We visited Santora's while staying at a hotel down the street. The restaurant has a large bar and lots of TVs. We sat in the dining area in a booth. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Our pizza was very hot and good. The Caesar salad was fresh, crisp and good. We enjoyed our visit and would return.

We had dinner with another couple at this restaurant. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Friday night and it was very busy. Wait staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The salad side dish was an extremely generous portion. I enjoyed a thin crust four cheese pizza and I would say it was the size of a medium pizza so I brought home 1/2. There were numerous dessert choices and again the individual desserts were quite large pieces. Enjoyable evening out.

Traditional Italian favorites served in a down-to-earth dining room or outdoor patio.
Reviewed By Sabresfan01
Amici is your standard Italian restaurant and serves all the classic Italian favorites like Chicken Parm, Braciole, Saltimbocca, etc. It's a fairly large place with tons of seating, parking in back and a large patio. It's decor is nice, but not overly fancy. Dress code seems to be nice casual. The service is excellent and very accommodating; our server was very patient with our group of six and was efficient without being overly intrusive. The appetizers were the real star here; the stuffed banana peppers were the best I've had, the clams casino were flavorful, and the arancini was also delicious. All of this comes with unlimited hot, fresh bread. The entrees were very good; I had chicken saltimbocca, which was cheesy, tender, and delicious. The linguini with clams and the braciole were big hits as well. Unfortunately we didn't save room for dessert, but overall this was an enjoyable experience for a decent price.

Casual Italian Restaurant. Banquet & Catering Facility.
Reviewed By Ron_Sipos
We recently had the opportunity for yet another visit to Pane's Restaurant in North Tonawanda, interestingly located on Payne Avenue. Wonderful place to enjoy a good meal. Every time there has been a pleasure. A wide variety of fare and selections are available, from pizza, to comfort and casual, to fine dining. Ample portions at reasonable prices add to the experience. The atmosphere and service are outstanding; staff is professional and friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Unlike many places, quieter seating areas are available to allow for easy, pleasant conversation. Well done! We are already looking forward to our next visit!

We order from La Hacienda Brighton on a regular basis, usually wings/fingers or pizza/subs. Tonight we ordered something different. I ordered their Shrimp Dinner and my husband ordered the Soup of the Day. We were told it would take 40 minutes for delivery but it only took 20 minutes. Great service and the food was delicious! I highly recommend them!Thank you so much for the kind words. We look forward to servicing you again in the near future.

Went here for dinner with family. We were sat right away. I ordered a house salad to start with balsamic dressing which was decent. Variety of greens and the common veggie variety for a house salad, all fresh.I ordered the shrimp scampi for my entree. It was decent. Good sized shrimp on the top but way too much liquid on the bottom of the bowl. The linguine was definitely not drained enough with that much liquid on the bottom of the bowl.Our waiter was pleasant and courteous. What really upset me was one of their waiters or busboys was vaping in the restaurant in Plain view and on top of that he blew his smoke towards open top water pitchers. The same water pitchers they were using to serve us and other tables. Utterly disgusting and made me promise to never come back to this place again. I didn't think vaping in a restaurant was allowed (not sure on the law) but to visibly blow the smoke at the tops of the open water pitchers is disgusting and unsanitary. I'll never come back to this place.We will look into this. Vaping is not allowed by customers or employees. We do not use pitchers to fill anything what were you referring too. Everyone water is filled at the bar. Please email us some more information. [email protected]

First time there. I have several food restrictions. Got there early to ask questions from Host. Approved instead of soup or salad, a second side dish. Ordered the Veal Marsala. The meat was extremely tender. A decent portion size. Nice surprise at the end when our server said could order for takeout, the exact meal for $ 10 ! The first was $ 23. Included an entire loaf of the Italian bread. We are going there again next month - itâs quite a distance from where we all live. Hope the surprise is still available.

A great restaurant with friendly and efficient staff offering wonderfully delicious Italian food. There were four of us and we shared meatballs and sauce, lasagna and a large pizza (with mushrooms, cheese and sausage) and all was very delicious. I would recomend this place to friends and family and look to return again soon.
