We had my mothers funeral breakfast here today. It was beautiful, the room, the linens & centerpieces, the staff!! I couldnt praise them more! We were over our count & they accommodated us quickly & efficiently with extra tables & chairs. The Chef out did himself with making extra food for the extra people that came. The food was excellent, Highly recommend!

Always always amazing delicious delicious food great place to book an occasion great atmospheres for rooms to choose from Bon Appetit

I was there for a funeral luncheon. The room was beautiful, large and comfortable. Food was delicious! Very nice place.

Amazing venue, always clean. Not many places like that in the area. Always a great time whenever we’re at an event here.

Our group had a great time as we always do,great music Hit & Run best band and food is very good.

I have been here for receptions, banquets and showers. The people are always efficient. The food is always good. Highly recommend!

Hello.Stay away from this place!!!!!!This used to be a great place, but it has gone down hill since I do not know where these 3, 4 and 5 star ratings are coming from. So here is the total truth. I have been to this place on 3 separate occasions with in the past couple of years. The most recent was this weekend. 6/20/2021. Every time the food was way less than desirable. No one could chew the roast beef, the beef was solid tendon. The pork chops well forget those! I think that they may have been left over from a previous party.The baked ziti and baked potatoes were gross also. I would be embarrassed to serve any of this food to my dogs. The bartender Ricco his drinks are a joke. 6 dollars for mixed drinks that stunk. He didnt any have ginger ale so he mixed coke and sprite to try and make ginger ale, after I asked for another mixer. He just went on and did his own thing anyway. I almost forgot about the hair in my ice cream. Bottom line, save your money and go else where. You will be happier with the food at Burger King. This is the total truth.

I have been going to banchettis groovin in the grove for years with several groups of friends. Bands are great!!! However, changes due to covid have been nightmare. Reservations screwed up consistently and lines to pay cover charge long. People coming in back entrance no reservation no cover sitting wherever they want. Things are open 100%. No reason for the messed up reservation seating process. Many of my friends have stopped going.They need to return to old way of sitting!!!!!!!

We had my daughter’s bridal shower at Rizotto and I can’t say enough about Mike Rizzo, Rick, Michael and the chefs. They did everything we asked to prepare the facility post-Covid. (I am very picky!). The banquet room was beautiful, the food spectacular and the service, excellent. I would not hesitate to book another event at Rizotto again.

Quite nice banquet facility. The food was fine (especially the manaccoti, but the serving staff was exceptional. All in Ll a good ecperience.

My cousin ordered and picked up take out Thanksgiving dinner for 6 (we were 4). Kudos to Mike Rizzos chef! The whole dinner was fabulous: the turkey was sliced perfectly, not too thick or too thin and moist and tasty. Mashed potatoes were smooth and sweet potatoes were perfect - not too sweet with brown sugar, a hint of coconut and crushed nuts sprinkled on them. Broccoli casserole was tender and tasty; stuffing was fine, not under or over seasoned, gravy was plentiful and lightly flavored. Salad was generously provided as well as pumpkin and apple pie for each person. It was so nice to have no preparation and minimal clean up and just enjoy eachothers company. I highly recommend Rizzos Banchetti turkey dinner. Delicious!

Was there for a private party. Staff and food was fantastic 👏

Great service and brought out more food when we needed it

We decided to have Easter Brunch at Banchettis yesterday. There were 8 adults and 2 children. What a huge disappointment. The eggs benedict tasted like they were made a week prior. The eggs were hard, cold and you couldnt cut the muffin with a knife. The waffles and pancakes were so hard they were uneatable. Coffee served at the table was lukewarm. Only one person trying to serve the shrimp scampi area. We had to keep requesting that the dessert table be restocked. I dont know what kind of dressing was served on the Caesar salad but I couldnt eat it. On a positive note the spareribs were very good as well as the roast beef and potatoes. For the price they charged, we would have expected more. Sorry but we wont be returning for any other functions.

One of the best Lightly Breaded Fish Dinners I have ever had. Check out the after dinner treats : Buffalo Bills cookies, chocolate covered popcorn, sponge candy and more. Absolutely delicious. Open now for dine in too. Check it out.

Good banquet food. No problems.

Nice banquet facility with standard banquet food. Efficiency was good

Yatchfathers band supposed to start at 6:30, 7:21 and still waiting, very disorganized, not coming back

They have great customer service, and the food was delicious! We had a luncheon buffet for about 30 people after my dads funeral on 5/20/17. Tthe room was very nice for a small gathering. Thank you RizzosOn 11/26/2020, We ordered our takeout Thanksgiving Dinner for 2. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful. Thank you Rizzo’s for being open on this holiday and taking care of your customers during this pandemic.

