This was my first time trying Zio's, and it lived up to the expectations! It is a small spot with several small tables available, but there were plenty of open spots when we got there on a Saturday night. I ordered the Jenny (converted to a wrap), and my fiance ordered the Junior. These both were fantastic. There are so many menu options, and there's also an option to build your own sandwich/wrap. The Buffalo sports wall art/jerseys are a cool added touch to this great local sandwich spot. Workers were very friendly and service was quick. We will absolutely be back and hopefully be adding this to the regular rotation!

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

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

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.

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

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...

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

10/10 - great variety, good quality ingredients, the rolls are made fresh from a local spot, service is friendly and efficient. The restaurant is spotless and comfortable for dining in, but typically we order takeout. Perfect thing to bring to a Bills tailgate, or pack in a cooler for a summer boat day. Ben and Annie (Zio's husband and wife ownership duo) have done an incredible job with this place!

The Rocco but with a twist I added meatballs to the crispy eggplant sandwich
Jaylen B.

This Rocco sub? It's like Tony Soprano took a break from mobbing to personally whip it up. Lightly fried eggplant, mozzarella arugula roasted peppers and some balsamic vinegar and i used to be a jerkoff by not messing with eggplant or peppers but forget about it this sub changed the game and then I was feeling a little cheeky and slapped some meatballs on there cause why not and don't get me started on the bread it was perfect the customer service excellent and anyone who disagrees and thinks the food is nasty sleeps with the fishes

Weeze - Breaded eggplant, fresh mozzarella & choice of pomodoro OR vodka sauce

Pizza is so delicious. Great Italian style. Customer service is also very good!…read moreWill 100% be coming back.

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 menu has high- end prices but we were not impressed with details. The flatware is cheap and the servers do not place flatware where it belongs when they replace it (training details). The room we were in became really dark after the sun set. When we requested pepper on our salads, Instead of fresh grated pepper, a pepper Shaker was brought to our table (cheesy!). The food was good, service was ok, but for these prices, I expect details to be looked at. That's what separates the excellent restaurants from the good ones. There are so many excellent restaurants in Buffalo, I don't know that we will rush back. It was a good meal and experience, just not great. If I could give a 3.5, thats where this review would land in

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, I had a very nice "Old Fashioned". We started with two dozen oysters. We received a couple of bad ones and they were promptly replaced with four new ones. I had the NY Strip and asked for "medium rare". The steak arrived and was perfectly cooked and had a very nice char on it. The steak was very flavorful and juicy. Service was impeccable. The restaurant was laid out nicely and there was plenty of space for our large group. Overall, I would say Giancarlo's will be a must visit, for when I'm in Buffalo.

First off, the rebuild was great, the food was excellent and the service was exceptional. What I didn't find exceptional was the additional charges for our meals. I ordered a Bourbon Manhattan on the rocks with 3 cherries. The drink was fine, but I was charged extra for a special bourbon which I did not order. For the first time ever, I was charged two dollars for "on the rocks". My grandson ordered a caesar salad which he didn't eat because it smelled fishy. Anchovies, which he did not order, were added to the salad at an additional cost of $3.00. Needless to say I will have to reconsider any additional visits to Amici's.

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!

The restaurant has a very generic modern bar scene vibe with roll up doors and the bar dominating the space. The staff were friendly and promptly directed me to the bar for my take out order, which was mildly delayed. The spaghetti and meatballs were basic. The sauce left much to be desired and a basic jarred sauce is more enjoyable. The shrimp were properly cooked, but the risotto did not shine. The dish lack cohesion and it was as though they cooked rice and tossed it in a flavorless sauce. The accompanying lobster sauce was desperately needed, but underdeveloped. The dish needed significant seasoning improvements.
