Velvet Buffalo Modern Italian

This is the best Italian food I have ever had. Veal parm was exceptional and the spaghetti meatballs was amazing. The bruschetta was so good. The staff made us feel right at home. This is the gem of Beloit!

The short rib was easily one of the best dishes I've ever had. My wife and I had a great time.

You can't go wrong with the swordfish - it's fantastic. I am one of those people who thinks that they can just make anything Italian at home and I am very very wrong. This is a great local restaurant and the focaccia bread is really really good

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. We started out with a small complimentary Prosecco! We had the fried provolone as the appetizer and everyone love it. The dipping sauces were so good. I had the grilled salmon and it was perfectly cooked; my husband had spaghetti and meatballs and my daughter had the sausage and orechetti. Both loved their dinners. The Budino for dessert was also a highlight for everyone. The waitstaff was so kind and attentive and the atmosphere was chic. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we will definitely be back.

Great meal, abundant servings and very good service. I like that the wine BTG keeps getting more diversified and interesting.

we really appreciate the staff. We were more of a mess than I prefer to be, with two kids who were super tired. We were thankfully tucked in the back, but the staff went above and beyond to help accommodate one of the kids in our group who is on the Autism Spectrum, dealt with some dietary preference with grace, and even dealt with me accidentally tumbling the last bit of wine I had on myself when we were moving a plate with grace and resourcefulness (showing up with seltzer and tide pens). The service was truly only out surpassed by the great food we had. We all tried a variety of dishes and everything was great, including the kid's buttered noodles! Drinks were on point and the wine pairings also hit hard! Great job team.

We had a wonderful meal, both the food and the service were excellent! It was a Monday night and very quiet, which also made it a very nice dining experience. The restaurant was absolutely beautifully decorated for the holidays! 

Good food with rotation in menu. Service is always good.

First of all, this is a genuine, non-bias review. I work in the restaurant industry so I understand what makes a restaurant good. Our server seemed uninterested and payed no attention to us. I got the initial glass of water, finished it, and got no refill which resulted in having to eat my dinner with no beverage. When she came to get our order, she did not introduce herself, she did not ask if we wanted appetizers, and she did not greet us. She began by saying something like "are you guys gonna order". The bruschetta was great, and our main courses were good but nothing to write home about. They looked phenomenal however lacked personality, my pasta was hot in the middle and lukewarm on the outside of the dish. The environment is set in a cool setting but it's a little small. Tip to all waiters out there, if you see two younger people sitting at a table, don't treat them like less. I always tip 20%, but because our waiter did nothing above and beyond to earn a tip, she got 5%. That is generous for the kind of service we received. Don't shy away from this place, I'm sure if you're older and can order wine they'll be kind and attentive, but if you're younger I wouldn't recommend it at all. Waste of time.

Simply a fantastic dining experience. I don’t give out many 5 star reviews. I had the sausage and peppers and Kathy had the veal Parmesan. Both the portions and proportions of the ingredients were top notch. We were there for about an hour twenty and never felt rushed.
Thanks for a memorable dining experience.

My husband and I come here often and is one of our favorite restaurants. But lately we've been noticing a difference in quality. We spend a lot of money to dine here and the food just isn't the same as it has been in the past. My salmon was a bit dry and mediocre in last and the mushroom risotto mushy. I was surprised and disappointed. Will come again hoping things are better next time but for what we're charged for a pasta dish - $35 - and no protein, that's a bit expensive.

NYE tasting menu was terrific - and the amount of food plated for three out of the four courses was way more than tasting size! The "Everything Parmesan" dish was fabulous - and huge. Service was personal and authentic. Very enjoyable evening.

Prior to our visit, we were told the plates were small. This was definitely not the case. My wife, Cindy, ordered the Chicken Parmesan, it was enough for 3 meals. I ordered the Sausage and Peppers Pasta. It wasn't as big of serving, but it was amazing. The Chicken Parmesan was great as well. We each ordered a cocktail, the Pineapple old Fashioned and the Apple Cranberry Hot Toddy, both were amazing. Highly recommend, we will go again.

The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, was a bit disappointed with the entree. I had Chicken Parmesan and the entire bottom of my dish was full of water from the noodles not being fully drained. Drinks sat empty most of the dinner as well. The staff were very friendly which is always nice to see. Was my first time coming here but probably won’t be back anytime soon. Didn’t feel like the quality of the food matched up with the prices they were charging.

Went here years ago and I still think about the tiramisu. I know that the place has likely changed but I remember the service being good and atmosphere being enjoyable.
