Around the corner from Hertel on Niagara Street is Faso's Restaurant. They are the most misjudged restaurant in Buffalo . Why? 1) They have one of the largest menus around with the best Italian dishes ever, made from scratch. 2) They are reasonably priced. 3) The portions are wonderfully generous. They also serve beer and wine. For 27 years, Faso's has been pleasing every customer that has walked through their door. Open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, they are easy to get to just off the I 190 North or South. Try Faso's and you'll know why they say, "Food so good you'll think we stole your momma."

Wow. This place is a hidden gem. It certainly doesn't look like anything special when you see it from the street, especially considering the surrounding area, but the menu is absolutely amazing for the size of the place. Tons of Italian dishes, and other local specialties, such as a a Friday fish fry and roast beef.
The interior is kind of "funky" with some random stuff on the walls (signs, doll collections, etc). And it’s kind of small inside, but the prices are cheap, and the food is good comfort food. Their slogan is "Food so good, you'll think we stole your momma!", and I have to agree with them.

Great authentic homemade food.

What a little gem of a restaurant. Family owned and authentic homemade Italian food. Nice sized portions and very reasonably priced. This is the kind of restaurant that I love -- about as opposite to a chain restaurant as I can imagine. We went there because I had a coupon, but we most certainly will be back.

I've been twice to Faso's for special occasions from the office. As the new one in Buffalo and at work, everyone talked to me a lot about how good the food was and how the unique décor made it a fun place to go to at least once a year. In terms of food, Faso's lived up to my expectations...

[10/09] "Thursday afternoon [10/8/09], I met friends from my former school for dinner at Faso's. The chicken parmesan was excellent, and, unlike my previous visit a year ago, the sauce on the side of pasta was delicious."
[9/08] "I met a few friends for an early dinner at Faso's. My eggplant parmesan was good, but the accompanying pasta was inedible. The red sauce was awful, with a strange taste unlike any sauce I've had at Faso's previously, or anywhere else for that matter. However, my friends ate theirs and didn't comment on the taste."
[6/08] "Went to Faso's with friends for an early dinner on Tuesday afternoon. The Chicken Parmigiano was excellent and a real bargain."
