I am very picky when it comes to Italian cuisine! I always give every new place a chance. Bella Ciao delivered! The ambiance was amazing with a baby grand piano in the corner playing music. The staff and service knew the menu completely. The best part of the night was the pasta. It is the best pasta I have had since I visited the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy 2 years ago. I can see this place being a frequent restaurant in my list. read more

I ordered the Lobster Mafalde and my date order the Chicken Parmigiana , both dishes were a amazing and the cheese garlic bread was done so well it almost puts you in the mind of a small pizza. Beautiful upscale atmosphere, the server was sweet and attentive even the manager came over to check on us and make sure our first experience there was to our liking. I would highly recommend. Great for a nice date night or a dress up birthday dinner. read more

Food was amazing and service was great (we had Brittany as a waitress). Red sauce definitely on the tangier side rather than sweet! Definitely get the arancini and the braised short rib soup to start. Entrees were so so good, we will be back read more

Bella Ciao - Italian Near Me - Buffalo, New York

The dining area is nice. Food was very good. Service was also good. A little expensive for what we got, but to be expected from a restaurant connected to a hotel. read more

Our server Kenzie was very kind and personable. She made our visit very special. The food was also great. Would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

My experience was absolute rubbish I see my waiter two times and we ordered waited so long been here since 5:15 and it was close to 7 it's insane one of the waiters say it's fine dining and we understand but people who were seated after us and they got their food way before us it's insane how people wanna work in customer service and have absolutely none I believe the waiters name is Megan I don't write reviews but they honestly made this experience so bad 10/10 don't recommend !!!!!!!!!!! read more

The food was delicious as always! Our server did a great job taking care of our table. The only issue was the flies - we had multiple flies flying around us the entirety of our meal. I get it happens, however, there were many flies flying around us and landing on our food and party. We were swatting at flies for a majority of our dinner and it was pretty gross seeing as we were inside and there were no tables outside so it's not like the doors were being opened frequently. It was a bit disappointing because it definitely hindered the experience. read more

Food is amazing! The homemade pasta is outrageous And our waitress Ashley R was so welcoming! A must try place!!

Service was very slow. Several of our orders were cold (party of 18). Food was average and the menu was limited.

My wife and I will definitely be back but next time we will make a reservation. Our server Jennifer was one of the best we ever had. The food was good! My spicy margarita was not but the Paloma Jennifer recommended made up for it. After the manager came at the end to see how everything was we noticed that she was helping serve food to other tables and clean and set tables! Team work! The casual fine dining suits Bella Caio! We will definitely be back! read more

Stayed at the hotel and decided to dine in here. Some amazing service and great vibe. Lovely host seated us followed by our server meghan Fun talks, great food and atmosphere. Breaded artichokes were a favorite recommendation from meg. read more

The service was absolutely wonderful. From the host, bartender and waiterss, everyone was so friendly and attentive. the ambiance is beautiful. clean minimal modern design. very relaxing instrumental playlist. The food comes in large portions in my opinion which is well worth the money. as far as taste, very fresh ingredients used. I had the pesto pasta with chicken. i enjoyed my solid dinner and will be back again. read more

Michaila D was our server and our experience was wonderful! This was our first time here and the atmosphere was lovely and the food was delicious! read more

Nice atmosphere. Salads and soups were excellent. Stay away from chicken Marsala. Michaela was a wonderful waitress. read more

Been here a few times now. Food is very good and most dishes are unique in some way from boring old Italian. Service is always top notch! If I could change in thing, I would turn the music down a bit. But if that's the only thing I have to complain about, I'd say they are doing really well! read more

Food was ok. If the pasta was homemade, it wasn't done well. My guess, it was not homemade. The service was poor. Still eating salads when main course came out. Then salad plates never cleared. Lasagna was burnt. We ordered a bottle of wine and the server spilled every pour. Just not a great experience. We went because it is new and read previous reviews. Those reviews were not accurate. I can't imagine we will return read more

A great ambience with a mouth watering food. The pasta was excellent must try!!!!!!.Overall the place was fantastic.

