I am amazed my husband and I have not been to this restaurant sooner! What a gem. The owners are fantastic. Kathy greeted us and had us seated promptly. Our server was great. But the food is amazing. My husband and I both had the classic lasagna - OMG melt in your mouth. The piece is huge and I thought... More

Can't say enough about this place. Have been there 6-8 times and every time is perfect. Kathleen is incredibly focused on the customer experience. Service and attention to detail are outstanding. Food is very reasonably priced, portions are appropriate (read: not typical stuff yourself American portions). Food is delicious (try the pesto!!!). Wines are fantastic, sometimes some sangria and some... More

Vinos is a regular destination for friends. They greet you like old friends and feed you like you're special. We love the homemade foods and the extra touches that make a warm and wonderful evening. The place is small, so you need to call ahead to get a table, but dining at the bar with Kathy is also a great... More

Tonight the lobster ravioli were like a wonderful novel, where you read the first thousand pages as fast as an Evelyn Woodhead speed-reading student, but save the last 50 pages for weeks, just so the experience doesn't end. So it was tonight with the ravioli: the first three were devoured, the last one lingered over, since it was the last.... More

Vinos has the best Italian food. Everything on the menu is good especially the lasagna and the gigantic meatballs. And the dessert is amazing too. The service is fantastic. They're the nicest people.

Vino's is one of the best little restaurants in Buffalo. The food is homemade with skill, and not an individually-quick-frozen assemblage that seems to please the palates of some of the other reviewers here. The desserts by the proprietress are exceptional, but it is the specials of the day that really please. They know what they're doing and they do... More

You will be hard pressed to find any establishment where you feel more welcome. The food is good, atmosphere nice, service excellent. Each time we go, we feel more appreciated. It's on our list of regular stops.

The food was decent, although my pasta pomodoro was pretty bland, but friends who ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli were satisfied. My meatball was forgotten until I asked for it midway through the meal, but the server apologized and said she would give it to me on the house. After ordering 2 bottles of wine and coffee we were asked to... More

This is a cute little restaurant, with a nice big parking lot. Good thing, because it is packed with diners every time I see it open. I believe their hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 5pm until... I am not sure what the extreme reviews are based upon, in my estimation this is a basic Italian restaurant, delightful dishes, very very... More

I have eaten here several times and have always found the service and food impeccable. The owner/bartender greets you and makes sure you are comfortable. The service was quick and attentive to our needs. The owner cleary kept her eye on everything going on in the restaurant. The salad was very fresh and the ravioli was not and very tasty.... More
