    Tasty pasta with quality ingredients and wonderful sauce! Crab cakes were a little salty! Nice service and ambiance.

    Halibut and  Gnocchi

    The food was excellent! Ava was our server and she was very helpful and knowledgeable and just wonderful! We sat out on the patio and it was so relaxing. The restaurant was clean

    Ahi tuna special with pasta and eggplant

    When you walk into Casa Antica, well you feel like you are walking your grandmas home. It smells amazing and you are always greeted with a warm, friendly smile. We started with drinks then burrata cheese app and the grilled octopus special. They were both delicious. My husband and I both ordered specials. I got the Ahi tuna and he ordered the Chilean sea bass. So much delicious food!! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    With speedy service and a smile I got my order of Arancini. They offer a meat or spinach kind and are delicious. Plus a nice drink at the bar is a refreshing treat after a long hot day.I had the Limoncello Margarita and it was soothing and amazing.

    With fast and friendly service I received my arancini.They were tasty and come in a meat or spinach variety.Make sure to stop by the bar and grab a drink.I ordered the Limoncello Margarita it was delicious and the perfect drink to cool off with on a hot day.

    Grilled Octopus Appetizer

    Casa Antica is nestled in charming Lewiston with in and outdoor dining. We enjoyed octopus which is one of my faves and arancini appetizers which is a house speciality. Entrees included Chicken Parm, Alaska Halibut and Chicken Milanese. My Halibut was cooked to perfection. Generous portions to take home. Ask for Michael, our waiter was most accommodating. Enjoy the summer at Casa Antica. Buon Appetito.

    Chicken Parmesan

    I surprised my husband on a Saturday evening in July for a nice birthday dinner at Casa Antica! Wow were we pleasantly surprised. I got the chicken Parmesan and I highly recommend it! The chicken was perfectly crispy and so flavorful, topped with the thickest layer of mozzarella cheese I have ever had on a chicken parm! To make it even better, our lovely waiter brought out this amazing spread of bread and dips! It was a great touch and the bread and dips were so good that it left me wanting more! I highly recommend checking out this lovely place in the quaint town of Lewiston! The patio was lovely for a warm July night, and the wait staff were nothing but wonderful, exceptional service, and very attentive to all our needs! We will definitely be returning here again for another amazing dining experience!

    Let me just start out by saying this place is a hidden gem in WNY in the quaint little town of Lewiston! My wife and I decided to try Casa Antica out for my birthday and boy are we both glad we did! We were sat out on the beautiful patio and enjoyed the nice summer weather ordering drinks and the stuffed banana peppers! Highly recommend these as the sauce on them was amazing! My wife ordered the chicken parm and I orders the veal parm! Both were cooked to perfection- so crispy and paired perfectly with the house sauce and penne. The service we experienced was also two thumbs up! Definitely recommend this quaint little spot and will be coming back!!!

    Penne Vodka with Shrimp

    I walked in as soon as the doors opened as I was in the area for the afternoon. This was recommended to me by a local. I sat down and was greeted by a friendly staff. It's a fairly standard Italian restaurant set up so nothing to write about in terms of decor. After a huge specials menu I chose the octopus special as I tend to always try octopus when I travel. It was good. Not the best I have ever had but the octopus had good flavor to it. For my taste there was too much celery under the octopus. My main course was penne vodka and they have homemade pasta but I would say the penne was very good. Good texture and mouth feel but the shrimp I got with it wasn't very flavorful. The sauce was good but not the best I have ever had. This is a good spot for local Italian. Good but not exceptional. The staff makes the experience much more enjoyable.

    Wow! We had reservations but showed up earlier than expected. However, we were seated immediately. We didn't get service immediately since the staff was in a meeting with the chef. The owner came around to check on the customers. The food is amazing!!!! So many flavors and delicious mixtures. Everything we ate was fantastic from the bread to the appetizer to the meal and drinks. Very relaxing meal on the patio. Was a cool breeze and plenty of shade. Clearly there are a lot of regulars that makes it feel more at home. Definitely would return, my first time but the company I was w had been prior.

    This place is good.... It could be fantastic. The menu is very authentic and has great options. The servers are friendly and can answer all your questions, even the ones in training (Christina). The only problem was, and it was a problem from start to finish... we did not have ONE, not even ONE hot dish served to us. Which is surprising considering our food came out quicker than we could even drink our cocktails. I really want to come back here, but I have been told my the locals that this is an ongoing problem. I'll choose not to spend hundreds of dollars on a dinner for 2 that is cold in the middle.... Well... maybe lukewarm(I'll be nice). Now the tiramisu was amazing cold. Seriously fantastic dessert!

