" What a delightful experience! The food was superb, particularly the chicken parm! My family thoroughly enjoyed the dining room's atmosphere, adorned with historical photos. Our server was attentive and made the experience seamless. But be prepared, the portions are massive! We could hardly finish our meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the place for great Italian food! I had the chicken parmesan and my partner had the spaghetti parm. Both were phenomenal—the flavors balanced perfectly. I was impressed with the rich sauce and beautifully melted cheese. Atmosphere was friendly and inviting, we left feeling fulfilled and happy. I highly recommend Chef's! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a disappointment! I had been craving authentic Italian food for weeks, and Chef’s fell short of my expectations. The pasta was overcooked, and the sauce was nearly bland. It didn't have the homemade touch I was hoping for. The atmosphere was nice, but I was let down by the lack of flavor in my dishes and slow service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my meal, but I would recommend going off-peak to avoid long waits. The spaghetti parm was beautiful; exactly what I needed. However, the service was a little slow, and I received a wrong side dish. But my server quickly rectified that, and overall I had a good time here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited about dining here since I had heard about Chef's from a friend. The spaghetti parm was really cheesy and filling. However, the service could have been better; we faced long wait times for everything. The vibe in the restaurant was excellent though, making it an enjoyable outing overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Chef's, it reinforces why it's a Buffalo favorite. Their spaghetti parm is indeed the best! The cheesy goodness takes it to another level. The atmosphere is relaxed yet buzzing, which I enjoy. On my last visit, the staff did seem a bit overwhelmed but still provided good service. This place stays on top of my list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been going to Chef's for years, and it's always a treat! The spaghetti parm is a must-try every time. The atmosphere is lively with a family-friendly vibe. Sometimes the wait can be long during dinner hours, but the food and service more than make up for it. I love that they’ve kept their classic recipes alive! " (*Curated Review*)
