    My date was on a flight back from Paris and sat next to a lovely couple from Buffalo who suggested Giancarlo’s. And boy were they spot on!!! First of all, our waitress, Olivia, was delightful and very knowledgeable with the menu. She and the other staff were on top of all our needs. There were so many choices I can’t wait to go back and try more. The filet mignon was the best I have ever had!! My date had the oysters and was very impressed! Our cocktails were delicious as well!! We don’t know the name of that couple on the plane, but thank you for steering us towards Giancarlo’s! It was well worth it!!

    The food was spectacular! The sauce was like homemade, and the portions were HUGE. I had the lasagna because of reviews I had seen and it did not disappoint. Impossible to eat all of it. My daughter got the gnocchi, and I sampled it - excellent. The chicken parm was enough for two (maybe three!) to eat. Highly recommended!

    Good food! Great that it was open on Christmas Eve. A little unorganized at first, probably due to the holiday. Food was great and our waitress kind. Would visit again

    The food was good, a decent menu selection. The service was average, our server seemed very new and not very attentive. This was on a Wednesday night; the restaurant was not busy. Overall it was an okay experience.
