Loved the live music there. Maria Sebastian was amazing.
When it comes to food, I really enjoyed my shrimp and scallop risotto and this place has a great wine selection. Calamari is highly recommend as a starter.

Found this unexpected gem on a Thursday night. The live music was fun. We sat right next to the fireplace. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Great food, particularly the pork chops and the seafood pasta. And that crushed olive spread with the fresh bread was so good.

I went for Valentine’s Day and it was underwhelming. Once we sat down, the server was distracted that we didn’t have water that she forgot to ask for our drink orders before we ordered the food. We ordered everything at once, which I found to be backwards. The complimentary bread was delicious and warm. The lobster bisque was the best part of the main meal and that was the appetizer. The salad my boyfriend ordered was okay.

We didn’t get our drinks until after our appetizer plates were taken away. This was probably about 40 minutes after we ordered.I don’t normally ask for things at restaurants but had to since the drinks still haven’t arrived.

The main dishes were okay. They both had scolding hot plates but the food itself was lukewarm at best. This alone wasn’t pleasant to begin with. I got the shrimp and scallop risotto and my boyfriend got the brisket. Both lacked flavor. The shrimp and scallops didn’t taste like much and were soberly under seasoned. The shrimp were rubbery and almost overcooked. The brisket was well cooked but again, under seasoned. The brisket didn’t have enough sauce to account for the dryness. And the mashed potatoes were more of a garnish than a part of the meal.

The desserts were also just okay. The snickers cheesecake had a thick layer of chocolate on top. It was good though. The tiramisu was okay. It had a hint of staleness to it. I couldn’t tell if it was the cocoa powder or the actual cake inside the dessert.

My boyfriend and I both left dissatisfied and disappointed.

I will say that I understand it was Valentine’s Day and the limited menu changes the experience along with how busy it was. But it wasn’t the best experience I’ve had for a Valentine’s Day meal.

We first came here for their limited Valentines menu and enjoyed our time. Sadly, it could have been just the day we visited the second time, but we came here for dinner around 7pm which they seemed not that busy. They were out of several dinner dishes and our waitress seemed rather frazzled and rushed. The meatball appetizer was delicious and the best meal for us. My partner found his chicken parm mediocre and my ravioli was pretty good. I would order something differently next time if we return.

We came here after a funeral, mostly had ready to go when we got there.
The Penni and sauce were fabulous the best sauce I’ve had along with the veggies zucchini,yellow squash, carrots,potatoes were cooked to perfection.
Fruit tray great , wings great, broiled slice potatoes awesome. Great job, guys, even though you’re an hour away we will venture ther to eat.

Very disappointing meal. I ordered one of the specials and the chicken was overcooked and very dry. The Cesar salad was very small and it had Italian dressing on it. My friends broccoli and pasta was very small and mostly pasta, the little broccoli it did have was cold (FROZEN). Very disappointing I don't think I will go there again, Not a good value for the money.

Had the buffet style dinner for an event. Extremely disappointing to say the least.!!!! Every single food item that was served was FROZEN- NOTHING FRESH!! Would’ve probably been better eating dog food. The food was absolute trash -you think with such nice atmosphere you would actually make some homemade dishes instead of serving this jailhouse slop. This was probably the worst food I have eaten out in decades.

We were fortunate enough to experience the last night of restaurant week at Rizottos. Mike sat our Party of 5 around 7pm on a Sunday night. Plenty of options off Restaurant week Specials Menu. I just was hoping for a Vegatarian option and didn't see any. With that being said, they have an enormous sized appetizer/salad list to start off our dinner then dessert. We were able to choose 1 smaller pizza, or 3 items from course 1 list. Let me just say our Server "Derek" was Phenomenal.. Derek was beyond Professional, Fun and attentive to all our questions/concerns on Menu. Course 2, were the Main dinner options, Chicken Milanese, Pork with Polenta & asparagus, Ribeye, and so much more.. Derek kept appearing at our table to make sure we were drooling and enjoying our every bite. I'm not sure I've ever experienced service this Good. Derek should be training every server in WNY. His bubbly personality kept us smiling as we waited a bit for our Main course. If they were out of an item, Derek let us know. He kept the bread coming if needed too. In all fairness it was their last night serving the Restaurant week Menu. Everyone of my family members was enjoying their food and with dessert (Course 3) we received a complimentary shot of Limoncello, Derek offered my teenage son a shot of lemonade. Derek gave us $10.oo off 2 dinner coupons. My parents already went back. Such a Great Experience, huge restaurant, bar and banquet facility. With sensitive eyes, the lighting was just right, not bright in your eyes and easy to read Menus. When there's a chill in the air, the fire places are on.. If you need to drop anyone off at front door, pull up your car under shelter area. Oh and I recommend a Reservation~
