Buffalo

With superb five-star service, an extensive wine menu and chef-driven Italian fare, Tempo is one of the hallmarks of the Buffalo dining scene. Located in the historic Allentown district and situated in what was once a private residence, circa 1880, Tempo’s hardwood floors and exposed brick walls add to the intimate, Old World feel. The food here is Italian at its very best—including handmade gnocchi, made-to-order pasta Bolognese, creamy lobster-tail risotto and stuffed veal chops. A lengthy but easy-to-navigate wine list (with selections mostly from Italy and California) complements the menu.
