This is definitely an “old school” Italian restaurant with an extensive menu. The service was good and my meal was ready for pickup and hot when I got there. I was excited for finding an every-day fish fry near me when I had a hankering for a fish fry. The fish fry was good and I was able to have a side of spaghetti instead of macaroni salad. In the future I’d like to try the scallop and chicken dishes, there were dishes served here that I haven’t really seen at other restaurants. The parking lot has lots of spaces and has a small “beer garden” section in the rear for outdoor dining when it’s nice out. The salads are all romaine lettuce, not spinach or other greens.

I arrived at a repurposed house claiming to be the best. Walking in I was overwhelmed with the decor, no photos will capture the scope of it. Slightly wary, I ordered what I can say is one of the best meals of my life. Take the time and go to this small…but uniquely decorated restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

This is a unique place and it happens to be close to my house. Pasta fagioli is delicious. Complimentary garlic knots are tasty. Italian house dressing is outstanding. You gotta try it! Veal marsala was wonderful. Penne parm, not so great but menu is huge so lots to choose from. I didn't like the sauce but that's just me. Wine is a bit over priced for a little neighborhood joint. I've had the pizza before and it's OK. This is Buffalo, so lots of competition, but not bad. Come here for the ambience/experience and friendly owners who are always working. Chicken Madeira was absolutely the best. Onions, garlic, red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, mushrooms and pine nuts over penne pasta

The place is amazing. Charlie will converse in Italian with you if you can speak which is awesome. Families, especially with Italian - Sicilian heritage need to get their children and grandchildren there to experience this kind of atmosphere before it's gone forever. For the few reviews complaining about the decor, they just don't get it and never will. Food is incredible and they will prepare to order for you. Pat is the owner, cook, waitress and everything with Charlie helping here and there. She is as hard working as you get. Anyone who needs a jolt of ambition need to just talk to her for 5 mins. Great people, old school homemade food, super experience everytime!!

The food was excellent! Prices are comparable to the area too. Had to go back because we received the wrong order, but they were very apologetic and I don't fault them for a simple mistake. Will definitely order from here again!!

I loved this small family owned restaurant, the evening I was there no children nor grandchildren helping out, both workers were either octogenarians or very close. They were very sweet and helpful. Felt like my childhood, at a place in Smithtown on Long Island called Angelo's (aka The Hotel) near the train trestle. Checkered table clothes, warm rolls, a bottle of Chianti. Then grandma's lasagna and delicious gnocchi. I will return. They already had Christmas decoration up, it was a lovely/festive evening.

The decor of this place feels like it's new Years eve in Little Italy. The lighting Mean Streets. The hospitality what Olive Garden ads pretend to be. Was really impressed by the no frills eating experience as Faso's. Had a white cheese pizza. I usually don't do white but it is a special. Very crispy, not too heavy, rich garlic and oil flavor. Anchovies make it even better! Do not hold on it, it's not strong at all. So if you want to go back in time for family Italian cuisine go here. I'm definetely coming back here again for more.

Amazing little amazing little find. Got to meet the owner as well. HE WAS STILL WORKING THE BAR!! been open for 43 years. Eclectic and very special for sure. Food has huge portions. The couple that was in dining already couldn't say anything bad about the place. I got a fish fry dinner to go for $12.95 plus tax in the service with amazing.

We decided to have Sunday dinner at Faso's. Craving Veal parmigian and saw through research that not only were they open but that they did have veal on the menu. Having never been before, we were surprised at how small it seemed. Kinda home like in atmosphere. A nice change from the overly bright restaurants. Our server was very pleasant and timely. The meal was fabulous. Now, disclaimer, I have had many a Sunday dinner at family homes that served home made Italian. So I was taken back to that time by this food. Everything was wonderful. We will definitely be going back!

Very authentic Italian restaurant!! Have to be patient and understanding. Owner and wife work the floor very cute couple. Old Italian owners that speak more Italian than English ( loved it) food was delicious not typical main stream dishes very homemade. I had the full Monty. 100% recommend it.

