Lombardo

We celebrated my Birthday at Lombardo’s last night starting with drinks 🍷 at their intimate bar! Then we were seated for dinner in the beautiful dining room at a stunning table all to ourselves. We ordered the table side presentation Caesar salad 🥗 yum! Our table was decorated with flowers 🌺.Also warm bread 🥖 arrived with butter and sea salt. I ordered the Continental dinner shrimp veal pasta broccolini delicious! Another delicious pasta dish with green sauce was our second order.’ Everyone served us with individual care delightful! Perfect party🎉❤️

Everything is on point here as to be expected, over the last 50 years. You don’t have to worry that anything will be less than top notch. Haven’t been to Lombardos in many years and since leaving Buffalo, I thought would be nice to celebrate here for a birthday dinner. Better than I even remember! Thank you Lombardo family and staff.

Lovely meal from start to finish. We came impromptu on a Thursday evening around 8:30 after a long workday and they were very friendly despite us not having a reservation and able to seat us right away. We started with oysters which were superb, and the house bread. I had the halibut special which tasted very fresh, and my husband had fazzaoletti, a creamy pasta with mushroom and duck prosciutto. We enjoyed a couple tasty cocktails, and finished with a shared scoop of Greco Di Tufo gelato and espresso. Honestly the perfect meal on a rainy evening after a busy workday!

Their experience was excellent. I went with someone who frequenced their. They knew her right off. The bat said hello and hello to us. We valed the car and our coats. The waiter Lewis very gracious, entertaining and knew his stuff about the restaurant and the food

Great place in the heart of Buffalo. It was quite difficult to obtain reservations at first since we found out it is quite the place to be dining at. We had reservations for 9:15 but Tommy was just amazing and found away to get us a table on the outdoor patio without any issues. Ambiance was very nice. The staff was very attentive including the owner who must have come to our table about 3 times to see how everything was going. We ordered three appetizers which were all delicious. The wood roasted figs with prosciutto were amazing, the calamari were fried perfectly, and the octopus was crispy but lacked just a bit more flavor. Entrees were just as good. We ordered the short ribs which were on a bed of polenta which was as tasty as I have ever had. My daughter ordered a margarita pizza which was very tasty, I just wished the bottom was more crispy since it was just a bit soft. My wife ordered the NY strip which looked and tasted amazing. My son-in-law ordered the halibut which was very good and cooked to perfection. The one disappointment was my other daughter’s Carbonara. The saltiness usually comes from the guanciale but unfortunately there were very few pieces which made the dish a bit lackluster. Dessert was absolutely delicious with the Lombardo’s famous mud pie. It did not disappoint! The prices were reasonable. Great night, great food, and will definitely be back.

Delicious food and exceptional service, even the valet was great parking our 3/4 ton diesel truck in a very tight and very full parking lot. Highly recommend. Lobster ravioli was perfect, plenty of gluten free options and wonderful wine selection.

We had a great experience in Lombardo, service was excellent 👌 and the food was amazing 🤩, just need more work on the pizza 🍕 I recommend: - Caesar salad - Honeycrisb salad - The ravioli - The Banoffee

This gorgeous restaurant has been a celebration destination for us for decades. They have constantly stayed as the front runner for fine dining in Buffalo. The staff are always warm, attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is elegant, cozy and welcoming. The food never misses, they always have a variety of dishes to satisfy any diner and their cocktails are always delicious. Congratulations on 50 years! Can’t wait to make more memories here for years to come

I've been here around 4 times this year. Each time things has been very good. Once I ate at the bar, also nice. This place is always crowded I think. Not in an overcrowded way, but in a good way. I usually eat appetizers here with a salad, or a pizza. Valet parking. Or street.

