Buffalo Dining Club

ordered the zucchini flower, mortadella for entree and the Spaghetti Cacio É Pepe, and the pasta special which was a ragu. Unfortunately not amazing. Pasta was a bit cold, cacio was really not very good and I’ve had much better elsewhere. A little disappointed. Zucchini flowers were quite good though. Expected more from the rave reviews but wasn’t to my taste. Lovely service

Until yesterday, I didn't realise this place existed, but I'm glad I made the (Google) discovery. Italian food to me is a collection of a few, simple key ingredients that are prepared and cooked to perfection, and this is what I experienced at Buffalo Dining Club. My entrées consisted of charred corn and potato scallops. These were the best potato scallops I've ever had, as they had a lovely thin batter that was crispy on the outside. My main course was the famous Roman dish called "Cacio e Pepe", and the dish was finished on a wheel of Pecorino Romano cheese. The spaghetti was cooked al dente / firm, but had a lovely bite to it. The flavours were delicious and brought me back to my visit to Rome. A special mention goes out to one of the owners, Peter, who provided service with a smile, and made sure my friend and I felt welcomed and well looked after. Highly recommended visiting this place if you're after a proper Italian food fix.

Update 2022 - as this place isn’t as popular as few years back with so many new pasta spots in town. But that’s a good thing - easier to make a booking even walk-in. And the food and service are still amazing. This is how you tell its a good restaurant. Great place with nice people. Great pasta and wine. Just few items on the menu tho.
