• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

    We were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. The decor was festive with Christmas decorations, beautifully done as usual. Our reservation was for 7:00 but were told they were running 15-20 min behind. The bar area was full and it took awhile to get our beverages. We were under the impression that there was a dress code for the dining area, yet so many people were in jeans and very casual attire and allowed into the dining area. That was disappointing as we were expecting a higher end atmosphere. The food was exceptional, as usual. Our server, Eric, was very attentive and apologetic that our main course took so long due to over-cooking of the filet. Eric suspected something was wrong and immediately addressed it with the the kitchen staff. It was worth the wait. Our appetizers were great and helped to lessen the tardiness of getting the entrees. This is our favorite place and we truly enjoyed our evening.

    Due to various circumstances, we were unable to travel to New Orleans for Christmas as planned. We had both taken vacation time and paid the cat sitter… so we opted for a mini vacation in Buffalo. Our meal at Jazzboline made everything better. The cocktails were superb. The appetizers heat (try the deep fried lions mane.. I’ll be dreaming of that for weeks). Our entrees were very well done - his salmon was cooked perfectly and my vegetable gratin was delicious. Our waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing. We will be back!