From beginning (complimentary valet service) to end (pastry chef on premises), this is a restaurant to make you and your companions feel pampered. Currently in it's 50th year of operation, the rooms are modern and elegant. The main dining room had an enormous flower arrangement like you'd find at the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art. A private room had a family birthday party going on, seating 20. Each dish we ordered was beautifully plated and prepared with care: Now that we've experienced a Caesar salad for two made table side, it will be hard to go back to getting a premade one placed in front of me! We both loved the linguine with white clam sauce, and my fazzoletti pasta with duck prosciutto, peas, in a cream and cheese sauce was spectacular! We ended the evening with a deconstructed black forest parfait, and each of the elements had been carefully made: It was as much fun to eat as it was to look at!

This restaurant is not cheap, but worth every cent. The atmosphere is great - tasteful choice of light jazz music, beautiful copper ceiling, very clean. The service is amazing - waiters are very professional. The food is fresh and delicious and menu has lots of options including vegetarian, wine lust is extensive. Overall, excellent place for celebrating with great food and wine.

Every time we visit we are impressed!! The service and environment is impeccable and it's our favorite restaurant for occasions of any kind. The food is perfect no matter what dish you order. Our favorite bite here of all time is the carpaccio appetizer, it's sooo good. This visit I tried the continental and it was very lemony and delicious. We did a half portion of the seafood fra diavlo and I think I would get that as a whole next time! It is so garlicky and delicious. We also had the banoffee pie to go and it was delicious, we see why people love this dessert!! Can't wait until our next dinner here.

I thought everything was great! Service was warm, the warm bread was a nice touch. My faves were the fried calamari app! Bolognese and strip steak were good, but nothing amazing. They gave us 2 $25 gift certificates to use in a future visit.

Great great service, delicious food, we had a great time here for our group dinner. I had honey crispy salad and 8oz filet mignon, I like both of them, well seasoned and cooked. Will definitely return!

Everything was excellent. From the time we pulled up and Valet parked to the time we left. Our Server was Louis and he was excellent. Our busser was David and he was great too. We were celebrating our Anniversary and they brought us 2 complimentary glasses of champagne and a card signed by the staff. A very nice touch We started with the table side prepared Caesar Salad. My husband was unsure because of the anchovies but I convinced him he had had them before and just didn't know. We both loved it. I am sure you could ask for no anchovies but they add so much to the taste. For our entrees we had the special short rib and the bolgnese. Both wonderful Our drinks were an extra dirty Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and a expresso Martini. Delicious Although after eating dinnet we didn't need dessert but got it anyway. The banoffee pie was delicious. My husband ate most of it and raved about it. If you are looking for a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, this is the place to go. We are looking forward to coming back when the patio opens just for pizza and wine

A wonderful evening!! My husband and I were looking to have a night out from toddler parenthood and wanted to eat somewhere not only delicious but somewhere with an atmosphere! I'm so glad we landed on Lombardo's! We were tucked into a two-person booth that felt very private which we appreciated. As much as we wanted to be out, we're still very exhausted and didn't want to be surrounded by loud noise and well-rested, childfree people to envy with their youth and un-tired faces lol Everyone we met was so professional, kind and attentive. The sommelier was approachable and helped me find a wine from their Rare and Vintage Wine list - by the glass! - and settled on a fantastic wine from 2006. We had the fried calamari - something I usually wouldn't get at somewhere so fancy but just really wanted to taste it well done, and it was amazing! I had the tagliatelle bolognese, my husband the steak, and then a chocolate banana creme brûlée which obviously was fantastic. An all around wonderful evening, dinner and experience!

Service and atmosphere was awesome....... Now the food. My girlfriend ordered the 14oz NY strip medium...... came out well done. For me, the rack of lamb! It was very sad...... two, very, very small pieces of lamb, about the size of 50 cent piece. Not a rack!! Not even close..... Mind you, I love this place normally, but I stand by what I've always said. You're Never going to get, a good meal, on New Year's Eve! Next year, I grill at home.

