The food was delicious and we will definitely go back anytime we can get a reservation. As you do need to get a reservation the tables go quickly (there isn't much space/tables). They have three rooms one of which is the bar area with all the cool holiday decor on the ceiling and pictures of famous people who have come there. It was very neat to have a picture with all the hanging ceiling decor during the holidays!!! I would recommend going to try some amazing Italian dishes, you won't be disappointed.

The lasagna featured on the food network is a must try! My family and I drive 1.5-4hours for it for a reason! Lunch at the bar with Lisa, the best bartender, is always wonderful! Especially in winter and the holiday season! I love that they keep their extravagant Christmas decorations up until towards the end of January, so you can still go appreciate them without the crazy Christmas shopping rush. All of the dining areas and waitresses are great, but being at the bar with ninja Lisa is my favorite. She's so friendly and FAST. I'm usually in a real rush for lunch, and she doesn't dilly daddle. I'm in, ordered, drank, fed, billed, and out quick! I love it! I highly recommend the famous lasagna, to die for stuffed mushrooms, mozzarella sticks, meatballs, arancini, and of course the complimentary bread and oil!

Every visit to the Mulberry is top notch and leaves you already wanting to plan your next visit. I cannot say enough about how it's the best Italian out there, but wait, they also have the best chicken wings in Buffalo. We love going around the holidays while the main room is decorated to the nines. Service is always fast and so good! No alcohol for us on this visit, but plenty of food. Cheesy garlic ciabatta bread, (which is perfectly smothered in gooey meaty cheese), wedge salad (the thick chopped freshly cooked bacon makes this!), Tre White spicy bbq wings. (Legit the best!) Our entrees were the Milano chicken parm (perfect amount of spice!) (#GoBills) and a tagliatelle Alfredo dish. So much food. So good. We rolled out of there and took home a piece of peanut butter pie!

Mulberry is my number one ranked Italian place in WNY! My wife and I came here to celebrate her birthday and we dined like royalty!! We shared the meatball that is amazing - all time classic and must have! I had the famous lasagna that never disappoints and my wife had the chicken Parmesan that was amazing!! We always love coming here during Christmas to see the beautiful decorations and all the hard work they put in to hanging their ornaments! The service is always top notch too! We will be back and love Mulbery!

3 of us had lunch Christmas eve. The atmosphere & Holiday decor was great. The food was so delicious. *Lasana, eggplant parm, scallops & tiramisu* The service was great. Definitely want to go back easy to park even on a holiday. ( Must say the eggplant was a large serving and so flipping good..Best Ive had in a very long time)

We are traveling by RV as we recently retired. My wife decided to visited Buffalo for the summer to see family and reconnect with long lost friends. She was born and raised here but left decades ago. I was traveling to FL to scope out our next winter campground. So while she's visiting and telling me stories she keeps mentioning Mulberry's. She went this week, she went again with this relative etc. Being a retired restaurateur I love to hear about the biz. She convinced me to come visit (not my first) Because she had a surprise. Missing her I'm appy to oblige I arrived in Buffalo and off to Mulberry's we go. Well almost not. We call and found them completely booked. Wait, what it's like a freezing cold Monday at 3:30. Nope their booked. Since we're running errands we ask if they'll call us with any cancellation since we're in the area. About 15 minutes later we get a call saying if we can be there in about 10 minutes they have a cancellation. So zoom we go. Ok so here's what you probably already read. This place is a local icon. Packed at 4pm, everything humming along. Happy customers laughing and smiling. Plates of steaming hot food all around. Servers and bussing staff weaving in and out in an impressive dining room ballet. Our server had served before, if you know what I mean. She deftly ascertained it was my first visit and guided me through the menu and options like she knew me. EVERYTHING was great! No I won't regal you with any prose. The food is awesome . The service as well. What a great night. And the surprise my wife wanted to spring on me? She found a cottage in Derby she wanted us to buy for our summer home. Holy smoke! We were going to RV for a couple of more years. Well, I am now a new Derby, New Yorker. I didn't see that coming. Go Bills!

