50 Best Italian Restaurants near West Seneca

“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?!?!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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! 🩷“

“Everything was amazing!!!! Clams casino... Grilled Pork Chops... Chicken Maria all delicious!!!! And the homemade pasta was so good!!!! Highly recommend!!! Great atmosphere and Fantastic service!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“The best ever“

“We had Bravo Cafe & Catering for my wedding and I have NO regrets! The food was AMAZING!!! We had so many compliments on how are food was good with great flavor!

“Awesome food; their wings, pizza and pasta dishes are generously sized and top quality taste. 🍕🍝🍗😋 Their team is awesome too, from the owner, Rick to anyone you interact with…they are experienced and professional as you’ll find. Go eat in their dining room and def get the salad bar. 👍🏻“

“Will the bistro be open on Sundays this season?? Such a mistake being closed on sheas Sundays!!“

“Awesome food! You pick everything you want by Sharpie on the menu and hand it back to them. It's the best, actually! We had the pizza boat that is new. So good! Also, great big salad and pasta that was to die for. Can't go wrong has something for everyone. Great place for take-out, also.“

“The food, especially the Fish Fry is amazing (my personal favorite)! Also, the baked ziti is awesome! The service is excellent. We are so happy that our friend recommended this restaurant to us. It is now our "go to" favorite. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Been curious about this place for sometime and today presented the opportunity to try it. Came with a couple of work mates. Simple, clean tavern with food and several tables. Old school and homey. Limited daily menu, but something for anyone who loves traditional Italian-American dishes. I am always hesitant to order red sauced dishes out, because I was taught how to make a mean red sauce by an old school Nonna. The Armory did not disappoint and frankly the sauce could easily compete with Mulberry's , which is my usual go to. Not to sweet, not to acidic, just right seasonings for an everyday red sauce. Thick sliced and fresh, seeded Italian bread and butter, generous portions, lovely personal service and inflation busting price points...OMG, what's not to love about lunch here!“

“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 going to Bings although don't get to go enough. It's always so great to see Shelly always there with her awesome family always helping..The service is outstanding and the food to die for...can you tell I'm a bit of a fan of the best damn small italian restaurant in our area!! If you haven't been you will be hooked...great prices too!!!“

“This place was my favorite restaurant in the 90’s and in 2024, it’s STILL a favorite! You can’t go wrong with any item you order. It’s all delicious!“

“Decided to come here after “The Place” downtown lost our reservation. We should have just come here in the first place because the food is always great. Tonight was no exception. The calamari appetizer was probably the best I’ve ever had. The two other dinner guests had the gnocchi and meatballs which were delicious. The star of the show was the linguini with clam sauce, which was delicious.“

“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.“

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

“Have benn dining at Mangia for many yrars and have hanhad many great meals and some not so great. My most recent visit I odered a special the butternut squash ravioli. It could be the best ravioli dish I have ever had. I hope they put it on the prtmanrnt menu.“
