When you think over-the-top decor in Buffalo, one name likely comes to mind: Salvatore. Maybe it's because the Salvatore family does so much for our community, or maybe because your kids flip out each year when they get their photos taken with Santa himself, you simply have to love this place - even if the aesthetics are a bit on the quirky side! While you might come to check out the interior attractions, be sure to stick around for a meal at the restaurant for delicious food and - you guessed it - even more decor to enjoy!

Salvatore's Italian Gardens is located at 6461 Transit Road.

No matter what time of year, you'll be overwhelmed (in a mostly good way!) as soon as you step inside. The restaurant and hotel pride themselves in their over-the-top decor each season, and they take their jobs in interior decor very seriously!

From fountains and statues to cars parked indoors and all-of-the-lights-everywhere, Salvatore's is truly a place to remember - and the food at the restaurant makes it all the more enjoyable!
