Santora's Pizza Pub & Grill

Everyone in Buffalo, NY, knows that one of best sports bars in town is Santora's Pizza Pub & Grill. The Transit Road location features 42 different taps to enjoy while you watch the game on one of the 110-inch TVs studded throughout the restaurant, and wh

We happened to go here the same day due to it's close proximity to our hotel... I'd give it a 4 1/2 for lunch and 3 1/2 for dinner.First off, it's a sports bar, so I wouldn't recommend taking little ones past say 5 or 6. The menu is EXTENSIVE. Almost a little too big... during lunch we were trying to figure out which combo we wanted, and felt rushed because you have to flip back and forth through the menu. It took about 20+ minutes for us to decide, and lunch specials end at 2. Granted, we were exhausted due to the nature of our stay in Buffalo, so maybe we were just a bit overwhelmed.They offer traditional American entrees, pastas, pizzas, bomber sandwiches, an extensive salad menu, soups, apps... probably more I've forgotten about.We decided on a salad/pizza combo, and pasta/soup. Minestrone was very good, salad was, well, a regular green salad but fresh (beware... there's an upcharge for salad dressing... huh????), pizza was thin, crispy, and decent sauce, and lasagna pretty good, although basic. They DO use fresh herbs though.Went back for a small pizza during the "big" hockey game. Our waitress was a little slow, place was so loud we couldn't talk, and bathrooms trashed. Of course, that's to be expected at 10pm during a game. But the QUALITY of the pizza went from a 9 to a 4. Undercooked, sauce all on one side and cheese on the other, and just kinda gross.So, I guess it's a hit or miss. I don't expect an establishment of the like to be quiet during a hockey game in Buffalo, NY, LOL, but I DO expect quality food.

Stopped here with friends before a show. I had pan seared Salmon which was GREAT! Friends had Acadia Fish & Chips which looked twrrific. They said it was good. We started with stuffed banana peppers, good but needed 1 more to the serving.Service was outstanding. The noise from the packed bar area was hardly noticeable. I've heard the wood fired pizza is good so we'll haveto go back.

What can you say about $ 4.99 spaghetti and meatballs on Mondays.Sauce is good, not too sweet, meatballs are tasty. Pasta was well drained and did not dilute the sauce.Service is good, although did my waitress sleep in that shirt?The atmosphere was ok, could be freshened up. You will see me there again. The lasagna was good, nice size, Italian sausage was bland which is typical for restaurants in general.

We have not had one thing that was bad from here! We have tried their garlic breads, regular pizza, chicken finger pizza, wings, fingers, pastas, meatballs, sausage and even get their quart of sauce on occasion when I'm in a jam and NOTHING has ever been bad. Only problem I have with this place is its all take out. I would have given it 4 stars because of that but I wanted to just review the food and people and everyone is super friendly, professional and helpful! We eat from there at least twice a month is not more. My teenage boys eat from there at least twice a week.

Rocco’s wood-fired pizza at 5433 Transit Rd in Williamsville is a must if your in the Amherst-Williamsville NY area. Consistently an outstanding menu and exceptionally friendly, attentive service EVERY time I’ve gone. Rocco’s has so many great Menu options and has so much to offer you really have to walk in to understand. This is a Brick oven Pizzeria that has a beautiful back bar & lounge area, has private party rental area I would absolutely recommend, offers dine in casual or fancy, is a Great place to watch a sporting even ( every corner ), AND has a take out wing with Brick ovens assigned just to that effort ... oh an don’t forget the desserts and cookies!If you have not visited yet I will reinforce what I hear the locals say about the Artisan Pizzeria GEM in Williamsville NY ... Rocco’s is Great!

Carmines

Reviewed By johnsA3073BZ

05/19/18 Time for our monthly dinner group to try the new Carmines, the original restaurant had a devastating fire at another location. It was well known and had also won some Taste of Buffalo awards.We were seated almost immediately with our reservation of 14. The waitress was excellent.In the end She also provide our couples with separate checks.The food was of high quality but I am not sure if it warranted the price level for Italian.As an aside I thought the red sauce was a bit to heavy and on the sweeter side. Of course this is always to tasteWarm bread and a salad are included.I had the Chicken Marsala with a side of rigatoniMy wife had the Antipasto.I am always leery of higher prices and what I expect. Especially Italian. The bar becomes very high.The group did enjoy their dinners so give it a try.

A really good Italian restaurant masquerading as a take out pizzeria. Courteous, attentive servers always great. The menu is the full compliment of the usual few frills Italian food. A good selection of alcohol as well as soft drinks. Great for eat-in pizza as well. Comfortable unpretentious atmosphere. Campobella's is an excellent choice for eat-in Italian or for take out pizza.

Aroma on N. French

Reviewed By Baw55

We have eaten at Aroma on North French for special family dinners and also a couple of lunches. The food is consistently delicious--with a focus on fresh and authentic Italian dishes. Service is friendly, relaxed, and helpful - atmosphere is open and attractive. The prices are somewhat high, but they run a good Happy Hour special. We will definitely be back sometime soon.

Falletta's Restaurant

Reviewed By Yogie3

We celebrated our anniversary at Faletta's and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed drinks on the patio on a beautiful summer afternoon! We both ordered the Veal Parmigiana, which is hand cut here. It was delicious! The portions were large, so we had leftovers for dinner the following day. Our server, Brandon, was excellent; his timing was impeccable! Our only suggestion would be to replace the rolls with a tiny loaf of bread. We did not have room for the cannolis, but they are on our list for next time!
