Great lasagna...however side salad is just iceberg lettuce and a slice of tomato... I would pass on that. Decent bottle beer selection, of which I had Sierra Nevada pale ale. Def a staple of buffalo.

Lunch specials are great. Chicken Parm is the best! Regulars know that Chef’s has Birch Beer on tap - a treat!

Great Calamari then veal parm and spaghetti parm at fantastic prices. Brought bottles of sauce home. Very attentive wait staff, very friendly and courteous.

Normally I don't like Chicken Parm, but Chef's has me loving it. Everything here is worth the night out. Must Visit!!

Service was good and food came out quickly but french onion and minestrone soup were luke warm. Sauce is very sweet. Portions are smaller than expected. Make a reservation

House sauce has meat in it. If you're not big on red meat, be sure to specify plain sauce on your pasta.

Lunch based on reviews Bread is great My husband's ravioli with a light marinara was ok. My chicken & broccoli alfredo was meh. Chicken nice & broccoli al dente. Truthfully Olive Garden is better.

Alfredo with broccoli and I received broccoli with spiral noodles? Now I called to ask if they changed their noodles & they told me they didn't have spiral! That I ordered anti pasta yada yada

Everyone raves about the spaghetti parm but I always go with spaghetti and meatballs. Place is usually packed solid for dinner so make a reservation.

Parm your sadness, fools. #2 on the list of places that Buffalonians visit to eat their feelings of ennui.

Best minestrone soup I've ever had. Have a cappuccino for dessert!
MC BApril 7, 2015
Huge servings of premade food. Buffalo institution. Who's who of guests. Come for the people, not the food.

Waitress at next table has stood at the table talking the entire time (> 40 minutes) to friends of hers, & gave them free desert. Ridiculous. My waitress was great though!
