• Delicious authentic food, dessert was awesome, wish I were in Italy, then it would be perfect.
• Location, I suggest more of them.

“Hard to believe this type of restaurant could be located on Kensington Ave. near Harlem Rd. Not what you would expect. At first glance just another restaurant pitched in a mostly residential neighborhood, probably gets overlooked, not much to notice, tucked in near a McDonalds and a supermarket. But what a delicious, cheerful authentic Italian dining experience. I have eaten in many restaurants, many that claim to be Italian, you know the type, big name, big commercials and big lines to get in, and in a big hurry to get you out. This hotel is not like that at all because it truly provides warm, cozy, friendly service and hospitality. The kind of hospitality that makes you wish you were in Italy and at the least makes it seem like you could be in Italy. (If you close your eyes, smell and taste the authentic fresh homemade food, hear the soft Italian music in the background, taste the Italian wine). It's nice to have such a place in our home town. Excellent restaurant, excellent food. Highly recommended.”

• Great food, close to hotels, airport and downtown Buffalo. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable of the area.
• None that comes to mind.

“Bing's has some of the best Italian food I've come across in a long time. It is not far from the airport and downtown Buffalo. They have 2 dining rooms divided by a door which I was informed was installed as a solution to the smoking laws. A very nice fireplace warms the bar area and also accommodates diners. In full view is a lovely espresso machine which has it's own unique history as I was informed. There is a large Patio which is used during the finer weather with live music on the weekends sometimes. The menu is classic and contemporary Italian. There are a lot of healthy options also on the menu for diners looking to watch their carbs. We were greeted in a friendly manner. We didn't. No problem because it was early and were seated promptly. We started out with an order of the Artichoke Gratin, Spinach bread and Pasta Fagioli. Our server mentioned they had won several awards in local festivals as have the desserts (made in house). The appetizers arrived about 8 minutes later. We had already received our drinks. Italian music plays in the background also. This is obviously a family owned and operated business. The owners son waited on us! Lots of pasta, veal and seafood. Most items have carb counts and weight watcher points too. Entrees come with a salad though we opted to split the Panzanella salad. I was surprised to find such authenticity. After our salads we were given a lemon sorbet. A short wait and our entrees arrived. I had the Sicilian Steak which is served with spaghetti squash. It was flavorful and spicy. A perfect medium rare sliced and fanned. My partner had the Chicken del Giorno with almonds, mushrooms and a sweet orange flavored brown sauce served over pasta. Good sized portions so we took some with us and made sure we had room for the dessert. The carrot cake and chocolate go diva were delicious. There is also a carb free cheese cake available, gelato and cassata cake. Pretty extensive specials list delivered well spoken. I would recommend Bing's to anyone traveling through Western New York. Open since 1989 you'll definitely be satisfied and have something to tell folks once you get back home. ”
