We were given one thing of bread which was about 2 half loafs that were never refilled, it also took forever to get water refilled. I orderd penne alla vodka and received linguine instead with no explanation or warning, another person also received a different pasta instead of penne. Overall, the food was fine, it just took forever and was not exactly what was ordered. The tables around us who had 2 or 3 people also had to wait a while for their food, so it wasn't just that we had a larger party.

I took my son there for lunch the other day, and we were warmly welcomed by the owner, who as it turns out, I knew from his previous restaurants stops. I hadn't seen him in about 15 years, but I recognized him instantly. Great service, polite and courteous staff, and delicious fresh food, are my initial reactions. I was surprised how good the San Franco pizza was! I also had a bowl of Pasta Fasola which was outstanding. I live in the city of Buffalo between Delaware and Elmwood and there are many pizza places around here, plus, I grew up on Bocce on Bailey pizza. However, the Forno Napoli pizza now ruins all others for me. I have never been to Italy, but I imagine this is what pizza is like there. Authentic and fresh. I'm taking all 3 of my kids back there tonight. Trying their salads and pasta as well. This place was very busy on a weekday at 4pm, so it is not a secret. It is also not cheap. You are paying for the quality of the food, and it is worth it.

It looked fantastic. But when I asked his rating, he gave it 6/10 stars. However, I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like cheese so take it with a grain of salt I was torn between the Bianca and Quattro pizza so I asked the kind man at the register for his suggestion; he said the Bianca is more popular so I went with that. I enjoyed my pizza, although I wouldn't order this one again. I do want to say that it is pricey but you will get a very big pie of great quality. The dough was excellent! It was actually my favorite part and I've never said that about any pizza! Atmosphere is extremely casual. There's fruit infused waters to have and you go and grab them yourself (back right corner). But you can order bottles of soda, alcohol, etc. Also in the back right corner are small pizza boxes for leftovers you can grab if needed. When you cash out, be sure to enter your phone number for the rewards program!

They had patio seating during our visit. We made reservations and arrived early. They were able to seat us right away which was nice. Service was wonderful throughout. Our server was very helpful in explaining the offerings. They also came over multiple times to clean up our table and bring new plates for each course. The food was so good! I can't stop thinking about the penne ala vodka we ordered. The portions are large and meant for sharing, but my husband and I both agreed we want our own orders next time. It was that good! The mozzarella sticks had a huge cheese pull. The chicken Parmesan was so crispy and saucy, absolutely delicious. Everything was enjoyable and picture perfect. I had high expectations and they were blown away. I'd recommend making a reservation as they seemed very busy, wouldn't want to risk it by just walking in.

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, I had a very nice "Old Fashioned". We started with two dozen oysters. We received a couple of bad ones and they were promptly replaced with four new ones. I had the NY Strip and asked for "medium rare". The steak arrived and was perfectly cooked and had a very nice char on it. The steak was very flavorful and juicy. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was laid out nicely and there was plenty of space for our large group. Overall, I would say Giancarlo's will be a must visit, for when I'm in Buffalo.
