Bistro di Bufala

If could give this place more than 5 stars I definitely would! 1000% recommend to come and enjoy a fantastic meal; we haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy dinner here yet. However, if their brunch is any indication, the food will be leaps and bounds better than you expect. We had the pleasure of having Grace as our waitress, she was the epitome of exemplary in customer service. Grace provided great recommendations, suggestions, and made our first time one to remember. The seasonal menu was phenomenal. Some of the best chilaquiles we ever had, perfect amount of spice, diced up chiles, Bananas foster toast, delicious Irish Coffee, espresso, ice coffee, their homemade focaccia bread! Wow you can’t go wrong with anything here. Beautiful location right in the heart of downtown Visalia! We’ll be back! Thank you everyone, and thank you, Grace!

A very boutique restaurant. A small round table for a party of four was kind of crowded. Food we ordered was on an okay side. The clams were super salty, and the bread was over burned. The Chicken focaccia was not good as expected because the break was soaked with the juice and became too soft without the original texture.

the food did not match the pricing at all. everything felt overpriced for the small portions you get. the alcoholic drinks were honestly nasty — i ordered two and didn’t even finish them because they were just unpleasantly gross. the space is very tight and crowded, with abruptly loud music that made it uncomfortable to sit and talk. while the waiters were nice, they didn’t check on us in a timely manner. overall, i would not recommend this restaurant.

We had a very nice experience at Bistro di Bufala. Even without a reservation on a Friday night, we were seated quickly, which we really appreciated. The food was very good, with some vegetarian options available. It would be great if the menu clearly identified vegetarian and, if available, vegan and/or gluten-free dishes with a small symbol. Parking is a bit limited, but the upstairs area seems accessible for wheelchairs, which is a positive point. The only real downside for us was the service. Our server was polite and professional, but the experience lacked the attentiveness and personalized touch that make a meal truly memorable. For example, she offered us dessert to take home in the middle of our meal (a thoughtful idea), but then brought the check before we had even finished eating, assumed a single bill without asking, and didn’t check if we wanted dessert, coffee, or separate checks. It wasn’t a bad experience at all, but there is room for improvement in making the service feel more attentive and personalized. Overall, considering that the experience was good, I do recommend this restaurant.

Had the best time for drinks!!! The staff is incredible and the drinks are beyond delicious. I had a cosmo (I know dated) friends had a tea infused cocktail, a lemon martini and we indulged in a bottle of delicious Chardonnay. I know the food is delicious too five stars all the way. Shout out to Derrick the bartender and Nate and David they are the best!
