    Pork Ragu sauce over rigatoni
    Robert H.

    Start with the appetizers, the meatballs and the warm bread which you had to pay for that was three dollars. I mean entrée was the pork Ragu over rigatoni. The food was very good. The service was excellent outstanding very attentive. It was very busy. It's kind of noisy in there. It's very open. I'll go back.

    Spaghetti & Meatballs
    Marissa M.

    Love Tappo! The service is always supreme!! I just have the absolute lowest threshold for spice on the planet and thought that the meatballs were a little too spicy but I'm probably the only person who thinks that lol. Food is always quick and delicious. Best cozy comfy ambiance. And that sandwich could feed a family!

    Banana peppers
    Elayna H.

    Came for drink and dinner before sheas. The espresso martinis had a spritz of lemon, which I've never seen, and were SO good! I also ordered the stuffed banana peppers and they were perfection. Some of the best tasting and most beautifully presented I've ever had. Tons of parking and a quick 5 minute walk to the theater

    Outdoor decorations

    One of my favorite spots to grab a meal before a production at Shea's. Great walking distance to the theatre, but more importantly service that assures your meal can go at the pace you desire, and the food is always great - I like to think of it as "lighter Italian." Best part, always $18 bottles of house wine Pleasantly surprised to walk in to some beautiful holiday decorations and decor already in full effect - very festive.

    this was the bartender

    One-star nightmare. The bartender spent more time flirting with a customer than paying attention to anyone else in the room. He seemed like he was on some sort of drugs. We waited over 30 minutes just to place an order, and then another 20 minutes to pay the bill--no sense of urgency, no apology, just indifference. The glass we were served was dirty, leaving a gritty film on the rim. Our drinks tasted awful, and my friend's beer was ruined by a spoiled lime floating in it. To make matters worse, we waited 30 minutes after ordering our food only to find out the order never went in at all. A complete breakdown in service from start to finish. I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent meal or decent service.

    If you have the opportunity I would highly recommend enjoying the Igloo dining experience. You get great views of the city and it's such a cool unique experience. They give you a bottle of wine , bread, salad, chicken Cutlets, gorgonzola pasta,rigatoni and a trio of desserts and a peppermint spiked hot chocolate to go with.Everything was hot , tasty and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. I definitely had a great time and experience and will be back to try this again.Have also had their spaghetti and meatballs downstairs in the past and it's very tasty too.

    Visiting Buffalo for a work conference. I saw some good reviews of Tappo so I walked over & sat at the bar for dinner. Good sized bar with plenty of seats & open windows. Enjoyed a Caesar salad & lasagna for my entree. Bartender was friendly & attentive. I highly recommend!

    The igloo dinner is a must.You get a bottle of wine, bread, salad, rigatoni, chicken cutlets, gorgonzola pasta, dessert trio and a spiked Peppermint hot chocolate to top it off.With speedy service and a smile the food came in hot and delish.This experience has great scenery and should not be missed.I will definitely make a return visit.Have also dined downstairs and the spaghetti and meatballs is marvelous.

    Stuffed Banana Peppers, Spaghetti & Hand-Made Meatballs
    Cheeku K.

    The stuffed peppers are my absolute favorite! They are always good! The other food can be a hit or a miss for me, sometimes the pasta specials are incredibly delicious. The vibes are really fun, very lively! The service is great- very helpful!

    We did the rooftop igloo dinner with 8 of us! It was actually quite nice! You get to pick two bottles of wine, two entrees, and desserts all in advance before we even got there. Don't was awesome having everything set up for us. It was definitely a little chilly, since it was 25 degrees outside, but the little heater and the body heat from everyone made it bearable. Couldn't have got above 60-65 degrees. We all dressed warm and were comfortable. Jackie was our server and she was great, accommodated to our needs. The food was awesome and everyone was full afterwards! The meatballs were probably the best meatballs I've ever had. I would recommend trying the rooftop bar if you're looking for a fun experience!

    How warm is it inside the igloos?

    Very warm; you get a cold burst when the waitress comes in but the rest of the time it's warm.

