My family were celebrating a surprise 50th anniversary party for my wife's parents here. The service was beyond exceptional and very friendly. The food was very delicious too. Food was buffet style with pasta, mixed vegetables, potatoes, stuffed beef rollups, and chicken. I highly recommend visiting here for get togethers such as showers, wedding receptions, and other similar celebrations.

It's always so cozy here during the holiday season. The staff dresses in their holiday attire, wreathes and twinkle lights throughout the restaurant, holiday music playing. They also have the best chicken Marsala and red sauce in all of WNY!

I've been enjoying the food from this establishment for over 30 years! Met ilio before his passing, know the family now, Dennis, ilio,.and the quality and customer service has always came 1 St! I recommend everything on menu! Not only is this a famous Italian restaurant but they never say no to the american legion down the street on electric ave post 1449! Not enough I can say about Dennis and his son ilio with how they take care of everyone in the whole area whenever asked! Hats off to a deserved recognition!

We drove over an hour from Rochester for Flight Night and it was absolutely worth the trip. Even though we showed up earlier than our 7 PM reservation, the staff seated us quickly and set the tone for a great night. But the true standout of the entire experience? Gina. She was genuinely phenomenal. Her energy, her explanations, her timing… she paced each course perfectly so we could enjoy every flight without feeling rushed. She was warm, fun, and honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had. We even asked to speak to the owner just to compliment her because she made the night unforgettable. Now for the food — we tried a lot, and it was such a fun way to sample the menu. Drinks: The Martini Flight and Cello Flight were both hits. Everything was delicious, and the fall-themed flavors? So good. My personal favorite was the Pumpkin Spice martini <3 Appetizers: The French Onion Soup and Caesar Salad were incredible. Meatball Flight: All three meatballs were good. For me personally, the red sauce leaned a bit acidic — totally a preference thing — but my friend loved it, so it really depends on your palate. Pasta Flight: Same story with the red sauce for me, just not my personal taste. But the Alfredo? Amazing. And the pesto was one of my absolute favorites of the night. Chicken Breast Flight: This was the only course that didn’t fully land for me. I actually liked the Abruzzo, and my friend really enjoyed the buffalo chicken. The only actual miss was the chicken parmigiana cut. It seemed like we just got a one-off bad piece; when I cut into it, the texture felt off and chewing it was… not great. But we didn’t even bother mentioning it because everything else was so wonderful, and it didn’t detract from the overall experience at all. Dessert: The Cannoli Flight was amazing. My friend loved the classic, we both adored the caramel apple, and the pumpkin was my personal winner — it tasted exactly like pumpkin cheesecake. I LOVE pumpkin, so it was perfect. And the Amaretto Cherry Gelato? Heavenly. Smooth, refreshing, and the perfect palate cleanser to end the night on. Overall, we had such a great experience that we’re already talking about coming back. The food, the drinks, the pacing, the vibes, and especially Gina made it a fantastic night out. Highly recommend making the trip; we’ll definitely be returning!

I’m not one to do reviews but here we go… first time last night and let me say…WOW. My girlfriend and I had our second anniversary there and let me say it was an absolute pleasure. We both had the prime rib, banana peppers, shrimp…my goodness everything food wise was just delightful. If there’s a way to sell this place I’d say it’s on its service. The owner himself made rounds and made every single person in the house feel as if they were family. Our server Gina, simply spectacular. She was authentic and knew the menu like the back of her hand. Not only did she orchestrate our way around the menu with nothing less than perfection, she was also able to turn me on to not one but two wines when I’m a beer guy!!! She made us feel loved and warm, and at the end of the meal we revealed it was our anniversary and we were gifted a bottle of champagne. Bravo to the entire staff I’ve never had a dining experience quite like this. Thank you to keeping my love of the world of culinary arts and hospitality a great reminder that there’s always hope for a new and unfamiliar exciting night out. Cheers to Gina and the entire staff here’s to many more!

Ilio DiPaulo’s is a must-visit for anyone in Buffalo! We visited from out of town as a group of six, and they welcomed us in at a table without reservations. Shortly after we sat down, Dennis came over to our table to greet us, and instantly, he made us feel like family. He was very personable and told us the history of his family restaurant. Kaitlyn, our server was fantastic and she gave us great food recommendations. Finally, the food and wine was incredible. Each of us loved our meals and we could not recommend this place enough to anyone in the Buffalo area. Grazie!