Just returned from our annual Anniversary(44th) dinner at Lombardo's. As usual the food and service were spectacular. Thank you , especially, to Sarah, our server. She was bubbly, personable, knowledgeable and so very accommodating. My husband and I realized we have been enjoying this restaurant at least once a year since 1981 when we moved back to Buffalo. We have seen this grow from several tables to the beautiful venue it has become. It is so wonderful to have such an elegant place to celebrate special occasions.

What a treat this experience was. We drove to the restaurant and had complimentary valet. When we walked in, our coats were checked. We waited a moment for a table and the rest of our group, so we went to the beautiful bar to wait. When our table was ready, we were escorted to our seats. Our server was amazing. Truly top tier service. Very elegant. The women were given menus first. The food was excellent. We ordered oysters, table side caesar salad, the lamb roast, the stuffed veal, the continental, and the half lobster risotto. The oysters were flavorful and fresh. Watching the caesar salad get made table side was fantastic. Our waiter made the dressing himself, tossed the salad, and plated us. All of our entrees were fantastic! We don't even have any minor criticisms. Overall, this was an elegant experience with fantastic food. I felt like I was catered to the entire evening. A meal fit for a queen. I hope I can treat myself to this again soon.

Came here with a group and had a wonderful dinner and experience. Service was fantastic, Our waitress and other staff members came often to refill glasses and clean up plates. For dinner, we shared several appetizers for the table including pizza, brussels sprouts, calamari, and Caesar salad, which they made the dressing and salad table side. I don't normally like brussels sprouts, but these were cut into strands and dressed with slivered almonds, pancetta, and cherries - truly delicious. For dinner I enjoyed the striped bass special which was also delicious, and even split a big piece of the Bannoffee pie which was absolutely out of this world. I hope to come here again. This would make a great spot for a romantic dinner, or celebration meal.

We were visiting from out of town and went here to grab a quick bite, I had the bolognese and it was so so, my guy had lasagna and that was much better. We got desserts to go from their bakery dept and ate them when we got back to where we were staying, they didn't seem at all fresh but tasted like they had been in the case for sometime. I had an eclair , meh....my other guests has cannolis and they were just okay...the service was fine! Don't know that I would rush back but it was about a 3 out of 5!

We recently went for dinner with some friend's. It was our first time there. I had heard good things about the restaurant however I left unimpressed. I will say the service was good but the overall experience was not great. The food was mediocre at best. Maybe my expectations were to high. For what it cost there are better places to dine in wny.

Dessert, appetizers and lobster were excellent. Service was great as was the atmosphere. Classic black and white uniforms on the staff were very classy. The venue was excellent. Drinks were very good and reasonably priced compared to similar restaurants. Negatives were the price and taste of the entrees. VERY salty, Orato fish tasted very "fishy".

Absolutely excellent. From the minute we walked in to the minute we left. We were greeted with big smiles which is awesome. We were celebrating a birthday and they had a birthday card on the table waiting for us. We chose this restaurant because of their amazing gluten free menu. I have a family member that has an allergy. The gluten free dishes are amazing! Plus, they offer a sorbet and creme Brule which are gluten free desserts. Our table got a strip steak and the filet which were cooked to absolute perfection. I had some after-dinner coffee, and even that was fantastic. I heard the Cesar Salad is made table-side, next time I will try that. I would definitely recommend this restaurant- everything was amazing!

I'm a vegetarian, so I expect an Italian restaurant to have a pasta dish without meat or fish . The only thing on the menu without was gnocchi and that had goat cheese. I hate goat cheese! They made it without. It was good. The kale salad was delicious! My husband had steak and it had roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts. He said it was excellent as was the calamari . I'd never go back , it's just not for me . Everything was very good but, the menu is very limited . The staff were great!

5 star American Italian dining in a posh setting, with excellent service, and ambience. Even the Polish ambassador was there with secret service entourage. The food was fresh and delicious. Except the bread, pretty boring, but I guess that's what people want here. Of special note was the grilled octopus with squid ink aioli... so creamy and decadent, just don't get any on ya, it'll stain your finger! Pasta was seemingly house made and good but not al dente, then again the only place I can get al dente pasta is at home. The service was excellent but just a little too "Bubbly Applebees," where I think "French Laundry austerity" would have fit the bill.

