• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

    Russell's Steaks Chops & More never disappoints. My husband and I celebrated my birthday. We were greeted by Mr Salvatore, who is always so gracious. Our waiter was Humberto, who was wonderful, patient and friendly. His service, along with the staff helping in our area, was absolutely perfect. We started with wine, then the world's most delicious coffee (our cups were never empty), before moving on to our entrees. We both had Steak ala Russell, which was cooked to perfection. Had to pass on dessert because, honestly, we couldn't manage another bite, and we have enough leftovers for our Christmas dinner. Thank you Russell, Mark and Humberto for the best birthday date night. We'll be back soon.

    Great dining experience! We went to celebrate our anniversary and they didn’t disappoint. Our server (Chyna) was terrific. Great pace to the meal - amazing service - and all three phases (app, main, and dessert) were great! Worth the price 😊
