Honestly, can’t believe we haven’t tried this place sooner. Incredible service, incredible food. It was very slow on a Thursday evening, which I enjoyed as well!

We are in town to visit our daughter this weekend and chose to make a reservation at Osteria because we saw that they could accommodate her gluten allergy. Our server Courtney was so professional & accommodating throughout our entire meal. She went over tge entire menu to let us know exactly what they could make gluten-free. For an appetizer we got a Caesar salad without the croutons and the risotto bites. For dinner , we ordered the twin filet with broccolini, a gluten-free pizza with pepperoni and the chicken parmesan with spaghetti. Everything was delicious. We didn’t even have enough room for dessert but we will definitely be back.

We started with the Aquavite and Nani mule, which were both excellent cocktails. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the same standard. The Risotto Bites had a tater tot-like texture rather than the creamy risotto we expected. The Carbonara Malfaldine, despite its strong online reviews, fell flat for us—it was heavy on cheese but lacking in meat and overall flavor. The Braised Short Rib was acceptable but didn’t have the depth of flavor we were hoping for.
On a positive note, the service was attentive—our hostess checked on us regularly—and the atmosphere was welcoming. Given the high reviews, we expected more from the food, but perhaps we just didn’t order the right dishes.

Enjoyed a lovely New Year’s Eve dinner here. First, the bartenders were fantastic. Very friendly and engaging with patrons. Had the focaccia al forno while at the bar and it was served fresh and hot. We were seated 10 minutes early for our reservation. (Slight hiccup, I asked the hostess to move us to a different table and she declined saying there was a similar seating reservation at the same time. That table was never occupied until we left 90 minutes later.) Our server was spectacular. She made contact with us shortly after seating and shared the specials, but also commented on the ones she recommended. We ordered the “coccoli” off the special appetizers. This was a deconstructed app of dough, cheese, prosciutto and giardenera. It was incredible. For dinner, Mrs BP combined a salad and appetizer stuffed peppers. I opted for shrimp pomodoro. The shrimp were cooked well and not fishy or chewy. The pasta also was in just the right amount of sauce. The manager was actively assisting wait staff with food delivery and checking on patron’s experiences. The decor is quant and I would highly recommend the restaurant for dinner or drinks and an appetizer if in the area.

Best to have reservations! The ambiance is romantic. A little pricey but delicious! They had their limited chicken lasagna, which was different. I would’ve order again.

I don’t think the restaurant knows what it is or at least I definitely don’t. You walk into a rowdy bar and then get seated at a romantic restaurant in the back. The service was good and they kept our drinks refilled and a very nice young man with an ankle injury was very friendly and knowledgeable of the specials. I ordered the chicken parmiangiano and my wife the bolognese. It was more acidic than I’d like and very sparse on the sauce. Slightly overpriced and table was small. I’d say probably not the best Italian food in Buffalo.

We used to really enjoy this place and visited several times before COVID—it was one of the better Italian spots in Western NY. Unfortunately, our recent experience was disappointing. The quality just isn’t what it used to be. My daughter ordered a pizza, and to be honest, even a frozen one from Walmart would’ve been better. It’s a shame, because we had some great meals here in the past. Hoping they can get back to the level they used to be at.

Looking for a family owned Italian restaurant and found this place through Google search. It was rated well and did not disappoint. The chicken parmesan was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend Osteria 166 as a great place for Italian food.

My go to restaurant in Buffalo. Love the food. The Carl is the best and the handmade ravioli is hearty. The food in general is very filling. Only small wish is that the servers would provide clean cutlery when the main comes. Otherwise the place is perfect.

We showed up for our 8PM reservation, got promptly waited on, and had drinks in hand within 5 minutes. Our server was friendly, as was everyone that we encountered. Our food was delicious! We can’t wait to go back!