Haven't been here in a few years but food was always great and service was as well. I was aware of the expertise of the bartender John in previous visits. It's been such a long time since my last visit that I don't remember what I ate. But, as. I indicated the food and potables were always top notch in my mind. It's definitely time for a revisit hope to be first weekend in July if everything goes well..

The chicken in the Shrimp scampi chicken was over cooked... but the scallop app was great & so was the cauliflower. I would come back for the wine and atmosphere love the outside patio and blankets they offer!

If there was only one word to describe everything about Lombardo, it would be EXQUISITE. Absolutely exquisite. I came here for the first time in a year and let me tell you, it keeps getting better. Complimentary coat check. The service. The romance emanating from sparks of light on the dark color pallet. The food of course. I loved the steamed mussels (appetizer $18) so much last time that I really wanted to have the dish as an entry. The chef did not disappoint and was more than willing to accommodate my request for pasta to go with the impeccable white wine sauce ($30)! The bread that comes with the dish is the cherry on top to a perfect dish--it's like they know how extraordinary their sauce is ;) . Oh, and the steak ($52)! Perfectly cooked (rare) and melted right in the mouth. The texture was amazing to say the least and the steak itself was as juicy as ever. Needless to say, i'm counting down the days until our return to Lombardo!

Food, atmosphere and service were good. Portions were small and it was very expensive for what you get - not sure if I will be back

First, I just have to say this was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had overall, and here is why... My boyfriend brought me here the day before my birthday. Because he isn't much of a planner, he didn't think to make reservations (which you absolutely should with Ristorante Lombardo). We walked in and the hostess was incredibly kind but informed us she has no space, but as we left, she came out and asked us if we could eat within 90 minutes. Now for me, that's like a lifetime, so of course I said yes. We were seated and the treatment by staff immediately was one of a kind. They entertained our silly debate over how to pronounce tiramisu and asked a true Italian who works there (I lost, for those wondering). The food was good. I really enjoyed mine and found the quail egg to add the perfect amount of cream to the pasta. And of course we had tiramisu and it was delicious! The food was wonderful, but it was the experience of the restaurant and it's staff that really sold this as a special experience.

A fantastic option for fine dining in Buffalo. My wife made a reservation for Father's Day. We had to wait a week to sit on the outdoor patio. Free valet parking is a nice touch considering parking on Hertel can be difficult. They have a huge mustard yellow tent covering the front patio. Its very clean, well maintained and matches the ambiance inside. There's a bush blocking you from people watching on the street. But you could hear a guy scream, "You better not touch my fu***** car!" loud and clear. Service was great. Food was even better. Excellent drink menu. Good Cesar salad to start. The lobster ravioli was to die for. I could've eaten another order. Dessert was OK. Ordered a strawberry cake off that was a special. Kind of bland considering how beautiful the other desserts look.

This is a very good spot to have a meal and enjoy the company of a family or a beloved significant other. The service is impeccable. The food is as amazing! The table side Cesar Salad is as one of the best I've ever had. The prosciutto wrapped fig was another amazing choice. My husband and I shared the lobster ravioli and it was amazing tad salty for me but we enjoyed every bite. My brother in law ordered a pizza. It was amazing. The Tuna special was melt in your mouth delish. Desserts were equally delicious. If we are back I'm Buffalo we will return.

I had my boyfriend choose a place for dinner since I usually call the shots there, and he didn't disappoint when he chose Ristorante Lombardo! I'd never been before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Everything was absolutely top notch, from the service to the menu to the ambiance. They have complimentary valet parking which is super nice since the restaurant itself is in an area with sort of cramped parking. Our server was very nice and attentive. We started with the crispy octopus. I'm not a huge seafood eater, so I can't say I was the biggest fan, but I did have my fair share of the plate! I got the cacio e pepe which was a special. I've never tried it before but I found the flavor really delightful, they used pink peppercorn which has a really unique taste to it. My boyfriend got the continental and really loved the veal! All in all, this was a great dining experience and I'd love to come back someday. They have affogato on the menu which I'm kicking myself for not getting, so maybe that'll serve as my excuse to come again!

