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.