A nice, affordable banquet/event facility

Amazing food. The staff was so nice.

Food was cold and service was just ok. Very disappointing for an Easter brunch

Groovin in the Grove was a much needed experience. Would have liked patio heaters placed in the covered area those chilly late summer nights

We booked this venue for our wedding. The event manager and assistant manager were very friendly and helpful. Any time I had a question they would reply back pretty quickly. Although, if you call the facility, a woman answers the phone, who is very friendly, but she gave me the wrong information a few times and caused some confusion.The day of I was afraid to let the staff decorate for me but they did an amazing job. They placed everything perfectly and I couldnt have done it better myself. Thank you so much for that, it was such a nice relief. Really the only complaint that I had was that the serving manager was a little cranky during the wedding. The bartenders were absolutely amazing. Rico always came and found me to fill up my drink, he was by far the best bartender Ive ever come across! Thank you Rico! Really all of the staff was very efficient and even had the decorations packed away nicely for me the next day.The food was awesome and exceeded my expectations. The prices were affordable and included a lot of food.I would highly recommend this venue for any event.

Food is great.

We did some photography there for a wedding the other night the place was spotless clean everybody was wearing their masks and social distancing and the food was delicious one of my favorite restaurants

We had our wedding booked in the grove, initially for July 17th, but because of covid that couldnt happen. We rescheduled for next July but after much debate decided to do a backyard ceremony instead 2 weeks ago. We had contacted Banchettis many times and after many games of phone tag finally went over to talk about getting at least part of our deposit back. The contract we have is for 150 people minimum, which obviously isnt safe or allowed, Banchettis has spend $0 on us, have spent 0 time on our wedding, and have plenty of time to rebook the date. Due to the pandemic we were hoping for at least part of our deposit back but they have refused. They gave us a gift card for part of the deposit to use there and flat out kept the rest, but as an RN I dont feel it is safe to repeatedly visit the restaurant and risk exposing their staff and other guests. Many companies have been understanding and given refunds but beware before booking anything here, they are absolutely not willing to give anything back or even discuss it. Dont risk your wedding or event here!!!

Took my wife to an interactive show here. The show and the food were absolutely fantastic. Cant wait to go back.

Good times had by all

Food good service excellent

I attended my third function at Banchettis. For the third time I left feeling less than impressed. The facility is very nice and well laid out. However, the service (or lack of it) the quality of the overpriced food and a 18% administrative fee (not a gratuity as they make it very clear that it will not be used for that purpose) just to be able to spend our money at their establishment is enough for me NEVER to book a function of my own there. During the last visit, the bartender would literally walk away for extended period of time. This happened multiple times. We go looking for them and find them working in a different room for a different party. Wait staff was only in the room while serving food and were non-existent otherwise. The food was cold and dried out and not very appealing. My suggestion is to shop around. Buffalo has so many fine eating and meeting establishments and finding a good one should not be difficult.

Attended a wedding last night. The food was warm and came out in a coordinated way. However, it lacked flavor. The music, decor, and staff assistance was ell enjoyable. I would recommend having an event there, but be cautious with the food preparation folks.

Went there for a work holiday party. The food was all very nice and the banquet rooms are large and beautiful. I would recommend having large events here to anyone

On a perfect summer evening at the grove watching the Nerds gone wild.

I enjoyed my visit. So happy with kind worker!

Been here year in an year out. For dinner, partys and holiday Buffett. I have NOT been disappointed yet. Very flavorful and consistent food.

We went there for a funeral lunch & their food was delicious. I saw a bridal shower party down the hall too. Any kind of party or dinner is great at Banchettis!

The outdoor venue is amazing. The staff is super friendly, accommodating and professional. The food is fresh and abundant. You cant go wrong with an outdoor wedding here. The price is also quite reasonable. They even have a play ground, very tastefully done, for the children.

Banquet food was good as usual. Steamed veggies could have used more seasoningLast time delicious.clean Staff was very good and helpful 😊

Real nice area in back for weddings or gathering, clean grounds, Nice employees

Excellent service tonight finally out to enjoy flipsideThey did an excellent job

I went there for the first time with friends on Thursday evening. It was pretty busy and kept filling in all evening. They had beer and wine and really good sandwiches. The atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable. The music was only 2 people but they sounded like many more and were very good. I recommend this as a good place to enjoy a summer evening.

