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.

Before I lay it out it is a shame as the place had a nice ambiance and the menu looked quite appealing. Where everything fellshort was my aunt was seated while I was parking my car. We were brought water when I joined the table and after we literallysat for 20 mins literally not even being offered any drink options. I would understand it if the place was busy but there wasliterally three tables and even when I made the effort to make eye contact Like hello we would like to place an order nothing clued in. Service 101 is to at least offer a drink other than water so 20 minutes does not feel like an eternity. Ihave been in the service industry for years and it seems simple to me you have less tables you can maximize the customer serviceexperience and build rapport which will in return increase the gratuity and make up for the short failing of the reducedcustomer base at that time. In conclusion after watching a table that literally came in after us get served and actual getservice and full orders I decided to up and leave as at this point I felt my dinner would not be much better than the underperforming table service. In conclusion, we walked over to the other side of the mall and got a table a Joey Chinook. We wereseated right away and literally had drinks served and orders taken within less than 5 minutes. They went above and beyond forus as I was still frustrated and was venting my frustrations with our new server at Joey. I still was disbelief of theexperience we had a Buffo and was trying to get beyond it. I am sure this is not the standard for the restaurant but maybe thisreview can aid in coaching for proper table service. The below picture was the meal at Joey. The server Amelia was exce

The pasta was overly oily and too salty. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the waitress was friendly and the drinks were good.

Luckily, Buffo Ristorante was not only open but also quite peaceful that day! The service was quick, friendly, and professional. If I ever redesign my everyday dining decor, I would love to replicate the charming and decorative dishes that Buffo uses. The wine selection perfectly suited our needs, and when our Napoletano-style pizza arrived, topped with Italian pepperoni, Fior di Latte, our request for additional Prosciutto-Cotto, and arugula, we were thoroughly impressed. While enjoying our meal, we both remarked that this pizza was even better than some we had during our trip to Italy.

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!