We typically meet for lunch once per month as a group of 7 people. The person whose turn it is to select a restaurant works at Buffalo State heard lots of great reviews from co-workers about Faso's Italian Restaurant. We enjoyed the authentic homemade flavors of red sauce and chicken marsala and scallops dishes. Others enjoyed the lasagna. Service we quick and very kind and friendly. We enjoy the decor and ambiance. Thank you to all who made this a wonderful experience. Ciao.

I highly recommend this place! First time we have been here and we love it so far! The owners are so sweet and nice. A little old couple and they are so nice! The food is excellent! I got the potato gnocchi and my husband got a hot chicken finger sub! We will definitely be back! Such a small and cute little restaurant!!!!!

Amazing food! Its a little modest place but makes you feel at home. Extensive menu with lots of genuine Italian dishes, even ones you normally don’t see at restaurants. Props to the owners (the cutest little old Italian couple), they served and prepared our meals!Best peanut butter pie I’ve ever had!!! Will definitely be back when we are in the area again! The photo is their spinach artichoke dip with pasta chips. So yummy!

Quaint, excellent authentic Italian cuisine, loved the service, owners... going back & telling everyone, a hidden gem

Made a wrong turn and just happened to drive by. Older neighborhood, was very pleasantly surprised !! Authentic Italian. The egg plant parmesan was amazing and I couldn't eat it all. Had a large portion to take home. The owner was very nice!!

This place is really great... I don't usually leave reviews but this place deserves it!! I had the veal parmesan and it was 10 out of 10... I would give it 11 if I could!! My wife got lasagna and again, 11 if I could!!! Do yourself a favor, GO HERE!!!

Quaint place with a varied assortment of decor. The food and service was excellent. Wish we were going to be in the area longer, so many Italian dishes I would love to try. The house dressing is to die for wish we could have bought some.

Authentic homemade Italian food and service from the owner herself. It was delicious 😋 Great atmosphere and loving the old decor. Tells a story.

Walking in for the first time when you're the first customers of the day is a little strange due to the amount of decorations and silence. An elderly couple greets you and seats you. They're positively adorable and very welcoming. We got the rigatoni with meatballs and an order of lasagna with a meatball on the side. They both came with a side salad and garlic knots. We had the housemade salad dressing. Yum. The food will blow you away... It's so homemade looking and tasting and smelling. Everything was seriously delicious.

I have read the reviews. Still wanted to try. First impression was were they open. Then I went in the décor is something you have to see for yourself. The waitress was just like your grandma and the guy at the bar was your grandma. I started to fall in love right away. The grandma was the best waitress I have ever had. Then the food came out. My god was it unbelievable. Hands down the best I have had in a very long time. I beg you to look past first impression and give it a try. I went on a Saturday and wanted to go back Sunday.

I feel bad....I have lived in Buffalo for 64 years and went here for dinner last night for the 1st time...the server David was super nice and informative...the dishes were all very delicious....my wife and I loved the atmosphere... We are definitely going back...and we'll bring friends.... please "discover" this hidden gem 💎

Ah where do I start. Well it was my grandpas 80th birthday and he was so excited to try this place and well, it was a huge let down. The raviolis were supposed to come with meatballs, they didn’t. We got two lasagna dishes, they were completely different sizes. The rolls were beyond burnt. The hamburger was dry as a bone and the bun was burnt. We may have had a bigger order but we gave them a 24 hour notice. They said it would be ready at 5:30, we called and they changed it to 6.. okay that’s fine. We didn’t get the food till 6:40. Over an hour late and we didn’t get a discount or anything, just an extremely disappointing dinner. I hate writing bad reviews but this is necessary. If they couldn’t handle a larger order I would’ve rather them deny us instead of butchering most of the order. I didn’t get a picture of all the meals but here’s two.

I haven’t been here since I was a child living in riverside on East Street. I recently moved back downtown, and I searched for this place that I remember and thankfully it was still there!! I think the decor is amazing and they’ve definitely added more. The owner was very lovely on the phone and even better in person when i came to pick up my food. The garlic knots were everything I remember and more, and the gnocchi was top notch. If you’re in Buffalo looking for a good place to eat this is definitely your spot Also PSA I added my own parmesan

It's an intimate cozy restaurant .one of the biggest Italian menus in the area .food was absolutely amazing. Friendly and funny waiter Dave,Prices and portions are reasonable can't wait to return soon!! Don't wait for a special occasion..