Really nice! I went for my cousins 16th birthday party recently, and it was really nice! Food tastes good, but the service was ok. I suggest it, it was really nice in my opinion!

Amazing Grove out back for family and events. Food was good. Service was awesome. We had a great day.

Great options. Food was really good. Only downfall our reservation was at 12:30 which is at the end of the brunch and some items were not warm.

Great food, great staff! Beautiful place! Had a work lunch here and everything was amazing!

A great place to celebrate with family and friends. Very beautiful and elegant

Went for Sunday brunch with family and was ever dissatisfied It’s nice place but the omelette maker attitude was the worse. And when he put new boneless nuggets out for people to eat, he put the cover on the floor while he put new nuggets out and then put the top back on the nuggets. UNSANITARY!! Ant none of the food at labels but it did let people know that there was seafood table. ONLY label seen. Out waitress was very nice. But overall I wouldn’t go back or refer anyone. I did let the manager know what happened with the nuggets and the attitude and he said “that the cook has been doing this long and maybe too long.” But NEVER took replaced the nuggets. WOW!! 1st and last time there. Hope this helps.

Banchetti was very nice. Food was great. Had a great afternoon there with Niagara Regional Fcu.it was our annual picnic had a great time.

I went to the last dance of the season. Very crowded. I had to park across the street. It was fun. Food prices were outrageous. I got a canoli and paid $4.50 for it and it was soggy. I sure wont be buying any food there unless I know the price.

Great place for banquets. Had a nice Italian themed buffet with fun desserts and cookies. Convenient cash bar near the Halls so you can separate the drink purchases. Great idea for business related parties in todays climate.

St Josephs feast was delicious many people and more than enough food. Service was remarkable for the crowd they had professional and courteous. A good time was had by all.

Really attentive and friendly service. With good food his a solid location for a banquet.

We attended this years (2019) new years eve party. What a bust. The facility was way overbooked, the staff could not keep up with the buffet. By the time our table was called there were only scraps left and the food was definately not worth what we paid for. You were supposed to be able to eat at any of the food stations but by the time we got through the line, the food was being taken down. Music didnt start untill 10PM. It was just an over all let down especially for the price we paid.

Friendly staff, clean facility. Food so-so this past visit... roasted potatoes were not even cooked and hard. Chicken was dry, which is odd for Banchettis. All in all would still return and recommend!👍

Sadly weve been there a few times for family functions. Ive never enjoyed it. Food was blah. We had brunch the latest time. The eggs were running. The omelets looked burnt even though they were made to order. The person manning the hit station was unpleasant and rude. They ran out of waffles and when asked about it it was a curt, short response, not apoplectic, almost accusing of us about asking about it. I could have played hockey with the pancakes, they syrup had been out so long it tasted like burnt sugar. A member of our party tried a scene and she almost lost a tooth biting into it. Nothing really redeeming about the place sorry to day as members of my family really like the place.

We went for Sunday buffet. We had reservations aand we were seated but it was over crowded. Lots of trays were nearly empty so we had to wait about 20 min for them to refill them.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here, outside at The Grove, and Banchettis was a pleasure to work with. Every step of the way in the planning process Tammy and Andy (banquet managers) were quick to answer my questions, they were patient, they were accommodating to our many non-traditional requests, and they are definitely good at what they do. We got so many compliments on the food and the venue. Compared to a lot of other places we looked at, the prices were pretty good also. I would definitely recommend this place for weddings and other events!

Great place to hold a gathering of old timers and I guess new timers but it is very nice for a gathering, food is good!

Very disappointed with the quality of Easter Brunch at Banchettis, especially for the $30 per person price. Was seated in the middle (small) banquet area. Most all the food was cold! the breakfast spread was located along the front window area. Waitress said it may be drafty there resulting in the cold servings. Excuse if you ask me... Had the carved roast beef, which was located at the entrance of the room. Cold as well. Food in center area was luke-warm . Dessert, Salad bar was good. Been there for banquets and was okay. Waitress said shed send the manager over. Never came. The 4 of us struggled paying this bill... Was not worth it! Never again

Great place, service and food were awesome. Great venue

Nice banquet hall for a wedding reception or other special occasion.

Awesome,...

I was here for an early morning baby shower. The room was lovely the waitresses were very nice and the breakfast was delish!

Group Brunch, wonderful food. Courteous Service.

Food is great and so is the staff. Attended an outdoor picnic. The staff provided great service. The only complaint it the bathrooms should have been better attended

Had my daughters Sweet 16 at Banchettis in the Rose Foyer, beautiful room, tons of natural lighting and room for all the guest to move around. We didnt want a cake so their bakery made macaroons for us the same color as our theme and so delicious. Would definitely have another event there, maybe her graduation party.

