Corn season was in while we were here so we chose the totally unique corn waffle with arugula, chili, mushrooms. Divine. If we hadnt ordered more food we'd have licked the plate. The agnoloti wasnt your normal small hats but rather more interesting ravioli. But who cares it's shape--it was balanced, housemade pasta that made me very happy. The steak had that good crust and it wasnt your average steak house steak. It was as good but with different flavors. A great order.

It's tiny inside, I wouldn't recommend going with a large group, but for our purposes it was perfect. The cocktails were excellent and the bartender took his time preparing them so that they were just right. Prices were reasonable for what you would expect for cocktails as well. The interior was well designed and it had a warm atmosphere. Despite the small space, they've utilized it well and there is plenty of seating.

DJ Jet was doing his thing and although the space is tight there was some room to shake a lil summin. I ordered a blueberry lemon drop from the bar which was delicious and made quickly; I also didn't have to wait long trying to get the bartenders attention to order. Unfortunately the night took a turn when the security guard refused to allow my friend entry. She had a wine glass with wine in her hand so he told her to either drink it or pour it out. She did the former and then called her disrespectful for not walking outside the gate to drink it. He never requested that she do that. She apologized and he still refused her entry despite his lack of proper communication. He was being extremely petty and communicated poorly which ultimately cost them patronage from our group already there and the rest that were en route.

We were waiting at their door at 4 pm so we were unsurprisingly the only people in the dining room…read moreat first. Our server was very engaging and I liked the large bold wall art. The music was a mix of French and English jazzy music. We stared with a bread basket ($6) and it was cold in the center, probably related to our very early arrival. The wine list had plenty of good choices at normal 10-13 dollar per glass prices. My mushroom pappardelle with chicken was beautiful and a large serving. If we weren't traveling I could have taken home a lunch portion easily. My dining partner had salmon salad and he was deeply pleased with his choice. The salmon looked great and he praised the light hand dressing the salad and loved the well balanced maple flavor. Deserts were both very well done. My flourless chocolate cake was dense, dark and served with a powerful raspberry reduction. The other desert was an apricot cake which was very similar to a sticky toffee pudding with a gentle fruity tang. Really good. Overall I enjoyed our meal here a lot but I could imagine an even better experience. Rather than the very large entrees offered A la carte, I would have enjoyed a more manageable serving of pasta and a side salad or a cup of soup. There were multiple fruit and house flies around where we sat which was unfortunate. For what I think is edging into fine dining. I think the value factor here was ok. Our dinner for 2 with bread, 1 glass of wine each and 2 deserts totaled about 125 with tax before tip.

Parking was decent but we went on a Wednesday night so I think it would be rough on a weekend. There was a decent sized lot which was pretty full except for a few spots. However, there is street parking as well. We made reservations and we were sat pretty immediately. I found the service throughout to be top notch. It seems like they have different people for specific jobs (someone taking your order, someone boxing up your food, etc). So things went really smooth. We got: 1. The mushroom soup (a special): one of my favorite things we got. Super creamy and great flavor. 2. Margherita focaccia: this was more like a pizza. Super good but be aware it's really filling and a large portion! 3. The ravioli: our waiter described this an Italian burrito and he was not wrong. It's absolutely massive and I would also compare it to a lasagna. It was a bit intimidating and prepare to take the rest home with you, but still great. 4. Yellow fin tuna (the fish special): the tuna was great, good texture. It came with tempura shrimp which was excellent. The bbq sauce they have under the food was kind of a weird sauce to go with it so that wasn't my favorite. 5. A lavender mocktail: wasn't a huge fan of this because it had a really strong syrupy lavender flavor. Definitely not subtle so just be aware of that. Overall really great experience!

