The season of love is upon us, and we'd be remiss not to seek out the best local spots to treat your special someone. If your requirements include candlelit tables, wonderful wine lists, and entrees that will titillate even the pickiest of taste buds, make plans for a night on the town and enjoy a date night dinner at any of these 9 most romantic restaurants in Buffalo.
1. Tappo (338 Ellicott Street)
Tappo is a great spot to wine and dine in Buffalo. This delicious Italian restaurant has a perfectly romantic atmosphere and their dinner menu is just as impressive as their wine list!
2. SEAR (200 Delaware Avenue)
Have we mentioned lately how impressed we are with SEAR? This steakhouse is perfectly swanky, with staple entrees for meat-eaters. Your special someone will love sinking their teeth into these steaks!
3. Left Bank (511 Rhode Island Street)
The Left Bank has great ambiance and delicious food to match. Enjoy a romantic meal in this bistro-style restaurant. We highly recommend the penne with grilled steak!
4. Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant (56 W. Chippewa Street)
There's nothing more romantic than a candlelit dinner, and Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant delivers on the setting! The menu at Bacchus is always impressive, but we have our eye on their tentative Valentine's Day menu, which features lobster bisque, calamari and shrimp, roasted duck breast, and more!
5. Tempo (581 Delaware Avenue)
Tempo offers one of the most extensive wine lists in Buffalo, and their meal selections are just as impressive. Dining at Tempo is a welcomed change of pace - with fresh, locally-sourced, seasonal ingredients and nightly feature dishes that are to die for.
6. Trattoria Aroma (307 Bryant Street)
Love is a specialty pizza fresh from the oven at Trattoria Aroma. Even if you're not in the mood for pizza pie, this romantic restaurant has something to satiate any appetite.
7. Buffalo Chophouse (282 Franklin Street)
The Buffalo Chophouse is undoubtedly one of Buffalo's most famous restaurants, but it's also one of the most romantic! Treating your special someone to a meal here is a grand gesture you'll both love, especially if you finish off your meal with their delectable chocolate layer cake.
8. Oliver's (2095 Delaware Avenue)
Oliver's is perhaps one of the most underrated romantic restaurants in Buffalo. This spot has unmatched style and an extensive menu. Start with the cheese plate and sample Chef Warhol's Tasting Menu for a unique experience!
