In Buffalo, family-run Italian places are busiest on weekend evenings and around holidays, when reservations or call-ahead seating are worth it. BYOB is common at smaller restaurants in some states, with a modest corkage fee or none at all; the listing or a quick call will tell you. Wing-and-pizza shops across New York do most of their business by delivery and price wings by the piece or in fixed counts, with sauce heat adjustable on request. Catering trays, party pizzas and sheet pies need a day's notice at most places, and more around big game days.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 4:30β9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

The food was okay, but definitely feels overpriced. It's trying to seem fancy, but it's just average imo. The atmosphere is nice, and they have jazz shows on the rooftop, which was fun. Service is a little mixed. No bad experience exactly, but it felt a little rushed, which I understand because both times I went they were really busy. The people are still nice, though.

Iβve been here twice, once to sit down and once to take out. I remember the prices being affordable. I ordered through DoorDash and the Fettuccine Alfredo was $21β¦ I looked to add chicken and it was an extra $8. I figured that for $8 Iβd receive an abundance of chicken so I spent $31.36 in total for one dish. I receive dish and the amount of chicken was not worth $8. Maybe 80 cents. Sorry if I sound like a Karen but this was not worth my coin.

Update: 6/1/26: still no response from anyone. My husband and I went for our anniversary and the server was great, the food was good. When the bill came we paid and left a $30 tip. Imagine my surprise when I was alerted by my credit card company when they stated that there was potential fraud and stated βdid you know you left a 38% tip. According to what I was charge, it stated that I left a $50 tip. Now I always take the other receipt with proof of what I tipped and how much the bill came out to be. So this was incorrect. On 5/28/26 at 11:12am, I emailed the manager and explained the situation and have yet to hear back from anyone from this place. Now I know some people would say that itβs just $20, but this is more than that for me. Itβs the principle of the matter and to be told βpossible fraudβ was not a good way to start my day. Needless to say β¦ I will not be back and will not recommend this place to anyone.

We came for dinner and because we came during lent, they were serving fish fries. I had visited once before and got the eggplant parm which was very good and I wish I did that this visit, too. The fish fry itself was boring in taste but the tartar sauce did help add a little dimension. The coleslaw was good and the mac salad was great but did not have enough noodles. We got the brussel sprouts to start and they were great! My boyfriend got the meatballs and said they were the perfect texture and flavor. Our waitress was so sweet and the vibe is very open and nice. We will probably be back but will opt for their regular menu.