**** We visited…read moreBella Ciao at the Embassy Suites in Buffalo around 7:00 p.m. as a party of five, including two children with special needs. We were in town attending a large national conference for families affected by their condition, and many conference attendees were also staying at the hotel. When we arrived, the restaurant appeared to be about 80% empty. Our children mentioned to the waitress that they were hungry and tired, and the first response we received was, "Do you have a reservation?" She explained that they couldn't seat us because they were expecting a large party. Instead of being seated at a regular table, we were directed to the bar area, where the bartender kindly took care of us despite the fact that our group included two minors. We stayed for over an hour, and during that time, the large party never arrived. Meanwhile, we watched other guests without reservations get seated at tables without any apparent issue. The experience left us feeling singled out and, ultimately, discriminated against. Whether that was the intention or not, it reflected a disappointing lack of empathy and inclusion--especially considering that so many families with children with disabilities were staying at the hotel for the conference. I'm giving Bella Ciao three stars because the food was decent, the portions were generous, and the bartender provided good service. Unfortunately, the way we were treated upon arrival overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

I actually found this restaurant scrolling on yelp. Not sure why it was not a top search. I found this place scrolling. Saw a few reviews and the food presentation was beautiful in photos . I told my husband I was craving a steak of some sort & the local "3 stars " weren't cutting it . This place was already rated well above three , even four stars ! So we took a walk! Upon entering I noticed the "Suzanne " drink" this is my mother's name so of course I had to order ! Just like my mother , the drink did not disappoint! I ordered the steak frites however replaced the frites with salad(I want drinks over carbs - very difficult decision. I know)... not sure what kind of dressing the used but . Wow. I could eat just that salad every night of my life . The steak was cooked to perfect temp as per my request (medium) I personally enjoy the flavor of steak itself but the sauce that had with this.... This brought it to another level . My husband ordered the Porc . I'm not saying we're low class but we are not high class however we do have manners . I have never seen him eat a meal as quickly as he did in the 15 years we have been together . I too took a bite and was impressed by the flavor and the pork not being over cooked . I actually swooped some of his sauce on my steak & this was to die for . My husband & I showed up at 7:50. The restaurant closed at 9. I actually apologized to the server and hostess due to my self eating incredibly slow . Being a former waitress in my 20's I failed to finish my salads despite their encouragement to take my time. The ambiance , service , food , drink was perfect start to finish . This is officially in our line up. Thank you for making my birthday week and most importantly our wedding anniversary special.

We waited about 5 minutes until the bartender acknowledged us (it's a small bar, she was making drinks right in front of us), and she goes "happy hour is still on for another 10 minutes" or something like that.

Something was off with the mussel broth...come to find out, there was licorice flavored liquor in itwhy ruin a good thing! The fries were delicious though. Overall, there are many other places I would go to before here again.

They displayed fresh breads and baked hoods in the front window. They also had cookies to sell. The menu was short and sweet and I ordered items based off of Yelp reviews. We had the Orecchiette alle cime di Rapi with chicken added. Absolutely delicious!!! Chicken moist flavorful. Pasta cooked to perfection yet tasted light. Sauce- a buttery dream. Fresh cheese...just YES! The Tagliata Di Manzo as my meal based off reviews and was so disappointed of the size. However, it was the most juicy flavor packed tenderloins that had me salivating after each bite. Paired with the arugula was a surprise, but it worked and whatever they drizzled this dream in had me never wanting to wake up. We paired our meals with the Quattro Formaggiand can I just say again, smaller than anticipated but Lord have mercy it was like best of every carb on earth wrapped in dough, baked in heaven, then covered in fresh delectable mozzarella, gouda had grana padano.

Most of the things you would never even heard of and the prices did not equate to the food portion size. Now I'm not somebody who's never been to a fine dining restaurant before I've dined everywhere from LA to Hong Kong. That being said, my wife and I decided to give it another shot last night. When we showed up the hostess was really nice. We were seated really quickly, but we looked at the menu and it was very limited. I had never even heard of 90% of the menu before. So I ordered some steak hache. Which turns out is just like a fatty hamburger, for 40 bucks! Not only was the hamburger undercooked, but it was super fatty and almost slimy. The fries that came with it were also waaaaaa too salty. I ended up eating about 1/10th of my meal and then eating some of my wife's tenderloin. I would honestly give this place a negative review if I could.
