We went for a birthday dinner and Mike was our waiter. My kid's haven't been taken to a "fancy" restaurant in many years. Mike was able to put them at ease with the menu and accommodate their requests and questions. I ordered the "Apple a Day" mule and it was delicious. The service was at an excellent pace which allowed us to eat each course and have time for conversation in between without being rushed or waiting too long. The other staff were attentive and always filling water or clearing plates. The Caesar salad with the prosciutto was enjoyed by everyone. Everyone enjoyed the main courses as well. This is not a typical place that my family dines at. We had a wonderful experience for a very special occasion. Well done!

The food is very good and the only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because I swear I tasted traditional Caesar dressing with anchovy on the salad even though they claimed it was ranch. Someone else at our table noticed and stated the same thing I did. I didn't mind, although I'm not a seafood person I can appreciate a good Caesar dressing. Atmosphere is amazing. It's the most Beautiful, and extravagant restaurant in WNY. Nothing chintzy that's for sure. It's got many rooms and dining areas plus bars. I do like it there a lot. It isn't a cheaper place and that's perfectly acceptable because you get what you pay for and then some. Lighting is great also. Bathrooms, there are many and some are smaller than others and some are more decorated than others. Very nice. The servers were awesome and attentive. Yeah, this place is a Great choice, especially for a romantic evening or even a business dinner.

We had the most incredible experience at Italian Prime at Salvatore’s for my cousin’s graduation dinner. Our servers, Giovanni and Jeff (apologies if the spelling is off!), were absolutely phenomenal. They went above and beyond to accommodate our big family and made the entire evening feel special. They were so helpful in answering all our questions, keeping the table tidy, making great menu suggestions, and creating such a fun and welcoming atmosphere with their humor and personalities. The food was absolutely delicious, and the desserts were next level—especially the coconut pie! Everything from start to finish was perfect. The customer service truly made this a 10/10 experience. We’ll definitely be coming back—and we’ll be asking for Giovanni and Jeff again. Thank you both for making the night unforgettable!

I had the pleasure of dining at an Italian restaurant During my recent trip to Buffalo that truly exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly cooked pasta to the rich, savory sauces. The service was equally outstanding; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The restaurant's decor was unique and charming, with a cozy yet stylish atmosphere that added to the overall experience. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and a warm, welcoming dining experience.

As a vegan, they were able to be flexible and creatively the chef was able to come up with several vegan options which I appreciated. I had a delicious pasta primavera which was excellent!!!! Even the server said “that looks fantastic”. We both agreed others would enjoy it as well. Good news is they are planning to add more vegan and gluten free options. Great experience all around. Live jazz music in the bar was amazing!!!
