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?!?!“

“We just ordered a wonderful take-out dinner from Mario’s! His homemade meatball bomber was satisfying and bursting with Italian flavor and creative touches…it was also packed with meatballs from the first bite to the last! We added homemade minestrone soup and cannolis to our order and both were comforting and satisfying. We’ll be back! There’s no reason “not to go to Mario’s”!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!!!!“

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

“I’ve been to this little gem in the city several times and each time I was extremely pleased with the food and service. I’ve gone with different people as I felt I just had to introduce them to the Blue Cave. Everyone was amazed at the quality of the food! I have also recommended this restaurant to other friends and they have loved it! I am a huge cheese lover and you can just taste the freshness of the cheeses used. The service was efficient and friendly and I was not lacking for a thing. I enjoyed taking in the view of the downtown area while savoring my delicious wine and meal. I was also pleased to meet the chef and his charming wife who seem to work so hard to make this place a unique dining experience. I would without a doubt highly recommend the Blue Cave! I’m looking forward to my next visit!“

“Thank you for delivering an amazing sheet pizza with a beautiful message on the box over to Saint Joseph Hospital to the nurses for me!!! The nurses all said the pizza was super yummy!!! I can’t thank you enough for all you did for me .... and knowing you’ve got the best pizza in Buffalo is even better!!!! 🍕 your sheet pizzas are amazing... PS whoever wrote on the box has really great handwriting as well.“

“I relocated to Buffalo about a year ago and this place has become one of my favorite for sure. Portions are great, flavor is really good and prices are decent plus service is always great as well. Definitely worth going and also taking food to go or frozen meal (taste just the same as the real thing served on the spot).“

“We recently had our twins college graduation party at Caio Caio and were extremely satisfied with the whole process from scheduling and planning (Gina) to the party itself. The food was delicious and service was exceptional. Nick and his crew were on top of their game!! Everyone had a great time and we received numerous comments on how great everything was, especially the focaccia sandwiches and mini cannolis. We live down the street and will definitely be back soon.

Thank you All ?“

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

“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!“

“I have been to each incarnation of this space since Yiannis in the 1980s - Angeline holds its own! Lively (if crowded) bar, beautiful decor and excellent service. Oysters were fresh, cold…delicious. Gem salad terrific. Swordfish alla Putanesca nicely cooked, delicious sauce but…..scrub the clams better. I was so excited to see them, but there were tiny pieces of shell in the sauce. No one wants to pick their teeth at the table. Scrub-a-dub-dub!
Olive oil cake was perfect.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Frankie Primos is our favorite. Authentic cuisine just like you’d find in grandma’s kitchen. Everything is perfect every time we come.“

Also, the owners worked very close with us to make sure we had everything we wanted on our menu and drinks for the wedding! I would recommend Bravo Cafe & Catering to everyone, the food and service is always great!!!“

“Nice atmosphere, authentic cuisine!“

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

“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.“

“Fresh, Outstanding, Great Spices in a Sweet Sauce. Huge menu. Staff is helpful & kind—handsome deco with 2 big rooms. Donated to "Christmas in Marilla" 2024. We appreciate you all!! Thank You.“

“The best ever“

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

“I NEVER leave reviews but couldn't pass up this opportunity to share how AMAZING our food was. Large portions, reasonably priced, the sauce is outstanding and the garlic knots are to die for. Wish I would have gone there a lot sooner. If you haven't gone yet, don't wait. I promise, you won't be disappointed!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Dinner last night 6/18/22, was excellent.. tripe was so good had to bring an extra order home.. pork chop and the pork braciole were fantastic..the personel made you feel so important and could not do enough for you..again thank you for a great evening but most of all for being there for all of us..☺️☺️“

“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!“

“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“

“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 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)“

“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.“

“Was very delicious and savory. staff is very friendly“

“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!“
