Angeline is not just another fine dining restaurant... it's an experience, and one you won't want to wait to have again. From the moment we arrived and Carly greeting us with a smile and confident elegance, everything just kept getting better. My husband and I sat at the bar and Jack was more than gracious and educated to answer all the questions we had about the wine list, cocktails, menu, etc. We were never rushed or felt in the way and honestly, were treated like regulars. Drinks, food, service, atmosphere, presentation.. everything Angeline is doing is 10/10. I'm so happy to see this gorgeous building back in use, and I know that Angeline has a bright future ahead. Congratulations to everyone involved in this beautiful restaurant, we cannot wait to be back. Ordered: Dirty martinis, recommended bottle of white, Carpaccio, Crudo, a light buttery sage pasta to share, Dover Sole, Elk, espresso martini. read more

I really miss Tempo, but Angeline's a fantastic alternative. They remodeled the place and made it more functional. Our appetizers Japanese eggplant, meatballs, and mussels were good size and delicious. My filet was outstanding, melt in your mouth tender and delicious. My wife had the lobster over spaghetti and it was fantastic. For desert, the olive oil cake with orange gelato was surprisingly delicious and not too sweet. Definitely a restaurant for special occasions or you want to impress a date with the beautiful restaurant. Must dine in Buffalo. read more

Beautiful old timey classic restaurant has been here for years.. The new restaurant has been open about five months, I'm guessing, as of today, 9/16. I was one of the first tonight, so it's quiet. I sat at the bar for dinner but gave up my seat for a couple who came, I didn't want to see him standing behind or to her side. There was no problem getting a seat in the dining room. Staff were very accommodating. When at the bar, I tried a "Capo" cocktail gin based vermouth drink well made. For my dinner, I enjoyed the Casoncelli, which is beef in a ravioli style pasta in a light butter sage sauce, not overwhelming in sage but good. The charred broccolini was the veg fire roasted it seemed that there was olive oil in it as well. A glass of Sicilian Rosado was enjoyed it was the best rose I believe I ever had. Dessert was a Panna Cotta was creamy with flavorful tiny berries the names of them escape me. Good, but it didn't have a wow factor perhaps I was too stuffed to appreciate the dish. I will definitely return with friends to try menu variations. read more

So you are reading this thinking "food cant be that good, we're in Buffalo, NY", right? WRONG THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. Some of the best tasting food, presentation, service, that I have had in a while. We went with my family of 6 and ordered the Oysters and 3 pasta dishes to start. The cacio pepe was reminiscent of my favorite NYC dish from Via Carotta. The other 2 pastas were phenomenal. For entrees, the steak and branzino dishes are unrivaled. The waitress performed table-side additions before serving: oil on the steak, filet the branzino, etc. (blonde waitress, forgot her name but she was awesome). 10/10, recommending to all friends and family read more

This was a hard reservation to get into but well worth the wait. This newest latest greatness restaurant in Buffalo did not disappoint. The wine list was extensive and probably the best that I have seen to date in Buffalo. The manager's attention to detail is apparent. The food was absolutely delicious and portions are perfect size. The ambience was very nice and for those who can't get in for dinner yet I would suggest just stopping in for a cocktail or a nice glass of wine at the bar. You will not be disappointed. read more

We tried Angeline on Saturday night after trying for a couple weeks to get a reservation at a reasonable time. While other reservations were available over the last few weeks, they were either at opening time or very late (post 10 p.m.). After dining there, I can see why. There are very few tables inside. They currently have a covered patio, which adds table. I hope they will enclose with more than a shade and add some heaters (if they do not already have those). We sat inside at a two-top in the front room, and it was uncomfortable. The tables are on top of one another. You cannot help but be in the conversation of the tables next to you. It's hard for the servers to get to the tables and for diners to get to their seats without asking others to move their chairs. I don't remember it being this tight at Tempo, its predecessor, but perhaps some thought could be given to this. The food itself was good, and our servers were friendly. We particularly enjoyed the prosciutto appetizer and the potato gnocchi. The cocktail list was small and did not appeal to me. So, I had a glass of the Prosecco rose that was tasty. My husband had the house manhattan, which was good not great. The decor is lovely and gives off a cross between an art deco and 70s living room vibe. After hearing diners seated around me, the consensus seemed to be good food but uncomfortable quarters. read more

Fine Northern Italian dining. Have been here three times. The filet of sole is a signature dish. Prepared table side. Excellent. The steaks are amazing. Pasta dishes are not like a pasta house. Each better than the next. The service and decor are 5 star. This is truly a fine dining experience. Without doubt one of the 3 top restaurants in Buffalo. read more