Food was very very good, Beets salad was great. The eggplant ricotta roll In pasta and sauce was very good enjoyed the taste. Side of mushrooms were good too. This was a take out, packaged up nicely. We have to come back and have dinner in.

We went to Lombardo's tonight to celebrate a special occasion. The guest of honor wanted to try it as he had never been. My wife and I have eaten there several times over the years and it has ranged from very good to disappointing, inconsistent would describe our experience. We sat down tonight and waited, and waited and waited. When our waiter who was very pleasant, finally came by he took our drink order. 25 minutes later we still didn't have our drinks. Two tables nearby came in after us by 10-15 minutes and had their drinks and appetizers before we finally received our drinks. He apologized for the delay, we ordered apps, salad and dinner and he brought the app's quickly. It's how you recover right? The Apps were of high quality and very good, Calamari, grilled Octopus and the figs. We also ordered the table side Caesar Salad which was not edible due to way too much vinegar in the salad dressing. It was awful. Now we waited for our pasta and again it took way too long. I was curious why he set my place with a steak knife when we had ordered pasta. Finally we were served and two of us ordered the Carbonara and one the Fazoletti. The Fazoletti was liked by our guest and he enjoyed it, the pasta in both orders of the carbonara was way too overcooked and mushy, way too starchy. It was not enjoyable at all, and very disappointing. We were there so long and our experience was not positive at that point, so we decided against coffee and dessert and asked for the check. When our check came back we were overcharged for several (6) items we didn't order and the bill was almost double what it should have been. I circled and/or check marked the charges that were not ours on the bill. We brought this to our waiters attention and he agreed and apologized and said he would fix and bring right back. When he came back after another 10 minutes there were still three items on the check we didn't order. He apologized again and said he would correct it. The table behind us also informed him that their check was incorrect by several items. Another 20 minutes passed before he brought the check back which we paid and finally left. I understand that things happen and it's how you recover that matters, but the incredible wait and poor quality of the salad and two of the three entrees was incredibly disappointing for a fine dining restaurant. We really wanted to love it here but it was a very big disappointment all the way around.

Beautiful restaurant, with old world Italian feel. We were celebrating 2 birthdays so this was a special occasion evening. We first wanted to have a drink at the bar, very small area, but fortunately there were 3 seats available. Enjoyed cocktails at the bar, then seated promptly at the time of our reservation. Very attentive server and extremely knowledgeable with menu choices. We all decided to have wine by the glass with our meal, shockingly the only choice of Chardonnay was $24.25 a glass and the pour was measured, very disappointed. Pasta entree's were around mid $30's, steaks and chops were $50's-$80's. We did enjoy the Ceasar Salad which was prepared table side but salad for 2 was $32. Pasta entrees were good but not exceptional, dessert was the best. Annoyed when I saw on the bill that they tacked on a Kitchen Appreciation fee that should have been explained beforehand. Ambiance was very nice, certain rooms were too dark, but the enclosed patio was beautiful! I would say, make this a special occasion restaurant, our bill for 3 was a little over $300. Happy dining!

Been coming for years. So why only 4 stars? Big problem is pricing. $32 for Cesar for 2? Was on patio so not made at table side. Salad lacked flavor, oysters were not properly shucked. $30 and up for pasta is ridiculous. When I can get a similar dish in NYC at a top rated restaurant for cheaper it's a problem. Me thinks they are absorbing loses from Little Club.

