Trattoria Aroma is one of my favorite restaurants, so I can hardly be called unbiased. That said, having just returned from Tuscany, Trattoria Aroma is as close to the real thing as you'll find in Buffalo. The food is delicious whether you order from the menu or choose one of the many specials they feature. You can get everything from a brick oven thin crust pizza to a wonderful plate of mussels to a delicious serving of braised short ribs.
The wine list is full of great red wines at reasonable prices. They also have many wines available by the glass. Additionally, there is a full bar that attracts a great blend of people to enjoy a cocktail.
The restaurant itself is pleasantly decorated and the tables are not right on top of each other. In the summer, they have a great patio where you can enjoy your meal and the sunshine.
The wait staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive. Have a question, don't be afraid to ask. They will always give an honest recommendation.

After touring the Naval Park, or taking a cruise, you may be hungry. This place is more than just a Chinese restaurant; it offers a fine seafood buffet and a complete menu of seafood and other dishes. And it's right there by the waterfront.
Favorite Dish: The buffet is great.

If you even wonder why Buffalo wings are called Buffalo wings than look no further. They were invented in Buffalo NY at the world famous Anchor Bar. If you've never had buffalo wings then I truly pity you, for you have not lived. Sampling is a must for any visitor to the north east of North America.
Favorite Dish: Buffalo wings. Make sure you pick up some outstanding "suicidal recipe" sauce to take home. You'll be in heart clogging heaven!

This place is slightly grungy but somehow pulls it off without seeming neglected. It's a cool place with local art and simple tables/atmosphere and all. The staff are cool and nice and the prices aren't too bad. And good music too. A lot of University at Buffalo students come during the year since it's right on Main Street at South campus.
Favorite Dish: I highly recommend a falafel wrap (I get mine with hummus instead of tahini sauce). Their other wraps are great too.

We came to Buffalo for the wings and the 4am last call. The wings were pretty good. Nothing amazing, but it's something to do. Go to the first place in the US to officially serve chicken wings and try their alleged original recipe. It's not even a 5 minute drive from the border.
Favorite Dish: Chicken wings...

This was a bit special, even more so that the fact that I was:
a) STARVING
b) In Good Company
c) I wasn't allowed to pay
Here I go again, talking Buffalo "FRIENDLY": Tod, his spectacularly beautiful lady friend AND a georgeous blonde insisted that if I wanted something to eat then: "Jump in the car boy, let's go to Mothers............"
I'm a trusting guy, in a strange town (SORRY CITY!) and went along for the ride - it's almost midnight now as we duck and dart through the deserted backstreets of downtown Bufffalo and then pull up at Mothers - Hi Guys, Thank You Guys - I am instantly in serious "Chill and Friends" Country.
"Have the steak sandwich, John." suggests Tod, as he orders a round of beers.
Favorite Dish: Well, guess what my favourite dish here is????

OK, This is where it all started and hence MUST be on any cook's culinary pigrimage.
As a bar/restaurant in its own right The Anchor is well worth a visit, managing to juggle being a friendly local bar as well as a tourist destination. Staff are friendly and well-informed about the bar's history, there's a decent range of beers (McSorley's if my memory serves me well) - but as always here in the US - TOO BLOODY COLD!!!
The food offering is a pretty extensive menu with an Italian bias, including home-made pasta dishes, pizza, burgers et al and is perfectly executed.
Decor-wise, the claim is that all the wall ornamentation has been built up over the years by donations from customers and the tale of the first license plate is almost believable.
There is a lot of hype, but it's good hype, fun and friendly - well worth the Amtrak ride from NY!!!
Favorite Dish: Well it has to be doesn't it!!!!!
Yep, the World-famous wings!
And so here's me adding to the hype - these are GOOD wings, I had mine HOT and they lived up to my expectations - they also do them in "suicidal" - DON'T!!!
Chicken wings must have been done elsewhere before, somewhere, but who first thought of serving them with a hot sauce, crisp celery and the bleu cheese dip? The celery and dip act as the perfect counterfoil to the heat of the wings and whilst I have had better wings and better sauce I cannot match the spot-on combination here at The Anchor.
Not only that but it ain't hugely expensive either :)

This is a good place for a quick lunch/supper in Buffalo,NY
close to Univ. at Buffalo(North Campus). The deli features
vegan/vegetarian menu(along with a few meat items).
Chef Toni is without doubt The Soup Nazi who whips up
a dizzying array of soups many of which are vegan. The menu
also features a few salads, sandwiches and stir fries. The
kitchen gets an A+ for Quality Assurance!
Without doubt the next stop after Niagara Falls...
Favorite Dish: Hummus stuffit washed down with a soup. Vegetable stir-fry is
good -- though a bit bland.

Very pub-like local brewery. They have tons of different home brews, as well as eclectic other brews. Their food is SUPER cheap and you get pretty good portions! Free peanuts, too! (and you get to throw the shells on the ground!) Rare find in a hoity-toity area like amherst/williamsville.

This place is a bar and a great place to get chicken wings. They have about 10 different combinations between a set quantity of wings, a bucket of fries, a pitcher of soda and a pitcher of beer. The wings can be hotter than you ever imagined, or to suit your taste. The last time I was there, there was a warning at the bottom of the menu, and this is what it said: "Warning- Our mild wings are hot, our medium wings are very hot, and our hot wings are very, very hot." If you've never had hot wings before, then I suggest you get the mild with the hot sauce on the side.
Favorite Dish: Wings and beer!