Heard great things about this place so my wife and I decided to give it a try for date night on Friday. It exceeded our expectations, as everything was perfect. First, the food. In a word, everything we had was delicious. We started the meal with the Polpette and eggplant appetizers, which were both excellent. That was followed by their Tomato salad special which was huge. And finally, the main course: Bucatini for my wife and the Saffron Tagliolini alla Chitarra for me. The pasta was melt in your mouth light, and both were bursting with flavor. And the portions of both were sizable and filling. Dessert was a carmelized peach special shared between us. Second, was the service. Our server/sommelier, Genevieve, was both knowledgeable and attentive. Her cocktail (the House Manhattan) and wine recommendations were spot on. Despite the fact that the restaurant was full, everything was served quickly and we wanted for nothing. Last, but not least, is the atmosphere. Angeline's is in the historic Delaware Avenue section of Buffalo, so you are surrounded by history. We made our reservations last minute, so all that was available on a Friday night was the newly opened patio. Despite the occasional street noise, we were able to freely converse and enjoy our meal. Next time we intend to eat in the main dining room, which has a great "Cotton Club" jazz club kind of vibe. Bottom line, yes, Angeline's is pricey, but given the quality and quantity of the food, the service, and the atmosphere, it is worth every cent. This is not the place to go for a quick meal, but if you are looking for a relaxing evening with your significant other, family, or clients, put this restaurant on the top of your list. Thank you Angeline's, we will be back! read more

The ambiance is really pretty, the chicken is super good and juicy , as well as the pork chops. Branzino is really good and a little charred at the top which was so yummy. The service was great and one of the waitresses were very patient with my table. read more

Angeline - The bar - Italian Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Food was great - pasta portions range from small (5 2-inch culurgiones) to medium (~1 cup gemelli). Delicious though, and great to have another restaurant that makes fresh pasta!! Sides and antipasti are large - 1 plate for 2 people. All delicious as well!! Service is nice, but a bit too formal at times (start with drinks menu and wait 10 minutes after drinks to bring food menu). Ambiance is nice - beautiful building and nice decor. Music is a bit loud. Interesting mix of diners - half seem to get the vibe, and the other half don't (dressed like it's the beach, smell like they've not showered). Tables are all extremely close together inside, so hopefully you're next to a good group! read more

I celebrated my birthday here with family this week and it was fantastic. Dover sole was wonderful & plated table side. Cocktails were sublime & the bartender adjusted what we wanted perfectly to reflect our individual tastes. The dessert was delicious, the celery root appetizer was salty, the preserved lemon & broccolini appetizer was spectacular! My only issue was a long wait time to be seated even though we had a reservation; there was no room at the bar - people were standing 3 deep. read more

Service was excellent, our waiter earned a$200 tip that was very appropriate. The food was very good. I had heard from a regular from Hutch's, that also owns this restaurant that the food was a bit pricey - but not as good as Hutch's. My opinion, food is a bit pricey, so don't forget to bring your bank, but the food was excellent. I've eaten there when it was Tempo, and the atmosphere was a little different. Great location, near downtown Buffalo. The tables were a bit close, which reminded me of the old Hutch's, but the ceilings were high, and you didn't feel like you were having a front role seat, listening to the nearby table's conversation. The portions were plenty, as nobody ordered dessert , except for me. I got my dessert to go Last point, the broiled oysters were amazing as well as its presentation. Overall, our group had an enjoyable evening and I would highly recommend. Hutch's is still my favorite go to, and when people from around the world visit Buffalo, always in my top 3 recommendations, but Angeline has the potential. I'll have to visit a few more times to let you know. read more

Amazing food and exceptional service! The ambiance is the best in Buffalo, incredible vibe! If you haven't been to Angeline, you are missing out! read more

I took my partner to Angeline for their birthday dinner. My first thoughts were, 1. It was hard to find in the dark (I didn't see a sign) and 2) cool, cozy ambience inside. The hostess was on the phone for a bit and didn't acknowledge us for a good minute (part of the missing star on the review). One other detail that rubbed my partner and I the wrong way was the demographic of the guests...very "real house-wives"of Buffalo-esque, which was a bit intimidating, but ofcourse didn't impact our meal. I also thought their cocktail list was a bit too pretentious, so I got a nice glass of sav blanc. The hostess gave my partner a birthday card which was a nice little touch. We got the beef tartare bruschetta for the appetizer which was very good. For the entree, we split the branzino and the gnocchi. The branzino was really good; it was different - not too fishy, a nice charcoal flavor. The short rib gnocchi was also very good, albeit a little small if someone were just having that as a meal (but our server did tell us that the pasta dishes are shareable). Our server was fantastic - they were very attentive and outgoing. We don't get dessert but just coffee and cappaucino to finish off the meal which was a good choice since we were stuffed. Overall, Angeline is very good. I would come back if I wanted a fine dining experience where I am expecting to pay a pretty penny, but trust that I will have a delicious meal and nice experience. read more

My wife and I had a very pleasant experience early New Year's Eve for our first visit to Angeline. I wanted to send a special shoutout to Ms. Gregory, who acted as hostess and culinary air-traffic controller. She handled the rush and conflicting demands of this busy night with grace and aplomb. She made us feel special. It made our experience better by an significant level. Thank you, Ms. Gregory. We look forward to our second visit to Angeline soon. Charles A. read more

Expectations were high going in having been a big fan of Tempo previously. Angeline delivered an exquisite culinary experience from start to finish. From high quality fresh pasta to the decadent veal chop. I love the modern updates to the interior and service was great. read more