My rating is not based on a personal dining experience, but a gift card purchase. I needed a gift for a friend who is a foodie and based on the reviews, it seemed this would be the perfect place. I easily went online to place my order, which was super convenient considering I'm not in Buffalo, and they mailed the card in a matter of days. If I'm not mistaken, she had it in under a week. I was pleased with the service I received and hope to visit on a future trip to Buffalo.

Wonderful experience overall, from the moment we stepped foot through the door to the moment we left. Celebrated a birthday and the card being at the table was such a personal touch. Wait staff was helpful and recommended great choices. High class place with a great staff, amazing food, and an unmatched ambiance.

My husband and I visited Lombardo's for our 48th anniversary. There is not a single thing I would criticize about our experience. We received two complementary glasses of champagne, and a lovely anniversary card signed by staff members, to start with. The service was perfect. Every person who served our table was friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding, absolutely delicious. Usually I would have ordered the filet mignon for such an occasion. But I was tempted by one of the specials. Shrimp and mushroom fettuccine ala Michelle (home made fettuccine, with a light Alfredo sauce). I loved every bite. My husband had the veal chop stuffed with goat cheese, which he enjoyed very much. Though we felt so full from our delicious meals, we tried the banoffe pie. Oh, my. Banana cream pie with toffee, and a graham cracker crust. Beyond delicious. The ambiance was perfect. Understated. Lovely. High class, yet very friendly, respectful of each guest. A very enjoyable time with absolutely delicious food.

My partner and I came here with our in-laws. Connor was our server and Mica supported him. Both were excellent, very attentive. Our food was great as were our cocktails and bottle of pino noir which btw Connor suggested we open early, a great suggestion! The restaurant is lovely with proper dining music, artwork not to mention the renovated patio. This is our first time back since last August's not so good experience. Happily, we will return soon! I highly recommend!

Always a class act at Lombardo's! From the presentation of the food, taste of the dishes and the overall feel of the restaurant it is worth the time and cost. I highly suggest visiting.

We started going here on special occasions but found out they were far and few. We've gone back on just because events because the food, service and ambiance make this place a truly enjoyable evening. Valet parking is recommended and your car is taken care of as well. Tommy always stops over to make sure everything is alright. It's definitely a go-to place for us! Always get the Caesar salad!

Best Italian food I have ever had. I have been to Rome and Southern Italy but every time I am at Lombardos I feel like nothing even comes close. Their bread and butter are amazing and fresh. Pasta is always al dente with variety of flavors and toppings. I had duck prosciutto bow tie one this time. It was to die for. My favorite restaurant of all times

WARNING ITS VALET ONLY SO DONT FORGET TO BRING CASH !! I love this place! I saw the reviews and all the pictures of the food and honestly that's what sold me! But what made me really love this place is actually going in person! Me and my husband made a reservation it's actually our first time going to a restaurant since the pandemic. We made a reservation for seven but we went about an hour earlier hoping they would seat us and they were very nice about it! They had an oyster special and of course I had to taste them they were amazing!! I ordered the branzino fish it was like butter in your mouth!! (As I write this review my mouth is watering lol ) My husband ordered the lobster ravioli and honestly the sauce was exceptional!! The reason I love this restaurant so much is that they offer a lot of gluten-free options the only thing that I wish that they offered was gluten free bread my husband was eating all the delicious bread and I was just looking at him.. everything was so good but please try to save space for dessert because I think that's the best part!!! The service was exceptional everybody was so professional!!! I really miss going to a place where people take pride in their job!! Honestly we didn't realize it was so fancy so if you want to dress up you could. We dressed pretty casual and it wasn't a big deal. We love this place so much that we told my in-laws about it and they're going to celebrate their 40th year anniversary tonight, little did they know that we called the restaurant and give them our credit card number and they won't have to pay a dime!! I definitely recommend this place!! We will definitely be going back soon!

If you are coming to Buffalo only for dinner, I would tell you "GO TO LOMBARDO OMG!!!" Best restaurant ever, EVER! All the dishes taste like heaven!!! I have no idea why they taste so AWESOME!!! The Pizza, Scallop and the Steak are the MUST TRY!!! I can't find the words to describe the feeling because my mind was BLOWING when eating. SOOOOO AWESOME.

