Fantastic old school Italian restaurant. Great service, large portions and the iconic Chef's brand. When we are in the Buffalo area we always stop at Chefs for dinner. When we are not in Buffalo we have friends that send us a case of chefs marinara sauce because it's that good. A meal at chefs is like eating at my grandparents house when I was a kid !

Are you a fan of Spaghetti and cheese? Well then you owe it to yourself to check this legendary buffalo establishment out! Amazing Spaghetti/Chicken Parms just bring your appetite (and put on your bib! 😜) because even the "extra small" is enough to fill you up and the large portions are *huge*... and all absolutely loaded with cheese 😊 Make sure to try the made-in-house fresh bread as well. It's to die for. The restaurant is also just oozing character. The inside is like a giant history book with photos of all the famous guests over their now 100+ year history. Very cool. Loved absolutely everything and will definitely be back for more!

I can't believe I've never tried this place before. The meal was amazing. Their special is the spaghetti parm and it hit the spot. It was huge and the flavor was great. I was ordering the chicken parm and I was thinking it's just an upsell, but let me tell you: do it! I actually haven't had a meal this good in awhile. I can't wait to go back. I went at a good time after work but it filled in quick and there was a long line when I was leaving. Definitely make reservations.

We stopped in because we saw the lunch special and good reviews. The food was decent, nothing mind blowing, but alright food and good portions. The service was really our favorite part Deneen was lovely and was very attentive. For the price I would say its a great value. Don't expect out of this world food quality, but if you are looking for a cute place with good service and history this place is totally worth the stop!

The food is delicious and large portions. It is understandable why this place is so popular/has such a cult following. The spaghetti parm here is amazing. I got a small portion and it was still huge. You can ask for plain sauce if you are vegetarian. I thought the fact their napkins can be worn as bibs was hilarious but it's also practical. The walls are covered with pictures of famous guests and it really adds to the unique atmosphere. You can also buy their sauce, gift sets, and napkin/bibs here.