Food was fair and they had a Bills Backers party going on that was so loud we asked to be moved to the back of the restaurant and we could still barely hear. Waitress was excellent though, and wine was good. read more

Excellent food, and amazing service. From the moment we arrived, our server, Marc, went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. He gave his personal recommendations, breaded roman artichoke as an appetizer, which we ended up ordering and was delicious! Throughout the meal, Marc was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered alfredo fettuccine and eggplant parmigiana. Both were absolutely delicious. Overall the food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and Marc's service was exceptional! We left happy and satisfied. We will definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend and I came for Valentine's day and had an amazing time!! The pastas are AMAZING, and the drinks our to die for. Our server was Bella and she was so sweet and attentive to us, thanks for making sure we had a relaxing night! read more

Great new restaurant. Food was amazing and the service is top notch. Michaila is wonderful and I would return just for her awesome service.

The food was AMAZING, the vibe was meh, it was a loud brunch happening when we went but the food was really really good the lobster pasta was made to perfection. Would go here again, maybe not on a Sunday. The service was so slow but we were compensated for the wait and the manager took care of our drinks. otherwise it was cool. read more

Came in for my birthday dinner, the service was not that great honestly. Was expecting a little bit more of high end service, our waitress Maranda I feel like forgot about us a few times. When you spend a decent amount of money on dinner you except a little bit more. Had to ask for some items a few times. Some of my friends food also came out cold which was disappointing for a 30$ entree. My meal tho was good. Probably won't be coming back unfortunately. read more

Excellent Italian food and great service! I highly recommend the chicken parm (bomb tomato sauce) and ricotta donuts for dessert.

Food was amazing and the service was even better. So glad we decided to try it. Michaila D and Isabella were top notch.

Food was amazing, the chef did a great job. The place was very elegant and the staff all around was very welcoming. 10/10.

I forgot to take pictures but our food was great and presented very nicely. The service absolutely fabulous which I feel can be hard to find these days so we really appreciated that. We had a party of six and everyone in our party was satisfied with their food except one person and they quickly took that off of the check and replaced her food as requested which was fabulous customer service. I had a small chopped salad, which was huge, garlic bread, and Alfredo Mafalde which I added grilled chicken and shrimp to and I have no complaints about my food at all. Also, the complementary bread with oil was soooooo good, especially the flavoring in the oil. All in all, I would definitely come back as I really enjoyed the food and service. The only complaint that I have (and I don't even want to call it a complaint) is that they did have a gentleman playing the piano and singing at the front of the restaurant which did add a nice ambiance but it's very loud so it makes it hard to have a conversation, especially across one of the larger tables. read more

Love this spot. We are from North Carolina and visiting family in NY. We had lunch at this beautiful spot. Very soothing atmosphere, cool beautiful decor. Our food was delicious and proportions were very generous. The staff were professional and on point with service and we were welcomed with smiles. Thank you for a very enjoyable lunch. read more

Went to Bella Ciao for lunch with out-of-town guests. I is everything I expected - - cool vibe, great food, wonderful employees. Bella, our server (not the owner! lol), was attentive but not too; Brian, the manager was very hospitable, he even took us on a short tour of the restaurant. The food was wonderful - the artichokes were amazing and the fries were delicious. The portions were way more than adequate. We definitely will be going again, soon. read more

Great! Pasta was terrific, especially the bolognese and the malfade ribbon pasta. Apps were great as well. Highly recommend!

We are staying in the hotel and decided to try the restaurant, we are all disappointed because their foods are too salty. But certainly the servers are good. read more

The food was excellent. Everything from the oil and amazing bread, delicious breaded artichokes, the spaghetti with basil and the added, perfectly cooked meatballs to the tiramisu that was the best we have ever had. All 5 stars. And that includes the service! Get there. Next time we're going to sit on the beautiful patio for a cocktail before dinner. read more

Food was delicious, and the service was awesome. Nice bar, great atmosphere people were very friendly.

Excellent atmosphere, service and food. Great food with nice portions at a reasonable price. Butata Salad is the best I've ever had.

The food was great and so was the service. The only complaint I have is when music is played live at a nice restaurant it should be at a more muted level. read more
