Buffo Ristorante - Calgary, Alberta

We really enjoyed our lunch at Buffo. It is great that all the pasta is made in-house. We also really enjoyed our pizzas. We need a break from the mall and Buffo is a great place to enjoy great Italian food. We were served by Rohan who provided excellent service ... and suggestions from the menu. There is both an entrance from inside Saks Fifth Avenue as well as from outside the mall. Read more

This place is located just next to Saks. It’s very aesthetically pleasing and they have an excellent selection of cocktails and wines. I came in for a quick bite to eat and glass of vino. I was pleasantly surprised the pasta was on special today for the quality. It was ... absolutely delicious. I’m gluten free and the GF pasta, alongside all the pastas are made from scratch daily. Russell made my experience one to remember. He recommended a wine pairing event that I ended up purchasing tickets for in June. He was very kind, polite and knowledgeable. I will be back soon most definitely. Cheers! Read more

We were able to try this Michael Bonacini restaurant on our latest date night. We started off with Buffo Bread which is warm rosemary sea salt bread served with oils. It was delicious and we could have eaten soooo much more! I was debating between a couple dishes and the waiter ... suggested the Seafood Puttanesca which is spaghetti with calamari, shrimp, mussels, tomato, garlic and anchovies. I'm not typically a spaghetti fan but they make all the pasta fresh each morning and found it really delicious with a flavorful sauce. My wife had the Ricotta Gnocchi with baby arugula, cream, parsley and thyme. She added the pork and veal meatballs and really enjoyed it. The fresh gnocchi was so much better than what we've had elsewhere. For dessert we shared the Tiramisu and were pleased how good it was as we often are disappointed with it at other restaurants. The texture was perfectly creamy with a nice espresso flavor. Our service was amazing, one of the better ones we've had in forever. I don't remember his name but it was the gentleman with longer hair. He was very prompt, kind and easy to talk with. Read more

We ordered the olives (so good, they had hot peppers and citrus juice with a small bowl of potato chips on the side) and garlic nuts (fresh made bread) from happy hour menu. Also shared a Caesar salad and we each got a pasta; the fettuccini and the penne on ... rose sauce. The best part of our experience was the amazing service we got from Venize. We want to come back to try the pizza, which we hear was good. Read more
