Mulberry Italian Ristorante

I am super picky about Italian food and my opinion rarely reflects what everyone else considers good. I don't usually go out for Italian in the area often because of this. I happened to come for my significant other's birthday and was pleasantly surprised.

We ordered a bottle of wine, Spanish octopus, lasagna, braised short rib agnolotti and a cannoli. The octopus was amazing. We order it often when we see it on a menu elsewhere and we were kind of surprised it was offered here. The flavor/ spices were perfect and I haven't seen a cook on octopus that well done in ages, anywhere. The short rib agnolotti was perfect. Delicious short rib flavor and mushrooms were blended for a delicious dish. There was almost like a gravy for sauce and I highly considered licking it off the plate. Now the lasagna, was a huge portion, which everyone here goes wild for, that is not my top criteria but to each their own. I was a little disappointed with it. It could have been cooked a little more to get the cheese bubbly and it wasn't seasoned well. The red sauce was just ok. For a dish that probably sells out every night I would think they would have this down pat. The cannoli was amazing. Super crispy shell and delicious filling.

The ambiance is what I'd call mom and pop chic in this local gem. They are known for home made pasta and serve a lot of American Italian traditional dishes along with some twists on the classics. Service was great and they are open Mondays which is a huge plus for this area.

Absolutely lovely!

Had an amazing meal last night. It was the groups first time there. We loved the ambiance of the place. An amazing charm!

Food was great. We had the Spanish Grilled Octopus as an appetizer and my main course was the Chicken Violanti. I got to try the Lasagna and the Eggplant Parmesan as well. Each dish was delightful.

The waiter was amazing too. Very quick witted and funny. He made the table laugh a lot and we were lucky to have him as our server!

I can't wait to go back!

Visited for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We made a reservation, didn't wait to be seated. It wasn't too crowded, but it was busy. We sat in a smaller side room with a large window, tables are spaced appropriately, so you're not bumping into each other and it doesn't feel packed.
Decent variety on the lunch menu, including salads, pasta. I did add a HUGE (baseball-sized) meatball, didn't know what I was getting myself into. We all enjoyed the food and cocktails.
The service was friendly, food was very good. It's quite dark inside, but not ominous.

The food was great I ordered the chicken Alfredo which was cooked perfectly and the creme brulee was great, service was good none of us had empty drinks! Everyone in my group said they would definitely go back!!

I felt really good to come back to this place. Food has always been amazing and it still is. I was excited to bring my husband here as it was his first time. We had early dinner reservations, and was seated right away. The restaurant was quite busy already and louder than I had anticipated. We opted for the sausage, stuffed banana peppers and grilled colossal shrimp as our appetizers. Got the award-winning lasagna, which was delicious and flavorful. The ricotta was so smooth it was like perfection. The last entrée that we had was the shrimp fra diavolo also very delicious. For dessert we had the Oreo peanut butter pie. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was it felt like they were trying to flip the table really fast. We were in and out of there in an hour. With that being said I'll def go back, maybe on a different day/time. I want to be able to enjoy everything and not feel rushed.

Thoroughly enjoyed the space and food here! Wine was fantastic - great selection. Tried the wings and they were delicious! The meatball was okay, I also had the scallops a more and it was the highlight of my week!

There is nothing better than the combination of good 'ol Italian food and warm, cozy atmosphere during the holidays at Mulberry! Sat and ate at the bar after starting off with a chocolate espresso martini. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive and did a great job keeping up with the drinks and food at the bar. Of course had to have the meatball and my old favorite the eggplant panino (I do miss this combination from the menu...). If you have never had a chance to eat at this hidden gem-go!

Funny location but amazing Italian food, the best I've tried in Buffalo so far. The appetizers were great, the entrees were all amazing too, I got the spicy linguini with clams. The service was pretty quick and the waitress was super nice. Would definitely go back.

Service was excellent and they were extremely busy at lunchtime on a Friday. Spaghetti Parm was good. Bread was delicious. The specials they had looked and sounded delicious and I would like to go back to try more of the menu. Recommend reservations!!

My friend and I made reservations at Mulberry just to spend some time together and enjoy a nice dinner. The restaurant was busy but our reservation was kept and we were promptly seated. My meal was amazing. I had one of the pastas that they make in house, it was a beef short rib stuffed pasta with a vinegar based sauce. We finished our meal with a slice of peanut butter pie to share. We both loved it and will be back.