Spectacular service. Kristina was outstanding. Personable, knowledgeable and attentive. We really enjoyed our evening more because of her. She really was above and beyond. The wine suggestion was also perfect. Thank you! read more

The place looks great. This is my third time there. If I go back it will be for drinks at the tiny bar. Btw, the bar is too small for ppl to have dinner. I'm on my way home and I feel sick. The food is not good and it's expensive. They like to say NYC prices. They must not go to NY. read more

Bring back Tempo...this menu is terrible, service is sub-par and the chairs on the patio are the absolute worst...the last thing Buffalo needs is another crappy Italian restaurant read more

Food and service were excellent. Beautiful atmosphere .. staff was more then helpful! Doesn't disappoint

Utterly disappointed with Angeline's. Starting with dress code listed on website and then to see jeans and sneakers abound in the place. Just went downhill from there. Food wasn't anywhere near worth the the price. Little gem salad to salty and over dressed. Veal saltimbocca was not even average. Son's dinner had over done pasta. We loved Tempo when it was there and hoped Hutchinson would be able to repeat it. It's a very pale shadow of it. My advice is to save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Very very cute inside. They decorated super nicely and it's a very cozy vibe. The patio is really nice and if today was better weather I'm sure we would have sat outside. The wine list is incredible-- tons of choices. Had the pork chop, which was ok. A bit charred for my liking, but overall a good experience! Our waitress Genoveve was very attentive and service was incredible. read more

Not rushing back To put everything in perspective, Tempo was my favorite restaurant in Buffalo. I never minded paying top dollar for quality food and service. Recently visited Angeline which has taken over the site. First of all the remodel is great. They moved the bar to the back dining room and upgraded the porch, steps and installed an elevator for access to the second floor private dining rooms. Service was top notch, rivaling Lombardos. Sitting for dinner the server advised what new additions were on the menu from the old Tempo fare. Fantastic...not so much. Remember, the filet, sitting on a bed of wilted greens , wrapped in prosciutto, with the gnocchi, perfectly cooked. I always thought that was one of the best steaks in town, although it could be a little salty at times, 8.5 out of 10. Kiss the garlicky greens, and gnocchi goodbye. Substitute crumbs of cauliflower and a couple of button mushrooms on a overcooked filet. At best a 6/10 . I could not find the wine list on line but did note the hefty $50.00 corkage fee when I booked my reservation. Word to the wise, bring a good bottle from home and pay the corkage. The wine list is huge but outlandishly marked up, with the higher end wines marked up 200-300%. I ended up putting out $199.00 for a $50.00 bottle of wine. The restaurant suggests wearing a jacket for men and a dress for the ladies. I saw allot of jeans and some Cosby sweaters. That's fine for Applebee's, but when I am dropping close to 5 bills for a dinner for two I expect little better dress code enforcement. I am never a fan of people who eat at the bar but so be it. However, if only have six seats at the bar don't let 10 people gather there. All in all, they are just getting the kinks out. I will give you them another chance before sadly writing them off, but I am not rushing back just yet. read more

We have been going to Angeline every second month since they opened as the atmosphere is wonderful, the cocktails are exquisite, the dishes well-prepared and served, and the menu was (!) interesting. After six six-month hiatus, we returned and were severely disappointed. The drinks, service, and atmosphere are still excellent, but the menu changed to boring standard fare and the prices increased significantly. For example, a wonderful seafood entrée was the whole bronzini on a bed of spinach. It's replaced with a sole which is also perfectly prepared and served, but comes without any greens or potato. The Bronzini was $52 including vegetables, the sole now is $62 and a side of Broccolini adds another $22. All other entrée prices increased by 15-20% and several other interesting choices disappeared. The interesting appetizers, like red beets, squash tempura, beef tartar, and others are gone. The tuna tartar used to be interestingly seasoned and nicely packed in a bowl shape, now it floats unappetizing flat in a dish. The crackers with it used to be hand and bite-sized, not a plate-sized cracker covering the dish. We will return for drinks, but not for dinner. read more

We were extremely disappointed in this dining experience from the service to the food, awful all around. When we were seated we were given a cocktail menu and a wine menu no food menus. After the waitress visited our table twice asking for drink orders we finally had to ASK for food menus. We ordered pasta dishes as main courses given that it is an Italian restaurant. The gemelli pasta came with a red sauce which was globs of tomato paste at best - no flavor whatsoever. The other pasta dish was the mafaldine with stewed rabbit. The dish was quite good until we tasted the pieces of pink pickled carrot which were so sour/acidic it ruined the dish. Who on earth puts pickled carrot with a creamy pasta?? Gross. The topper was the basque cheesecake. It came black burnt on top with the rest of the cake spilling onto the plate, completely unset, undercooked. Gross. Oh and when we were ordering after dinner drinks we realized we both had different menus! When we pointed this out to the server she brushed it off and said they will have whatever we order....huh? I cannot believe this place calls itself fine dining. Terrible service, terrible food. Never going back. read more
