Make sure to indulge in the delicious in-house pasta and Buffo bread. Our group also enjoyed dishes like chicken parmigiana, gnocchi, calamari appetizer, and more. Everyone was satisfied with their choices! Although the restaurant is not located in the trendy downtown area but rather outside of a mall, do not let that deter you from experiencing a fantastic meal!

Very fortunately for both of us Buffo Ristorante was not only open but also very quiet on this particular day! The service was prompt, friendlyand professional. If I ever choose to trade out my everyday china I will want to replicate what Buffo uses for their charmingand decorative dishes. The wine selection was perfect for our needs and when our Napoletano-Styled pizza arrived, completewith Italian pepperoni, Fior di Latte, our request for additional Prosciutto cotto and topped with arugula we were deeplyimpressed. As we ate, we both said, This is better pizza than we have had in a number of pizzerias in Italy itself.

Also shared a Caesar salad and we each got a pasta; the fettuccini and the penneon rose sauce. The best part of our experience was the amazing service we got from Venize. We want to come back to try thepizza, which we hear was good.
