My order of Braised Short Ribs was fantastic. It included mashed potatoes, root vegetables and two onion rings. My husband ordered steak and it comes with nothing. He ordered a separate potato. I was surprised that his plate was just the small steak. I thought they could have dressed it up just a bit with some lettuce, sliced tomato or a few onion rings. Especially since the price was so high.

Excellent food and atmosphere! Had a terrific brunch with friends and looking forward to our next visit!

Great food at an affordable price. Really good service and nice beer list.

Last night was my husband's and my first time ever going to this restaurant and in my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Buffalo we have been to. It is our Anniversary and we had Victoria (Tori) for our server and she was so knowledgeable of the menu. I am Gluten Intolerant and she knew right away what I could indulge in and what was off limits. She had the specials memorized like a boss and was so attentive. The steak was cooked to perfection and the lobster risotto was delicious. The Limencello Margarita was the best margarita I have ever had, and I love tequila and margaritas! They have little biography cards on your table about your server, which I think is a great touch. I can't wait to come back to Buffalo and come back to Giancarlo's and request Tori!

The calamari is, possibly, the best I've ever had. A light, flavourful ... I'm not going to call it a crust because it is much more delicate than that. It's not a breading either. But there is a little something on the outside of the calamari that makes it delicious. The aioli is lovely as well. Chicken schnitzel had a little too much oil on the plate, but the seasoning was spot on and every taste fantastic.
