The Dove

The Dove is a great little Italian restaurant off the beaten path in Orchard Park. It has fantastic home made food and excellent service! I went on a weeknight so it wasn't busy and we got right in. I really enjoyed and appreciated the complimentary meatballs and limoncello intermezzo. The pasta and chicken piccata were divine as were the cocktails. Our waitress Lisa was not only a wonderful server but also a fun comedian even naming the dish to go on the take home box! I highly recommend supporting this small business. They are great people working hard to make every meal special for their customers!

We came for lunch - fair prices and good food. Service felt a bit slow - there were only 4 tables seated but it seemed to take a long time to order and be served. Perhaps I was impatient. The soup and salad were good and the shrimp and pasta were good. As others have said in their reviews, the decor felt a bit dated inside. Friendly service, attentive.

Unlike any other restaurant I have gone to.. They give complimentary courses before your meal. Homemade meatballs,rolls,soup,salad and a lemon cello to cleanse your palette before your main meal. All their food is phenomenal. Relaxing atmosphere and great service with reasonable prices. Need reservations.

Some of these poor reviews are laughable. We’ve been dining at The Dove for years & have never been disappointed. Food & choices are excellent. Slow service? (We’ve had the same server for years!) Eh - eating is an event in our family so we’re never out of there in under 2.5 hrs. That’s a real Italian meal! Eat, drink, relax, rinse & repeat. This is a RARE find in restaurants these days. Most are trying to get you out the door for the next seating so don’t be in a rush or starving if you go to The Dove.

My chicken parmigiana was melt in your mouth good! Cheese was perfect. Sauce and noodles as well. A perfect dish. My wife’s eggplant was very good and she is picky. She said the eggplant was thin (which was better). She rarely likes red sauce but she loved this one.

We went to The Dove to celebrate my birthday and they did not disappoint. It was a wonderful meal. The portions were generous and cooked to perfection. Their attention to detail from th complimentary appetizer to the lemonchello through our entrée was spectacular. Our waitress was attentive and efficient. Overall we had a wonderful evening and will definitely return.

Diane was absolutely amazing, walked us thru the menu, and was always checking up on us. One of the best servers I’ve ever had. Food was great, so was she

This is our 4th visit, always with Superb Lisa as our server!! This dinner is an event, 3 hours of great food and outstanding service! We were a table of 11, we had great family time! We love it here and will be back!
