• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Booked 61 times today

Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

The DelMonico steak and sea bass were fantastic. The service from our server Luke and his assistant, Renata was fantastic. They were kind, attentive, helpful, but not too intrusive. I highly recommend them, the Delmonico, sea bass, au gratin potatoes and button mushrooms!!

Food and service is always wonderful at Patina 250, but this time was exceptional. Alerted to the fact that we were celebrating a birthday, they had a birthday card waiting at our favorite table. After that, it kept getting better. We’ll be back, again and again.