    Is there a charge for eating in a igloo?

    No, it was too cold this time but will be back

    Has anyone tried the igloo dining?

    You will need to call them ahead of time and get a group of 8 together I believe. They have a person who does all the bookings for it if you call them, they are pretty helpful in answering your questions as it may have changed this year.

    Is the rooftop wheelchair accessible?

    Unfortunately it is not.

There was a steady number of people coming in for dinner while I was there. The owner/bartender was super cool and helpful when it came to picking out a quick bite. I ended up trying the chicken pintxo and I had a charcuterie board as well. I'm not as much of a drinker anymore but they had such a great selection of wines here that I would have been able to choose from a wide variety. The chicken pintxo was great. It had a really good flavor. The skewers were shorter which was nice to try to get the food off. The bread was great and they were a really great bite. The charcuterie board had the usual components and I ate it quickly before I could get the photo, but it also had sour patch gummy bears on it which was incredibly cool. I was happy with the cheddar, brie, and assorted meats but the gummy bears made it unique and fun. I will definitely be coming back here to try more of the menu next time.

While the covering does a great job of shielding you from the sun, we discovered that it's not quite sufficient for heavy rain. We ordered a bottle of Montepulciano--a bolder, pleasant wine that paired wonderfully with the stuffed mushrooms and charcuterie board we selected. Although the menu listed the wine as a 2015 vintage, we received a 2019 bottle. The bartender was courteous about the mix-up, and we decided to stick with the 2019. The charcuterie board comes in three sizes, and we opted for the medium one. If you're unsure about the portion sizes, I've included a picture with this review. The charcuterie was an excellent choice, with the olives and cheeses being particular standouts. We also enjoyed the sausage-stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious. Overall, this is a lovely and comfortable place for light snacks and drinks. We look forward to returning in the future.

I was quite skeptical given I was a Panos regular, that served the same cuisine formerly at the same location. I'm not going to lie, I was intimadated by the menu prior to going. But that quickly went out the window,lol. First off, this place is gorgeous!! Pink and gold everywhere, with gold velvet booths!! Definetly a vibe !! The waitress was very down to earth and was well informed about the menu. She explained Mira had a small plate concept, they encourage to order a course from each section to share. I'm not going to lie, each dish was phenomenal!! No exaggeration!! And we were actually full afterwards. One friends ordered humus, I have never been a fan. However, that warm and fluffy naan with the perfectly blended humus ( i'm a texture girl) paired with the onions, spices, and oil !!! I was surprisingly pleased!! And my friends said don't sleep on that chicken thigh and i agree!! Beautifully grill chicken seasoned to the T, covered in onions and peppers laid tasty yougurt sauce. Honestly i could go on and about each dish we tried because it was just that good. Overall, I'd 100% recommend Mira, it is definetly worth the making the reservation. I would just say be open minded, ask questions as needed and get ready for an amazing culinary experiance. Great service, food comes out quickly and amazing great drink. It can get a little pricey but it is soooooooooooooooooo worth it !! I promise !!!

The restaurant was quite busy, getting busier as we enjoyed our dinners. I am glad we had an early reservation. I might have missed this note on the menu or website, but there is a credit card usage surcharge. Luckily some of our party had enough cash.

It is a top notch restaurant that uses high quality and fresh ingredients and adds gourmet touches that are higher end but still work for the Buffalo crowd. And the portions are usually generous. I like it here but a lot of the menu options don't work for my diet. So when I come it's for someone else's occasion but it's still very much a treat. I will say that the staff is always accommodating and helpful to ensure I find something to eat. Most recently I was able to enjoy a delicious special that was grilled prawns with mescaline and vinaigrette, supremed oranges and grapefruits and artichoke hearts filled with herbed goat cheese. It was delicious and filling enough I was able to eat it as my main. The flavors were unique and blended well together. I was full but it was still light. The herbed goat cheese stuffed artichokes were delicious and a real treat. I'd hope to have them another time. The citrus fruit touches were a nice contrast to the richness of the cheese.
