The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood, but luckily there’s a parking lot right across the street. The space includes a main dining room along with a few side areas. The atmosphere is really inviting, inspired by a blend of Italian and Italian-American culture. The staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and totally professional. The restaurant also has a great bar. We tried the lasagna and the meatballs — and the meatballs are truly their signature dish. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth stopping by!
Excellent food, atmosphere and service. They get insanely busy at dinner time so reservations are highly recommended to guarantee your table. We got the arancini, gnocchi and Joe Shaw Rigatoni dishes- all were delicious and full of flavor. The Joe Shaw was the best pasta dish I’ve ever had!! Their cocktails are also very good. Mulberry was packed will orders and food still came out timely and with a smile. Great service and all around great place!
A booming, old school, Italian restaurant at its finest. The atmosphere, the decor, and the food were OUTSTANDING. The meatball with mozzarella was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the Ragu and risotto as well as the Bolognese. You can’t go wrong with either. We were so impressed that we are bringing our family here for our Christmas dinner. Perfect for a date night. Very cozy. A wonderful experience.
We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant for our anniversary yesterday. My husband and I both had the chicken wings and bruschetta to share for an appetizer. Both were delicious. For the main dish, we both had the spaghetti and parmed it! The highlight of the meal was the butter pecan cheesecake! Absolutely amazing! We had a wonderful waitress too! Jamie M provided excellent service and was very friendly and attentive. She made great recommendations for a delicious wine too!
2nd time at Mulberry Italian Ristorante tonight. We are from Long Island. Our daughter goes to school here in Buffalo and we were here back in May. We knew our daughter who has celiac disease could order an amazing gluten-free meal like she did then. We started off with the enormous meatball appetizer and garlic bread with melted mozzarella.( this was not gluten free and although we felt guilty eating it in front of her, she was fine because she knew how good her dinner was going to be) Our server Jamie was beyond accommodating and so pleasant. I don't know where to begin but from beginning to end, the experience was incredible. The service, the food and the ambiance was perfect. Jamie made sure our daughter had the best meal, minus the gluten!! She ordered the chicken Violante with gluten-free pasta, gluten-free chicken cutlets & the spicy vodka sauce. The rest of us ordered The Chicken Parm Milano with spicy vodka sauce. The chicken cutlets were enormous and the servings were huge! We all took half of it home. I can't recommend this place enough. We will certainly be back!! Thank you Mulberry Italian Ristorante for making this such a great gluten-free experience for my daughter. This is a rarity & you made this Mom very happy. Huge👍👍👍 for Mulberry Italian Ristorante in Buffalo. I happened to catch an episode of Diners Drive Ins & Dives one night and knowing we were headed up to Buffalo back in May, I made a reservation. Guy ordered the meatball appetizer which was literally the size of a ⚾️ and the lasagna the size of a 🧱 so that's exactly what we ordered. Pictures don't do it justice and we took half home. They even had gluten-free pasta and meatballs for my daughter who has Celiac disease which she inhaled. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're ever up here! We are headed back up again in a few weeks and reservations have already been made!
