Orazio's Restaurant

We have been there numerous times and we were there just this Saturday with a group of 11. Everyone had a different meal and we also shared many of their appetizers which are not the same old that you find at so many restaurants. The Orangini was amazing as were the Clams Casino and mussels, which I'm not nuts about mussels but these were great. I had chicken parmesan with a side of pasta con vodka(the best by far anywhere) I could only eat 1/2 because I had to save room for their famous peanut butter pie. They did another amazing job!! more

the service was wonderful - they were attentive without being overbearing. We were there for a small - very small - family dinner after a wedding - they were accomodating in every way. The banquet room was lovely and spacious, and the food was very, very good. Leftovers were wrapped for us. I recommend them highly. The price was most reasonable. Pros: fantastic service Cons: can't think of any more

I love Vodka sauce, the best one I have tasted thus far is Carmine's on Transit. My boyfriend and I went to Orazio's on Sunday because they are rated best vodka sauce and PB pie in Buffalo. Everything was wonderful. He started out with a lobster bique soup that he thought was great. They serve their own homemade bread FRESH from the oven for EVERY table! One of the best basic Italian breads I have had in a while. I liked that they didn't just serve it with just butter but they offer olive oil and cheese to dip it into! The salads are pretty basic, but fresh and their house balsamic is pretty good. For dinner I got the penne con vodka with chicken and he got the steak orazio which is sirloin stuffed with different things. Their pasta is home made and was great, the vodka sauce is not the best I have ever had BUT was wonderful....I could have gone without the chicken which was a little tough and didn't have any flavor but it wasn't too bad. The portions of both of our foods was very generous...I should have 2 more meals from mine! His steak was cooked exactly as he likes and he was very happy with his choice. I did try some of his penne with their red sauce and I didn't really like the sauce. It's a little sweet for me but he enjys sweet red sauce so he liked it very much. We NEVER get dessert since we usually don't have room/I usually watch by carb and sugar intake but since their known for PB pie and it is our fave we decided to get some and I'm glad we did! Best PB we have ever had! One of the best meals I have ever had, the meal was great from start to finish! Pros: food was great, server nice Cons: atmosphere isn't intimate and servers are a bit older and don't have much personality or that knowledgeablebut nice more
