" Our experience at Velvet Buffalo was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and shown to our table promptly. The ambiance is cozy yet upscale, making it perfect for a special occasion. We started with the focaccia with herb oil and it was simply divine. For the main, I ordered the handmade orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe—absolute perfection! The meal was rich in flavors that you only find in places that truly understand Italian cuisine. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and they even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and experience. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Another great visit to Velvet Buffalo! I came for lunch with some friends and we had a fabulous time. The service was quick, and our server was really friendly, giving us great recommendations. I had a classic Caesar salad to start and then moved on to the homemade gnocchi. It was amazing! The desserts are also worth saving room for; they were exquisite! I suggest arriving early for lunch, though, as it gets crowded. Very much worth the hype; I'll certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits to Velvet Buffalo, my opinion remains high. The service here is almost always excellent, and the food is consistently delicious. It's one of those rare places where no matter what you order, you know it will be good! I’ve enjoyed their fresh pastas, and their seasonal specials keep things interesting. The atmosphere keeps changing with the times, but the charm remains. It’s well worth the trip and the expense—definitely a regular spot for us! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Velvet Buffalo for a family gathering recently, and while the atmosphere was inviting, the service was a bit lacking. Our server seemed overwhelmed and it took a while for our food to arrive. When it did, however, I was pleased with the flavor of the dishes. We shared a variety of entrées among the table, but the standout was definitely the seafood risotto. Although the wait time was frustrating, I'm willing to give them another chance due to the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts about Velvet Buffalo after reading mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is vibrant and fresh, making for a pleasant dining experience. The food was excellent; I ordered the scallops and was blown away by the flavors. We shared a pizza, and it was truly a standout! The only downside was the dessert menu wasn't very extensive, but what we had was delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the buzz, we decided to finally check out Velvet Buffalo. Our experience was rather average. The ambiance is nice with stylish decor and good lighting; however, it was a bit noisy. I opted for the seafood pasta and was a bit disappointed with how overcooked it was. On the other hand, my partner ordered the pork chop, which was excellent. The service started slow, but our waiter was very attentive once he got going. I may give it another shot, but it wasn’t enough to blow me away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Velvet Buffalo was a delightful surprise! I went there expecting an average Italian restaurant but was blown away by the authentic flavors and beautifully presented dishes. Each dish reflects a modern twist on traditional recipes. The wait staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the enjoyable experience. I had a wonderful saffron risotto with seafood that was creamy and perfectly cooked. My partner's dish was equally impressive. The only downside was the pricing—it is on the higher side, but worth it for the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)
