    The Pasta Carbonara special.
    Jordan C.

    Love this place! Their food was amazing, meatballs and best pasta I've ever had. And I am not exaggerating. Service was very good and I will be coming back. The ambiance was amazing and an amazing environment.

    BB is a quaint cozy bistro by Kleinhans. The meatballs with ricotta as a starter was spot on! Greek salad also nice. The filet medallions were tasty but too salty. A special, shrimp Thermidor was disappointing, it was shrimp with risotto, shrimp too small and risotto sauce too rich which I didn't eat. Thermidor can only be made as a true recipe with a large lobster tail to be enjoyed. Salmon piccata was delicious but served with the same risotto as the Thermidor. Coconut cake and carrot cake was a win win. Bella our waiter was very accommodating and a pleasure. Nice wine list as well.

    I love Bellini's Bistro. I'm always happy having dinner there. This latest visit was no exception. Everything I ordered wss just fine. The burrata on the current menu it's a delightful take on the caprese salad. The Bolognese is delicious as ever and this visit I opted for the ribeye special. I was not disappointed. But whatever you choose it will be delicious. Service is still eccentric in a good way - Probably Gary cringes when he sees me coming but I really think he's hilarious. If you don't save room for dessert just take something home. Tiramisu makes a great breakfast!

    Excellent dinner with my Daughters. The Girls went for steaks which were outstanding, medium rare as order I had The Carbonara could. Have. Used a tad more meat but very good Service was friendly and fine BTW: Beer and wine only Very attractive place

    So in love with this place! Wonderful staff and of course Chef Mike does not disappoint! Family owned and employed. We want to thank Sue and Chef Mike for making our family dinner anniversary celebration one to remember! They made us feel very special and were so welcoming. Chef Mike went above and beyond with every dish, so flavorful, and we tasted the passion in his cooking, and appreciated his attention to detail! The atmosphere was quaint and intimate, like you would find in a small village in Italy. Service was top notch, we can't recommend this place enough. Thanks Chef Mike and Sue for making our evening so special! PS Bolognese PPS homemade coconut cake

    We had been wanting to go here for awhile. What a Great Place! Cozy neighborhood restaurant with a great atmosphere. They serve beer and wine with a great selection. We recommend their specialty Peach Bellini's. Salads and appetizers were nice portions and very yummy. We enjoyed the Salon and Shrimp Thermidor. Both served with a delicious risotto. Our great server treated us to a taste of their specialty Bolognese dish that is a staple on their menu. It was absolutely delicious and we all agreed we would all order this next time. The Desserts, cappuccinos & espressos were a perfect ending to this delicious meal. They are all homemade. I highly recommend the Coconut Cake!!! We can wait to return here!!!

    Wow. Hands down some of the best pizza we've had…read more We ordered the San Felice Pizza -- San Marzano tomatoes, house-made sausage, sweet and spicy peppers, onion, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil -- and it was absolute perfection. The flavors don't compete... they melt together into one big, perfect masterpiece. The peppers leaned sweet (no real heat), which made them the ideal companion to the delicious sausage. And that sausage? Made in-house and seasoned beautifully, with the perfect amount of fennel -- enough to give it that classic Italian character without overpowering the pie. Perfection! The buffalo mozzarella added creamy richness, the basil kept everything bright, and the San Marzano tomatoes were clean and balanced. We love pizza in all its forms -- New York style and Napoli alike -- but there is something about the rustic goodness of true Neapolitan pizza that has a special place in my pizza-loving heart. That airy, soft center and char-kissed crust from the wood-fired oven is magic. The use of such fresh ingredients makes Forno Napoli my favorite pizza on NY so far - authentic and intentional. There is a lot of love and pride in everything from the handmade crust to all of the toppings. They also serve a garlic butter and cheese dipping sauce for the crust -- indulgent and completely unnecessary in the BEST possible way. That blistered crust dipped in that sauce? Unreal. The cheese? Yes, they have the most beautiful wheel of pecorino they hand grate from to make this happen. No green shaker bottles here! We met Felix, the owner, and he was incredibly welcoming. He has such great energy -- warm, engaging, and clearly passionate. You can tell he's the heartbeat behind the recipes and the success of the business. It feels personal. He made us want to share just how great our entire experience was and he certainly made us want to return. Our only regret? We were too full to try another pizza. Do not hesitate. This truly is a slice of heaven.

The bartenders were all friendly, but Tom was particularly helpful. Checking to mate sure that everything was good and offering suggestions. I ordered steak in au gratin potatoes. He brought me cheese bread that was phenomenal. It was served with butter and some sort of sauce that I didn't try. I got a new york strip that was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The au gratin potatoes were shredded potatoes. They were okay but definitely not what I would have expected at a steakehouse. I would not order them again. They had carrot cake available for dessert and it was delicious.

We ordered a variety of appetizers, and the meatball and Mediterranean platters remain my favorites. You must try their homemade pita--light, airy, and with just the right chew. They absolutely know how to do steak. My side of almond broccolini unexpectedly stole the show. The bright burst of lemon was the perfect complement, cutting through the richness of the mashed potatoes and filet. As for dessert? Hands down, the chocolate mousse cake. If you're getting it to go, be sure to ask for the coffee gelato before you leave--don't miss out on this perfectly smooth, rich treat. Our guests are still talking about their meals!

    I went to Tappo this past Tuesday before a Sabres game with my brother and overall it was a really…read moresolid pre-game dinner spot in Downtown Buffalo. While we had a 5pm reservation, in hindsight it probably wasn't necessary as we were seated right away and quickly greeted by our server, Allie G. To start, I ordered the Apple Cider Mule (mocktail) which was festive and delicious while my brother went for the Logan Mule (so Buffalo). Naturally, we wanted bread (what I thought was a given in an Italian restaurant). Sadly, it was $3 for warm bread, which felt a little rude, but of course I ordered it and devoured it, too! I also started with the mushroom bisque that was on special and it was fantastic as it was rich, flavorful, and the kind of soup you want to eat slowly so it lasts longer. For my entree I chose the Crespelle while my brother got his favorite, the Brasciole. The food was truly the highlight of the evening. Everything was prepared well and very, very satisfying. I would say that the service, unfortunately, left a bit to be desired. Not terrible, but not great. I hate having to ask another server to bring a box, the check, etc. because our server was no where to be found. There is free parking somewhere, though we only noticed the sign for it after we had already paid to park. That said, the atmosphere at Tappo is always lovely and the portions were generous for the price. Of course, I'd absolutely return - especially to try one of their fun igloos someday!

    I am so so picky when it comes to Italian (being married to an Italian who creates his own sauce)…read more But Tappo was wonderful. We went during resturant week and what a steal, $25 got me a casear salad, spaghetti and meatballs with a small assortment of desserts. I also grabbed truffle fries which we a special. THOSE should be a permanent thing. The meatballs were ginormous, they should (and i believe ARE) a meal themselves. My only only gripe is that you have to pay for the bread as an app. But that's just the carb lover in me. With it being restaurant week, it was busy for a Wednesday but our server was on her toes and made sure our drinks were full all the time and everything came out promptly. One thing I want to note, that I did not take advantage of is there is FREE parking as long as there's space. This was true for the day I went, not sure if that is always. But there is a small lot across the street that you can park at. I paid the $6.75 in the ramp that is basically next to the resturant.
