JT's Buffalo

“We went to JT’s for Mother’s Day and had a great experience. The food was delicious, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. Jeff was our server and he was very pleasant, attentive, and friendly throughout our meal. He made us feel welcomed and helped make our Mother’s Day celebration even more enjoyable. Thank you, Jeff!”

“Went here last n8ght thinking I could get shrimp and grits ,since thats what I googled and it sent me here. Was a little disappointed but only for a bit. As the the whole experience was great. We sat at the bar and were taken care of faithfully. Great service and great food. We ordered crab cakes and roasted beet salad ,both were amazing a must try. Then I ordered fruti de mare which was linguine and shrimp,mussels ,clams with a great sauce and my friend had the Salomn . Both dishes to die for. Thanks for the experience we will be back . Great atomsphere.”

“It's a stylish place with very good service. Music is not too loud, but after 6 pm on Saturday it's a bit too noisy due to the crowd. You can definitely come here for a romantic date. Steak Tartare Hand-chopped beef, capers, shallots and sweet marmalade of red onion created an interesting mixture of flavors, but it was too sweet. Methinks that some chopped anchovy could make the dish even better by adding some salty notes, but even as it is, it’s very impressive steak tartare. Grilled Octopus Very good and tender octopus perfectly paired with fregula and shaved fennel. Although it was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was really good overall. Filet Mignon Perfect medium-rare doneness - very juicy and tender steak. The mild bitter flavor from broccoli rabe paired with beef and mashed potatoes (also it was a bit too salty for my taste, we even asked to replace it). Cream Brule One of the best cream brules I tried in last couple of years - perfect crust and texture, a nice “degree” of sweetness with very subtle notes of orange. Strawberry added fruit freshness and pleasant sour notes. Conclusion: I really liked the place!”

“I recently dined at JT’s Urban Italian and wanted to share my experience, both the highs and the lows. Reservation and Seating Reservation time:** Booked a week in advance for 8:00 PM. Arrival vs. seating: Arrived at 7:45 PM and were seated at 8:23 PM. First impression issue: The moment you walk in, there’s a puddle on the floor from a drenched rug. It’s a surprising and avoidable hazard, especially in a dining environment. In snowy weather, I’d expect quick attention to keep entryways dry and slip-free. Ambiance and Service Hostess demeanor:The hostesses didn’t appear particularly happy, which set a tense tone as we entered. Front-of-house experience:** While not universally negative, the general vibe from the host staff contributed to a lack of warmth at the start of the evening. Food and Drink Pizza presentation: The pizza arrived without a tower, which I found unusual. The absence of a feature that might be expected on a hot, fresh pizza is a minor but noticeable inconsistency. Overall quality: The food was “okay” but not something to rave about. Nothing stood out as exceptional, and several dishes felt routine rather than memorable. Best part:The waiter, Tyler, delivered standout service and the Peach cocktail was enjoyable. A solid highlight in an otherwise average dining experience. Menu and Specials Specials menu practicality: It’s odd to have a specials menu when three dishes were not available. Availability issues undermine the specials concept and can leave guests disappointed. Cleanliness and Maintenance Issues Bathroom and fixtures: There were concerning maintenance notes a broken faucet with tape and trash in the ladies’ room. These issues reflect poorly on overall upkeep and guest experience. Bottom Line JT’s Urban Italian has some redeeming qualities: Attentive and friendly service from the waiter (Tyler). A pleasant Peach cocktail. However, there are several areas that need improvement: Safety and cleanliness: Dry entryway, fix the rug/puddle issue, ensure bathrooms and fixtures are functioning and clean. Front-of-house mood: A warmer, more welcoming attitude from host staff would improve first impressions. Consistency and availability: Ensure specials actually reflect what’s available to avoid disappointing guests. Overall execution: A more cohesive dining experience with better timing on seating, and dishes that justify the price and promise. If you’re considering a visit, it might be worth it for the cocktail and service you may get from Tyler, but manage expectations around the ambiance, availability of menu items, and potential maintenance concerns. I hope JT’s Urban Italian takes these notes to heart and makes improvements for future guests.”
