Occasions By Osteria - Buffalo

Visiting my daughter at UB for family weekend, she wanted ‘good’ Italian food. This place certainly did not disappoint! The decor and feel was welcoming. Big portions (which means leftovers for college students) and great service. We’ll definitely be back!

The restaurant is tucked away in a corner of a huge bldg in the middle of downtown. Once you enter you are greeted warmly by the staff. The bar is nice with a friendly bartender who supplied us with our preferred drinks. The staff was friendly and efficient and the food was wonderful! The brussel sprouts and meatballs were delicious. The oysters were clean and fresh. The Chilean Sea Bass was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious! Definitely a must do when in downtown Buffalo!

We were seated in a two person table in the middle of the dining room and it was quite loud. But the food and service were excellent and overall it was a very good dining experience. Probably would have got 5 stars had we lucked out a bit and had a table with a bit more privacy. Would go again which is always a good sign!

The food is amazing, service was incredible and the atmosphere was great!! one of the best Buffalo has to offer!!!!

We had reservations but ended up getting two seats at the bar and we had a wonderful time. The bartenders were so welcoming and the other customers were having such a great time that we decided to stay there. The food, drinks, music and company was excellent. We'll be back!
