I ordered takeout but I had to go to the restaurant to do it because all I got was a recorded message when I tried to call. The very sweet, little old Italian woman said it was just she and her husband working so she couldn’t answer the phone. The place is decorated for Christmas with a very Italian feel. It was worth the wait because the food was delicious. I ordered the Sicilian Eggplant Parm which is different than regular eggplant parm. It had little to no breading but still very good. It came with spaghetti and I ordered two meatballs to go with it. They were delicious and so was the sauce.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!
I saw a post on TikTok sharing this heartwarming story of the owner of this place, who is in her 80’s, who drives from Springville, miles away, to maintain this restaurant. It sounded like a feel good story, one that I wanted to support. So, me and my daughter get a $20 Uber over to Faso’s Ristorante. As soon as we walk in, the dining room is empty except for two tables. About 8 remain unseated. We tell the gentleman who is the only employee we see that we will be a party of 3. He looks around confused and then says “Well, we have no where for you up here, we will have to put you in the back.” I work in the service industry, I totally get it. So, no problem….happily we follow him into the back of the restaurant. Now this area looks like it hasn’t been touched in ages. Dust is on glasses, old plastic patio chairs are piled up in one corner…the place looks deserted. Christmas decorations are still up (mind you, this is the first weekend in March) But, once again, whatever, I am willing to give it a shot. So we sit at the table he tells us to. No menus. No drinks. It’s fine, we’ll wait. But then it starts to become longer and longer and he is not coming back to us. So I look at my watch, and it’s now 20 minutes we’ve been sitting at this table with not even a menu to look at. So I decided to get up to walk over to where the server was behind the bar to ask for menus to at least get started. As I approach the bar, this man is on the phone probably taking a to go order (at least I hope it wasn’t a personal call). So I patiently wait behind him as to not interrupt. Thinking I would just ask him to see some menus to take back to the table after he was done with the phone call. Instead, about 5 seconds after I am standing there, patiently waiting. He, mid-call, whips his head around and snaps, “Yes?!?” I stammer, ” I was just wondering if I could get some menus?” He visibly rolls his eyes and says “Ummm…yeah. I will be over there AFTER I FINISH MY PHONE CALL.” I, of course, am taken aback by this utter rudeness so I just kinda stare at him, trying to process what just happened. But before I can even say anything, he then yells “What?! What are you staring at me like that for?” I shake my head and mutter that I’m sorry and head back to the table, bewildered. He shortly follows behind me and approaches the table with two menus that he promptly throws onto the table and before anyone can say a word he screams, “YOU’RE WELCOME!!” and storms away. I wish I was making this up, but it literally just happened and oh my God. Needless to say as soon as he did that, I told him there would be no need for waters because we were going to go. To which he replied, and I quote, “Yup!’. So, alas I have no review of this restaurant because I didn’t even get to eat here. But I will review the horrific welcome I got to this place my first time there. If this is your standard of service, being in the business of hospitality, then maybe I dodged a bullet not eating here. Because if you can’t even make someone feel welcome off the bat, the experience don’t get better. Just saying. To summarize, do not go here. It’s not worth the disrespect. This individual I encountered has to be related to the owner in some way, shape, or form because there is no way they could still be employed otherwise. It was bad y’all. BEWARE!!!

Our family came here for dinner and we all loved it.
My nephew ordered a fish fry, it was one of the best fish fries we have ever tried. They use codfish not haddock.
I ordered the fish parmigiano(pictured below) also cod fish. It was delicious.
This place is a hidden gem for sure .

I ordered for pickup, and the 10 minutes I waited there were not great. Very, very cluttered and dirty. Pasta for the ziti was overcooked to a paste. Gnocchi was a solid mass fused together with a ladle of cold sauce on top. A table was complaining about wait time. Single staff seemed to be overwhelmed by the few tables present. Sidewalk was dangerously slippery right outside the door. Have eaten there a few times happily over the years but lately it seems like they can’t keep up with running the place, and the details are really slipping. I normally wouldn’t have written a review, but this time was really bad. Reminded me of something out of kitchen nightmares.

A unique Italian restaurant on Niagara Street. A wide variety of specialties made of the highest quality and in substantial portions. Limited parking in the adjacent lot with street parking also available. Great atmosphere.

This is definitely an “old school” Italian restaurant with an extensive menu. The service was good and my meal was ready for pickup and hot when I got there.
I was excited for finding an every-day fish fry near me when I had a hankering for a fish fry.
The fish fry was good and I was able to have a side of spaghetti instead of macaroni salad.
In the future I’d like to try the scallop and chicken dishes, there were dishes served here that I haven’t really seen at other restaurants.
The parking lot has lots of spaces and has a small “beer garden” section in the rear for outdoor dining when it’s nice out.
The salads are all romaine lettuce, not spinach or other greens.

I arrived at a repurposed house claiming to be the best. Walking in I was overwhelmed with the decor, no photos will capture the scope of it. Slightly wary, I ordered what I can say is one of the best meals of my life. Take the time and go to this small…but uniquely decorated restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

This is a unique place and it happens to be close to my house. Pasta fagioli is delicious. Complimentary garlic knots are tasty. Italian house dressing is outstanding. You gotta try it! Veal marsala was wonderful. Penne parm, not so great but menu is huge so lots to choose from. I didn’t like the sauce but that’s just me. Wine is a bit over priced for a little neighborhood joint. I’ve had the pizza before and it’s OK. This is Buffalo, so lots of competition, but not bad. Come here for the ambience/experience and friendly owners who are always working. Chicken Madeira was absolutely the best. Onions, garlic, red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, mushrooms and pine nuts over penne pasta

Faso’s is quickly becoming my special, secret spot I visit for a culinary pick-me-up. It’s a total hole in the wall, with relatively inexpensive, excellent Italian-American food they’ve been serving for more decades than I’ve been alive (I’m 43) by real, down to earth people that aren’t going to kiss your butt. The decor inside is outrageously tacky & unique (think lit up Xmas decorations all year round, pictures of Italy, pics of Jesus and the Virgin Mary…) Remember to bring quarters for their vintage jukebox, shut the front door tightly behind you otherwise the broken alarm quietly buzzed & order a bottle of wine bc the service is very slow, you’ll have to time to sober up… Patience is all part of the experience! Solo, with a date, with your family… Faso’s is the coolest place in BlackRock, hands down.
