Ristorante Lombardo

Superb as always.

Tommy Lombardo is the best. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the meal.

A wonderful way to spend part of our 28th Anniversary. The food and service was outstanding. Lombardi’s is always special. Great wine selections. Dessert was over the top. The Banofee Pie is crazy great!

The Caesar salad prepared table side is just too awesome. So few do this anymore and Lombardi’s does it so well

This is a can’t miss Restaurant. Pasta choices are great, but don’t miss out on the specials and other dishes.

This was the best meal I had on my recent business trip to Niagara & Buffalo. From the service, recommendations & selection... will definitely be back!

First the good things. The ambiance in the bar area is very romantic and great for a date. The dining area is very cozy as well, dim lighting is a bonus. The bartender and our waitress were very attentive and accommodating.
We started by ordering the wood fired figs which were excellent. Followed by the antipasto for two, which was not very impressive, everyone at the table thought the selection of cheeses and meats were not that good, and we all agreed we would never order that starter again partially due to the $22 price tag and what was given.
Next we ordered the caesar salad which they prepare table side, a very nice touch. The salad was very good and watching the dressing made from scratch was very nice. Our only small suggestion regarding the salad was we felt that it should be served with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese instead of the grated cheese it was served with. Would have made the salads just perfect.
Now for the bad things. My brother and I ordered the veal marsala. Both of us agreed that the veal was very dried out and over cooked, the prosciutto was also pretty tough. We have had this many times before so we are well aware of what it should taste like. I wanted to sample their regular house sauce(red) so I ordered a side of linguine. The sauce was a huge disappointment. I have been to all the "famous" and dozens of not so famous Italian restaurants in the Buffalo area and this was by far one of the most disappointing. Very bland, no depth or complexity to the sauce whatsoever.
My wife ordered the yellow fin tuna from the nightly special menu, which came with roasted potatoes. She said the potatoes were excellent but unfortunately a quarter of the tuna was so under cooked it was stringy, she could only eat a little over half of it.
My sister-in-law ordered the tagliatelle bolognese, her comment was, "it's just ok" It was pretty bland, she said she was expecting more taste.
Just not what we expected for a $525 night.
We did enjoy the wine!!

Excellent meal. Probably the best I've had in Buffalo.

This was a dinning experience. We loved everything from the moment we walked in the door.

Over all experience was impressive with a wait staff that made the experience memorable and food cooked to perfection. Would of liked a few more entrées to choose from that were moderately priced.

The staff is very friendly. The food is great. Good restaurant for a date night.

I've been going to Lombardo's for years. It never disappoints.

We are regulars here for good reason- they are consistent with delicious cuisine and attentive service! Best outdoor patio for summertime dining & comfortable indoor dining as well.

pleasant evening- great food-great service would go back again to celebrate special occasions. Recommend to others any time.

Wonderful first visit. Service, food and friendliness outstanding. We’ll be back

Amazing service and excellent food. They asked on reservation if we were celebrating and had a card at the table for the honoree. Did not rush our celebration even though some guests were late and we stayed longer than normal seating time (4+ hours).

We had the caesar salad and the continental entree of veal and shrimp.
We loved it and order it frequently.
We were not as enthusiastic about our desserts however.
I enjoyed cocktail before dinner.
We always say we should come to Lombardo's more often.

The food, ambience and service is always outstanding. Tom does a wonderful job making sure everyone is accommodated and well served.It’s simply never disappoints

My #1 restaurant in Buffalo including suburbs. Cannot beat the food, wine list, service, atmosphere.

The service was outstanding. Our waiter was crazy polite and checked on us regularly. The food was delicious. Authentic, homemade pasta- as good as being in Italy- and I've been! I had the mushroom pasta and fig pizza. 100% would go again.

Food was cooked perfectly. Atmosphere was beautiful and service was outstanding.

Thank you Mr Lombardo for making our evening so special. Food service and ambiance were 5 stars.
Please don’t change anything because everything was perfect.

It was a lovely evening. Very tasty food. But rib steak that two of us ordered was well seasoned and cooked rare as ordered but very tough. Not prime as described.
Wish server had ben more willing to make suggestions.

First time eating here and I must say that I was impressed. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were great. Our waiter was pleasant and very helpful with food suggestions. I will be back!

All of the wait staff was amazing, answered all our questions and had great suggestions, nothing to complain about! Great anniversary dinner!

Delicious food and a beautiful patio to celebrate an anniversary.

Took my niece out to treat her after her interview with University of Buffalo medical school. The restaurant was very accommodating since I had the reservation on a wrong date. Service was top notch, food was good and ambiance was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Perfect night for my husband's birthday. Everything was exceptional!!

Lombardo's is a perennial favorite. Beautiful atmosphere, great service and consistently great food year after year. Try the half roasted chicken.

What can I say. This is one of the finest restaurants on Hertel and perhaps in the city. Wife and I had gift certificates and the prix fixe weekday specials were a perfect oppotunity for a special night out for no special reason. Our three course dinner was tasty and of good quality but the place is so much more than just great food. The service, attention to detail, the ambience all added up to make the evening a night to remember. We had been there on numerous previous occassions and everytime the experience has been positive and noteworthy. The Manager and Owner both checked on us to make sure we were satisfied. Perfect for a date night, romantic evening, anniversary, birthday or just someplace to go when you want to go out. Dress up, put on the special cologne and treat yourself to a night out. It's the prefect place.

As first time visitors to Buffalo we were looking for an authentic Italian restaurant...We found that in Lombardo's. The food was delicious and well prepared The wine was spectacular: Verdicchio...and the service was fabulous. Conner was great.

Many great restaurants in WNY, but this is the best of the best!!!!

Outstanding at all levels, can’t wait to go back!

From the valet parking the car to Mr. Lombardo wishing us a good evening, Lombardo's is exquisite. Food, service, ambience - all were above reproach, an excellent meal and excellent evening.

Absolutely fantastic! From the valet service to our last bite...impeccable! Thank you for a wonderful night!

Great service, great meal for everyone in our group.

Went here for the first time for our anniversary this weekend and had a wonderful meal. Had many people around us doing the same, but we didn’t announce ours to anyone. I saw a nice card on one of the couples tables. What a nice touch! The pizzas are much larger than I expected. We got one as an appetizer (Fig and Gorgonzola) and had to take most of it home. Just as great for lunch the next day reheated in the toaster oven 👌. We both had wonderful entrees, wine, dessert and service. Complimentary Valet service was a huge plus, given the location. Can’t wait to enjoy again!

Fabulous food. Great service. Friendly staff. Very personalized service

Celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. As they always do, the Lombardo's team went out of their way to ensure it was a great experience. That is what sets them apart, they treat you like it is a special occasion whether it is or not. Yes the food and cocktails were fabulous but that is a given. Buffalo's finest restaurant IMO.

We took our daughter for her birthday. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. She loved the happy birthday card on our table and the candle on her dessert; they made her feel special. Thanks for a great evening.

Great food and service. Beautiful patio and dining toom

Always excellent service and food. Looking forward to going again.
