Housed within Saks Fifth Avenue at Chinook Centre, Buffo celebrates the simplicity and generosity of Italian cooking. The Buffo menu features timeless classics showcasing quality ingredients, from soul-satisfying pizzas and handmade pastas, to local meats and seafood. The menu also encourages sharing with its wide selection of antipasti, charcuterie, and vegetables. Buffo nods to classic osterias found throughout Italy, where traditional recipes and old-world cooking techniques transcend trends and are honoured throughout generations.

Excellent all around. Very considerate with my gluten free allergy. The service was very good and they didn’t mind that we sat around and chatted long after we finished and paid.

Food is actually pretty good on the server was great but the length of time to get your food is way too long and this is my experience from this restaurant every time. Also the wine selections are something that you would get at Denny’s just saying – – for an Italian restaurant they need to improve the selections and not have overpriced bottles of wine on 50% off that are mediocre choices – – at least have something reasonable

Dining at this restaurant was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was transported to the heart of Italy. The ambiance, the décor, and especially the food, all contributed to an authentic Italian experience. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was crafted with care and bursting with rich, vibrant flavors that took me straight to the streets of Rome. Whether it was the perfectly al dente pasta or the melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu, each bite was a celebration of Italy’s culinary heritage. But what made the experience even more special was the staff. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that every guest felt like part of the family. Their warmth and hospitality added to the overall experience, I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their delicious menu

Pasta sauces was bland. If you wanted Parmesan for your pasta it was an extra 3 $. PIZZA was disappointing. Staff did not understand their menu. Signs on the exterior and noted on the menu indicated Wednesday 1/2 price wine by the bottle. Waitress would not honour it. Service was very slow. Would not go back.
