My friend brought the Cacio e Pepe as her favorite local pie to our pizza party, and it hit all the…read moreright notes! Salty and peppery, with that nutty, creamy flavor. She remembered to order it mid-afternoon (thankfully) because otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to get one close to party time. It's pretty clear why this pizzeria has such a great reputation!

This place was average for me so 3 stars it is! Wish I could do maybe 3.5. My 2 major complaints…read moreare the fact that there are no signs outside to tell you where this place is. You have to actually go inside the small vestibule area where prima oliva is to see the carpet for pizzeria Florian. I get that they are so busy that they don't need signs but I felt like it was very odd. Also the cleanliness of the floors was a bit of a turn off. Again, I understand they're really busy and just trying to seat people but if you are wiping the tables it would help to sweep the floors too. With all of that aside I actually REALLY loved the pizza! Of course I order the top choices- Calabrian crunch and the cacio e Pepe. Both were absolutely amazing, full of flavor and delicious crisp of the crust. One of the best pizzas in the area, of this style (not traditional Buffalo). The chopped salad was also good and had a great dressing that definitely tasted like a good quality balsamic vinegar. I would highly recommend both for future guests! Staff are fantastic and really work hard to get everyone's orders taken and food out as quickly as possible!

Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, career promotions, retirement, are all excellent reasons to treat yourself to a meal at Rick's. In the summer months, there's nothing quite like sitting on the outdoor patio overseeing all the activities on Main Street in East Aurora. You get a great glimpse of the Vidler on the roof with his benevolent smile and upraised hand waving at all the traffic. Situated in a grand house, Rick's has dining rooms on two floors in addition to the front porch and the bar area. My top entree choices will always be the Ribeye, Cowboy steak, and anything that features scallops. Treat yourself real soon!

For such an expensive restaurant the entrees were very disappointingly unseasoned. Which may…read moreexplain why a restaurant as expensive as this actually had salt and pepper on the table -- which is rare. Seasoning food after the fact is fine, but never as good as during the preparation. My seabass was tasteless and was sat on top of a mediocre risotto...which is saying something since it was a Gouda and red pepper risotto. Also unseasoned overcooked green beans on the side. Criminal at the price. My husband's giant steak was also under-seasoned as were the sad mashed potatoes and carrots that came along with it. The steak was good quality, cooked fine, but could have been exceptional if it had any flavor beyond being a good piece of meat. The Thai shrimp appetizer was good but if you put Thai chili sauce on anything it will taste good. The scallop was decent but again not really seared well and lacking flavor even with the balsamic drizzle. Would not come back to waste hundreds of dollars on overpriced unseasoned food again. I will say the service was good and the staff were lovely. Too bad the food is mid. Drive to a real restaurant that cares about their food prep like Prescotts provisions or Oliver's or Black Iron bystro. Skip Rick's.

If only those people out on the street knew what they were missing, they would give up their spot in line and join us at this great little restaurant instead! 189 Burger is well known for its expansive beer menu, but we were only interested in the burgers. I was intrigued by the description of the Bang Bang Burger. It came topped with Bang Bang sauce, cheddar cheese and Calabrian butter and crispy onions. Absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the Greek burger, a masterpiece with Tzatziki , lemon ginger, jalapeño, red pepper, chickpea pesto, and pickled red onions, seeded bun! Scrumptious!
