Tappo - Buffalo

The food at this restaurant was excellent! Both the stuffed peppers and spaghetti and meatballs were recommended by other guests and the bartender. We also added Italian bread with herb-seasoned olive oil, which had great flavor and generous portions. The prices were reasonable, and the wine selection was $18 per bottle with the option to take home any leftovers in a sealed bag. The coffee was also enjoyable. We arrived on a Monday night around 6 pm on our way from Canada to points further south. There weren't many guests at first, but by the time we left at 7:30, the restaurant was 3/4 full, which was impressive for the beginning of the week. The bartender, Ken, was friendly, attentive, and provided timely service. The ambiance was friendly and comfortable, with soft lighting and a quiet atmosphere perfect for conversation. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return to this restaurant.

Tappo is a great option for an after-work happy hour, perfect for those who are new to wine and want to explore different options. It can also be a great spot for a date night that won't break the bank. The Calebrese flatbread is a must-try and the best food on the menu. However, the bar service can be hit or miss, especially when the bar is busy. The meatballs are often overworked or over-seasoned. Despite these issues, Tappo is a reliable choice for a post-work meal downtown.

It has been a while since my last visit, but this restaurant is just as I remembered. The atmosphere was lively on a Tuesday night, with many groups of girls enjoying a night out. For appetizers, we tried the stuffed peppers, meatballs, and Brussel sprouts. The peppers were beautifully presented with a fried egg on top and served on garlic toast. They had a nice crunch, good flavor, and just the right amount of spice. The meatballs were tasty and a generous portion for sharing. However, the standout dish was the crispy and flavorful Brussel sprouts. For my main course, I had the eggplant parmigiana. The eggplant was cooked perfectly with a crispy texture, and I loved the addition of ricotta between the layers of mozzarella and eggplant. Overall, I really enjoy this restaurant for its delicious food at reasonable prices. It's a great spot for a girls' night out as well.

The food was decent I really liked the cocktails. I forgot the name of what I ordered but it was a pasta dish with sausage and tomatoes in it. I ordered it without the sausage and asked for rigatoni noodles. It was okay. I wish their menu had more options tho.

Tappo's rooftop is absolutely unbeatable. If you want a nice, Italian dinner with a great view, this is the place. I had the chicken piccata tonight and although it wasn't traditional chicken piccata, it was delicious. I would warn you that it's pretty different though. Hard to describe but it was still really good and had capers! $10 bottle of Wednesdays are also hard to beat!! I had the Chardonnay and thought it was going to be not so great (understatement) but it was actually pretty good.
