Big Gram
Patrick B.

Outstanding lunch spot. The food was so fresh and flavorful, I couldn't stop eating. Combined with the personal, friendly service from the staff, I will be coming back very soon. I highly recommend the Big Gram, the chicken cutlet was perfect.

Stopped back into Zios and I was so happy with my lunch. The subs are just so good. They are fresh and creative and just delicious. The staff is always so welcoming and it's always fun to sit in the window and watch Elmwood while you enjoy your food. This is a must try restaurant if you haven't gone yet. And get a side pasta salad and definitely a chocolate chip cookie!! You won't be sorry.

A good meatball Sandwich with the choice of sauce. Let me ts of meatballs. Service is friendly and fast. A nice neighborhood sandwich shop.

Best Sour Cream and Onion chips I've ever had
Benjamin P.

The Kev sub blew my balls off. FRESH toasted roll, perfectly shaved turkey and ham with THICK slices of cheese. And the subtle avocado spread + aioli set it off. Tomato basil soup was shockingly good too. Guys behind the counter were very kind. I simply cannot wait to come back for a hot sub.

Make Your Own Ham & Roast Beef
Brandon G.

If you're looking for a fantastic sandwich that's sure to satisfy your cravings, look no further than Zio's! I went with the make your own option. I had a regular roll with ham, roast beef, fresh lettuce, onion, and creamy mayo, this sub was an absolute delight to eat. The bread is perfectly toasted, giving it a nice crunch that complements the toppings perfectly. Every bite is packed with flavor, making this sandwich so good and making me wish I ordered two! My wife made her own turkey and raved about how she wishes more places would offer pesto as an option for subs and sandwiches. Go ahead and treat yourself to this delicious sandwich today - you won't be disappointed! I will definitely be back soon.

A Solid Sandwich Not all sandwiches are created equal and that's because Zio's are superior! I ate here for the first time a couple weeks ago and it is now a staple on my list. There are so many sandwiches to choose from that all sound mouth watering that I have no choice but to go back. Thankfully, the worker that took our order was super patient because I literally couldn't decide on a sandwich. I settled on the Pauly which had a solid combination of soppresata (think salami), burrata (think mozzarella), and red peppers. I went there pretty hungry but I still ended up having half of my sandwich left for later. Definitely check them out and take a look at their wall of Buffalo images and relics.

Ordered subs here for pickup. Food was quick. There is some seating inside. They also have side pasta dishes available. Street parking is available. The sandwiches were delicious and very fresh!

I heard so much hype about this new sun shop and was so excited to try it! I suggested it to my husband one day for his lunch, and he really enjoyed the sub he got. So I ordered it one day for lunch- being that sandwiches/subs are mr favorite lunchtime meal, I was really looking forward to trying it. Maybe bc I door dashed it, it was that great? But I was kinda let down by the lack of substance to the sub. I found there was more bread than goods. It was flavorful, but just not what all it was hyped up to be. Maybe ordering in is better? I might try it...

Proper buffalo style chicken cutlet sandwich. Had to try some classics while in Buffalo.

The service in this place was great. The sub was good, but I think that the bread company they deal with could do better. The ambiance was regular

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.

From the outside, the restaurant was inviting, with a clean and nicely kept outdoor seating area. The inside was equally pleasing, with a full view of the pizzas being prepared!

On the menu for this visit: Panzanella Salad, a half-pepperoni/half-sausage pizza, and Affogato. The Panzanella was beautiful in presentation and tasted just as good. Firm, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, red onions, crostini, and dressing that all complemented each other perfectly. Refreshing and delish! The Affogato...AffoMazing!! Such a simple combination: espresso and vanilla gelato/ice cream, but goodness!! Sometimes simple is all you need. Now, the : At first, I was getting ready to be unimpressed. But NOPE! I haven't been to Italy in a little while, but this pizza was freaking close, if not spot-on, when it comes to authenticity! Brick-oven baked with a light crust, chunky real tomato sauce (forgot to ask if it was home-made), just the right amount of cheese, and REAL pepperoni and sausage. And did I mention...very little grease?! The taste was light, fresh, and not overly filling, just right! Overall, Forno Napoli was a fantastic choice! Great atmosphere, warm service, fresh food, and pizza that brought back a little taste of Italy. Definitely worth a visit! Ciao

Inviting dining area, good service and tasty, fresh food…read more Rizzos is kind of small inside, but they fix a good job arranging the tables and booths as to not make it feel cramped. They also have bar seating. We visited for a late lunch on a weekday at 2pm as that is the earliest we could get a reservation. We had garlic & pa focaccia and mozzarella sticks to start. Then two of us ordered chicken Parmesan and one of us got eggplant Parmesan. The focaccia arrived warm and had a good flavor to it. It came with oil and balsamic for dipping. The mozzarella sticks were on the larger side and perfectly crisp with their red sauce for dipping. The chicken parm had wonderful cheese blanket atop a large piece of breaded chicken. I loved all of the gooey, stretchy cheese. It was enough for me to have two meals. The eggplant parm was layered like a lasagna, which I have never seen beforey coworker said he really enjoyed it. I topped my meal off with an affogato using their mint chip gelato rather than vanilla. It came with the espresso on the side so I could pour it myself. It was the perfect indulgence to end the meal! I would like to visit again and experience the chef's menu.

Loved it so much we had to plan a visit again while nearby…read more It always feels like a special event when visiting. The vibes are welcoming and upbeat. Excellent service with attention to cleanliness. Our server came through and wiped down the table for us between entrees. Much appreciated. We did the chef's menu this time which came with a ton of food for the price! We got two mozzarella sticks, two meatballs, a full size salad ( with delicious house made blue cheese) and focaccia. This is just the appetizer selection! For entrees, you get a choice of parm (we went with chicken again) a pasta (had to get the vodka pasta again, it's so delicious) , a side (we picked the chimichurri broccolini, and an order of spaghetti. You also get the choice of dessert to finish things off. We left so full with leftovers to take home and enjoy the next day. We brought a cooler to make sure everything made it home safely. Believe the hype, Rizzo's House of Parm is worth it. Make sure to book in advance to secure a reservation.

Absolutely delicious eaten atop their warm Italian thick sliced bread. My entree was one of their specials, mussels over tagliatelle. The spicy sauce not only had a generous number of fresh mussels in their shells but it also included more shelled mussels. The serving of beautifully cooked tagliatelle was ample with a perfect amount of spicy sauce. The service was impeccable and the ambiance casual, just exactly the way I like it.