Excellent experience! The ambiance was beautiful, the service was exceptional, and the food was top notch. Highly recommend the table-side caesar salad for two and any pasta dish. All of their pastas and sauces are completely homemade. If you still have room for dessert, we loved the banoffee pie!

We came here for Mother's Day and it was an incredible dining experience. The service was fantastic and the food was great. For starters, we ordered the brussel sprouts and crispy cauliflower. The servings were pretty big and can easily be shared by the table. My sister also ordered the pizza as her entree and it was also great. I got the ravioli di astice with mascarpone and lobster, which was delicious, but a modest serving. My mother got the melanzane rollante and ate every bite. We typically don't go out on Mother's Day but I purposely chose a nicer restaurant in hopes that we could avoid a crowd. So glad I made the right call because the service and experience was spectacular.

The flavor is simply unmatched. The chicken just fell off the bone. The chocolate cake was very rich and moist and the presentation of all of the food was wonderful. The staff was polite, prompt and friendly. The restaurant was a little loud but we did have a large party by us as well. We went during Italian fest and they still had ample parking. A nice extra thing that they did was I received a birthday card signed from all of the staff. One of my favorite Italian restaurants.

Exceptional Cuisine & Service in Buffalo NY. Beautifully decorated space, and one of the nicest patio dining experiences in town. Amazing Wine List & Cocktails, and don't skip dessert. Highly Recommend.

Hands-down this is one of our favorite places to eat. We've been coming here for at least 20 years authentic Italian food served in a beautiful upscale atmosphere. The service is always top-notch. It is not your average Italian eatery. It is above, and beyond that you do pay a little bit more, but the trade-off is you always have a wonderful authentic meal

Wow, Buffalo continues to impress! Old World Italian Restaurant the way I remember as a boy! Incredible FOOD, impeccable service (Charles et al.). Owner present on property makes all the difference, none of this investment brokers, he is present, he cares and it shows! Oysters from Prince Edward Island, delicious! Roasted beets, perfect. Homemade gnocchi pomodoro, followed by banana cream pie! Wow, another GREAT evening on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo!

This restaurant prides itself on great service. The food is consistently very good. The relatively new patio dining is winterized but still has the feel of being outside. This is a large restaurant with well trained staff. Every one who comes to Lombardo's is made to feel special!

We had our anniversary dinner there. Absolutely incredible. Handwritten note wishing us happy anniversary when we arrived at our table. Plus, courtesy Prosecco toast. Fine dining at its best!

Every-time.....always on point. Such a treasure for Buffalo. Please never stop the Valet parking - much needed treat for all visitors. I have been here a handful of times and tonight was the pure capstone of excellence. We came here for my mother's birthday with an OpenTable reservation and patio preferred. We made the reservation about three weeks ahead. The restaurant called to confirm that week that we would be there, and because of the early reservation, we would definitely be on the patio. Only the best for Mom! We were directed to our table by Tom (owner) and the night progressed with ease and perfection. The servers know everything about everything; the wine, cocktails, specials, menu, desserts, and any odd questions - very impressive. They are also immaculately dressed, polite, and perfected to make your dining experience perfect. The meals were tenderly perfect. We weren't rushed to leave. We had amazing deserts. I highly recommend ANYONE to dine here! Thank you, LOMBRADOS!

I have been going to this restaurant with my family and friends over the past dozen years or so. It is one of our favorite places to spend Christmas Eve dinner. The food is always excellent and there is no mistaking that there is a very talented chef in charge. Staff is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Whether you're sitting at the bar for a cocktail and a Woodfired Pizza or you're sitting in the dining room for a full-blown beautiful dinner with a decanted bottle of wine you are always treated as a welcome guest. You can never go wrong with this restaurant and it will always remain one of my go to favorites.
