Mulberry Italian Ristorante
Price: Expensive•Italian•4.8(1,347)Equal parts restaurant and experience, Mulberry Italian Ristorante is a wonderful option for those who want an authentically delicious meal. Explaining that it may look like the Bronx, but that it tastes like Manhattan, this cozy eatery is just south of the center of Buffalo and offers iconic Italian foods.
Visitors to Mulberry Italian Ristorante can enjoy their lunch or dinner menu items and will find that even some of the standards are far more creative than what they usually encounter. Freshness is also a huge part of the experience, and the caprese is hand crafted each day while the pasta is homemade on the premises. Delicious and comprehensive, the Mulberry Italian Ristorante menu is a delight.Rick's on Main

Giancarlo's
Price: Very Expensive•Steakhouse•4.8(3,545)Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience.

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.BUFFALO CHOPHOUSE - PRIME STEAKS & FRESH SEAFOOD
