my dog vincent in the pizza lobby they even gave me a bowl to pour the docter pepper in for vincent ive never seen my dog so happyVegetarian options: they have 2 litters of docter pepper which is my favorite beverage because does not have any eggs, beef, milk, or mammals in its 23 flavours and I think that makes it veegan“
“Rough service and really bad food. Waited over an hour and a half for a pizza 10 wings .. wasn’t even that busy. The entire kitchen staff looked like that molasses in their blood. No sense of urgency !! I have to say they need to change their hiring techniques.“
“At Bada Bing, burgers are more than just a meal--they're a masterpiece of flavor. Expertly seasoned and bursting with goodness, these burgers are a must-try for any foodie. Plus, with attentive all-girl wait staff and a lively sports fan ambiance, every visit is a delight. Don't miss out on their fantastic sides either. It's the perfect spot for burger lovers and sports enthusiasts alike!“
“As always, food and service were both excellent! We had a 5:30pm reservation before a show. We finished our meal with plenty of time. For an appetizer, we had the hot stuffed peppers. The sauce on the side was a nice bonus and tasty for fries. For entrees, we had the hot chicken sandwiches. I don't typically like chicken or chicken sandwiches. I tend to always get a piece with grizzle. This sandwich was perfect though and the chicken was flavorful.“
“Ordered foor togo. I chose curbside pickup since I had two littles that I didn't want to drag inside with me. They walked out with it two minutes after the estimated time which I thought was fantastic but the young man was so apologetic about "the wait". I kept stressing that there was no reason to apologize. We live about 25 minutes away but the food was still hot upon getting home. Everything was delicious. My only complaint is how much garlic and season salt is always put on the broccoli in the kids meals. I wish it came plain without having to ask for it because I it is not stated that it has seasoning, so I don't remember to ask.“
“Even though they were very busy, service was quick. The food was fantastic and the beer cold.We had a medium pizza and wings. Best pizza I’ve had in western New York. The wings were good and hot (temperature).Will definitely frequent this restaurant again.“
“The food was acceptable, we went on Valentine's Day. The service was good. It wouldn't be my first choice for Italian but it wasn't horrible. The restaurant was clean and well lit. I had a slice of their pizza a week before and it was real good.“
“We had a fantastic experience at Mangia tonight!!!! Our server Wilyana (sp?) was probably the best server I have ever had. All of our appetizers and entrees were flavorful and very generous portion size. 2 glasses of wine, salad, appetizer, pizza and three entrées, and dessert were only $140. We can’t wait to go back!!!“