The Buffets are very good. They have a nice variety. Ive been here several times. All the staff seem to be over worked, no one smiles or says thank you and your welcome. If the food and prices werent good I probably wouldnt go back.

Was there for the Groovinin the Grove.. Good food, reasonably priced.. Awesome venue!

I will say food ok. But to have 3pm reservation and to be seated at 4 was not acceptable. Stood inline for an hour and a quarter holding my five year old to hear the greater tell everyone it be just afew minutes of a wait. They had no more ham by the time we got to eat. And the deserts were picked over by the time we are dinner. Like I said some of food was good most was on the cold side. Its a same we had high hopes for a fancy Banhettis thanks giving dinner. Back to there competition next year

Food was not good

Nice banquet room. The bartender was fun to chat with.

Very ritzy place, food good, service is much much better

We had our daughters wedding reception at Banchettis and could not have been more happy. The entire staff, from the management to the servers made the evening what it should be, a wonderful, memorable day

We visited for a family reunion. Basic banquet food, there were several events in different areas but everything ran efficiently.

We rented out a banquet room for a memorial lunch buffet. The wait staff was attentive and removed dirty dishes from the tables promptly. The cold cut sandwiches and rolls were very good. The baked ziti and meatballs were also delicious. My only complaint is the chocolate cake squares for dessert. Hardly anyone ate them because they were stale and hard. Ive been coming here my whole life and on average do a good job.

Inside looks nice, food was great. Staff was very helpful. Was a round Christmas times so place look cheerful.

Great local banquet hall. Easy to find, great food and great service. Impressive they also have an outdoor-tented area for larger parties

Amazing food all the time. They have an amazing brunch that offers all you can eat, as well as an all you can drink champagne menu. Totally worth it to take a date here, or being your mom for mothers day. They have large banquet rooms for special events as well.

Turkey Day brunch was amazing, never had a bad meal here.

Good spot with a nice Italian menu. The pizza is excellent as well as the sandwiches and entrees. Its very quiet and cozy. Nice for a romantic meal.

Good place with lots of space. They were very accommodating with adequate service. The food was nothing spectacular, but was good enough and with plenty of quantity.

This was our first time there. Went for a retirement party. Wonderful atmosphere and super food.

Good buffet setup for private party. Food was good but the staff and atmosphere was very calm and quiet. Nice peaceful cafe if thats what your looking for.

Great food. Interior well kept and updated.

The food was excellent the service was great & it had a beautiful atmosphere.

My family went here recently for Sunday brunch for a family birthday. The location was easy to find and plenty of convienent parking. Inside, the facility was large, well organized, easy to manuver, clean, and tastefully appointed. Food was fresh, plentiful, and well made. Staff was quick, polite, and professional. We enjoyed the brunch and will likely return again.

Loved Groovin in the Grove on Wednesdays. Good food and Great entertainment

Had reception there...loved food..great staff

Been there many a time and they did not surprise me as the food was awful yet again.I was there for a wedding and all the tables around us were served and we waited a GOOD 10 minutes for ours.All the other tables were done eating and we had just begun to eat ours.

Great food and my wedding reception was there, so it must be good

Very nice Easter brunch!! Good food and customer service!! Never a complaint...

Party of Nine band played outside patio bar. party was a ball. Beautiful venue great outside BBQ Grill plenty of room to spread out free parking five stars

What was suppose to be my special day, my wedding, was completely ruined. NOTHING went right. And the owner is a Crook. Dont waste your money here.

I was there for a funeral brunch. The food was average, the service was less than average. There was orange juice, water and coffee on most tables but only one glass and a coffee cup. No one ever refilled any of the beverages. We did not have orange juice until another table gave us theirs. It was the first time I was there and Im not sure I would go back.

I go for breakfast brunch, 1st time was great but my 2nd visit I was a lil disappointed. The selection, quality and temp of food was not as good as the 1st time. I will hesitate to go back.

Had Our Company Picnic there. Everything Outside was Beautiful. Had a Great Time

We went for the Sunday buffet brunch. Everything was so good!! Lots of things to pick from! Recommend reservations.

Food is every bit as good as the original restaurant on Eggert Road. Prices slightly higher but not a deal breaker. Miss the neighborhood ambience of the old place.

Lots of space, rooms are big! Great pla e to book for a decent sized event. Can either add food to your event or go to the cafe inside!