I always thought this was a fancy Italian restaurant, and it's not really. Just a local family restaurant in what looks like an old house. Service was just fine. I feel like there was only one server for the whole back room, so when we were looking over the menu, she didn't come back to take our orders for a while. The menu online vs in restaurant is slightly different. Some new options that are soon to be featured on Food Network. I wish I took a photo of them menu for accuracy but didn't think about it, sorry! Complementary bread 7/10 I was surprised because it was cold and not warm. But it was fresh and soft inside with a good crust. They also give you an entire bottle of oil, so you can pour however much you want. Buffalo Mozzarella Caprese 8/10 It was good and refreshing. I feel like there was more mozzarella than tomato, so you didn't get equal flavors in every bite. I did add a sprinkle of salt to it as well. I would have also liked a little balsamic drizzle too. Mulberry Meatball 3/10 The meatball was HUGE! Flavor was not bad. Very sausagey. It was good but not my type of meatball. It mostly went to waste. Baked Jumbo Stuffed shells 8/10 Very impressed with the handmade pasta. There was a bite or two that wasn't covered in sauce so when it was baked, the pasta got a little dry and hard, so it wasn't the best bite. The ricotta mixture in the middle was very good, and the cheese was super soft. It wasn't super melty or runny, it kinda stayed together. I do wish there was more cheese inside though. There were a few bites that the noodle was folded over onto itself and had no cheese at all. The sauce was more robust than sweet, it was very smooth and was a good flavor. Wagyu Short rib and Bitto cheese risotto 10/10 (New item & soon to be featured on the food network) Short rib was cooked perfectly. It was sliced very thin, you could see the marbling. It was so soft and tender and it really just melted in your mouth. The risotto was very good. The cheese had a very sharp flavor to it. It tastes familiar, like a cheese I've had before. Peanut butter pie 9/10 The pie filling was so soft and fluffy. The peanut butter flavor was perfect. This was probably my favorite peanut butter pie I've ever had from a restaurant. The crushed peanuts on top added a bit of texture to the bite, I could have done with or without them.

My experience tonight was amazing. It definitely beat my first visit. They have completely updated the menu. A lot of new meals on the menu as well as some of the Mulberry classics - like the meatball and the home made lasagna! The food was fantastic- portion sizes were great, the food itself was delicious, and our waitress was super nice. I got the chicken parm Milano and my husband got the wagyu short rib gnocchi which was on special. We started with the wings - and they were award winning for a reason. YUM.

Absolutely lovely! Had an amazing meal last night. It was the groups first time there. We loved the ambiance of the place. An amazing charm! Food was great. We had the Spanish Grilled Octopus as an appetizer and my main course was the Chicken Violanti. I got to try the Lasagna and the Eggplant Parmesan as well. Each dish was delightful. The waiter was amazing too. Very quick witted and funny. He made the table laugh a lot and we were lucky to have him as our server! I can't wait to go back!

Make the reservation and plan to go hungry so you can order multiple appetizers and have a glass of wine and the bread and an entree because it was all so good. The service is great and our group of 8 was hungry. We ordered a meatball, arancini, sausage and peppers, stuffed mushrooms, fried mozzarella -every single dish was good, our favorites were the mozzarella, mushrooms and a tie between the sausage and peppers and meatball. We enjoyed a bottle of wine - Amarone, because our friends know their wine and it was great. Our main entrees: The Gravy - 2nd place Lasagna - a favorite Chicken Parm - traditional and trustworthy Eggplant Parm - traditional and trustworthy Linguine and clams - Creamy and good They make their mozzarella in house and they share it generously. Everyone shared a bite because the portions are large enough to share even if you don't want to. Everything was hot, fresh, delicious nothing was over garlicky or salty- we left impressed and too full for dessert and with some to go boxes. They have decorated for Christmas and the restaurant is cozy but it doesn't make it feel cramped and they sit multiple large groups so you can go for a romantic dinner or a family outing. Mangia!