    I went to Casa Antica for my 21st birthday dinner with my boyfriend and the restaurant looked so beautiful inside ! Very classy and quiet ! We got a couple glasses of moscato and I got clam pasta and my boyfriend got the veal! Our very sweet waitress Sadie helped me with the menu , and was very sweet with my table ! I am so glad I came to this restaurant for my birthday I can't wait to come more !

    When I was in Niagara falls a year ago, I went to dinner at this restaurant and it was absolutely…read moreone of the most classy and amazing meals I've had. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and everything was really good. Located right on the corner going down Lundy's Lane, the place looks very simple from the outside, but once you walk through the doors you realize you are in for an elegant dining experience. Started out with a orange Pellegrino which was wonderful, they brought out some bread and this amazing honey and ricotta cheese spread. Absolutely to die for but be careful. It would be easy to fill up on that and miss out on the wonders of the meal that's coming. I started the meal off with their Caesar salad which was absolutely perfect. The right amount of dressing lettuce was second to none and it was one of the most delicious Caesars I've had. I opted for the gnocchi oso buco ragu, which was absolute perfection. Be careful though, these gnocchi are no joke. The taste will keep you eating all of them and you will absolutely be ready to take a nap afterwards. Bottom line? If you are looking for fine dining in the Niagara falls area, you would be doing yourself a disservice not going to this restaurant. It's absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it!

Beautiful, beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere, soft music, amazing service by Juan our waiter. We started with Caesar salad and the bruschetta appetizers - Boyfriend's salad was very good. I liked the capers and strong hint of anchovies in the dressing (which he always has on the side). Bruschetta was not what I expected - I felt it was missing something, not much flavor - although the bread was super fresh and tomatoes perfectly ripe. As mains he had the Americana pizza (pepperoni) and I had the lamb, served with a citrusy risotto and rapini. I loved the lamb! Highly recommend. It was literally so tender that I didn't need the knife to cut it! We asked Juan how the cook made it that way - he wouldn't tell and said it was the kitchen's secret! It was delicious. Risotto was perfect too. I'm not a fan of rapini but it was well cooked and seasoned. Boyfriend regretted his choice a little, although he says his pizza was good - but after tasting my lamb, he was sorry he didn't choose a meat dish. I had a shot of Amaretto on ice and the cannolis for dessert. Delicious and obviously homemade. I was a bit put off that a bus boy pulled out our appetizer plates while we were still actively eating. Hint, if our forks are in our hand and we're bringing them to our mouth with food on it, we're not done yet :/ Not the first place this happens and a pet peeve of mine... but whatever. Also, the couple with 5 kids... 5 kids omg... maybe this wasn't the best restaurant choice for you if you are going to let the two small ones run wild around the dining room and almost hit a waiter with a tray of drinks... but this isn't the restaurant's fault. We will return! Worth it just for the amazing lamb, and a short 5 minute walk from the Doubletree hotel, if you are staying there!

    We had a reservation on a Wednesday night at 5pm, but would have preferred 6pm. There were no other…read morereservations available that day until 7:30pm, yet the restaurant was about half empty the entirety of our meal (just about until 7:30), so I'm kinda confused about how they run their reservations; that being said, it was nice to not be packed in and have the restaurant be super loud. Our service started out great and was attentive, but after we got our main dishes the server was nowhere to be found. That is where the one star was lost on this review. Now on to the food itself. To start off the meal, we were brought complimentary focaccia with red sauce that was served warm and was quite tasty. My one friend and I quickly devoured it. For apps, we ordered calamari and a burrata plate. The calamari was perfectly, lightly battered and not super greasy. It came on a bed of arugula with the same yummy sauce that was served with the focaccia. The sizeable piece of burrata (drizzled with balsamic glaze) came with fresh strawberries, prosciutto, candied walnuts and crostini (which came on a separate plate since my one friend is gf). It was definitely a good amount of food for the price ($16). For main dishes, we ordered the Branzino, Chef's Special Risotto (red wine braised short rib on this day) and GF spaghetti pomodoro. We all enjoyed our dinners. The risotto being the most loved. I found the branzino to be a little dry/not super flaky; but, as I have never had branzino before, I don't know if that was just because of the type of fish it is. It still had a good flavor.

    My friend and I drove from Rochester to Lewiston for an evening at Artpark and were looking forward…read moreto a wonderful Italian dinner before the concert. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had. The restaurant describes itself as a "rustic Italian eatery." Rustic can be charming, but in this case it felt more outdated than authentic. The dining room was very dark, and although I'd reserved an early table because the only available reservation times were 5:00 or 7:45, we arrived to find many empty tables. I never judge a restaurant by its décor alone. Some of the best Italian meals I've had have come from the most unassuming little places. Sadly, the food here never lived up to the promise. We were served two small slices of baguette that were so dry and stale they crumbled apart with the slightest touch. I honestly thought the crumbs on top were grated cheese at first. For an appetizer, we ordered the Panelle because neither of us had ever tried them before. The chickpea fritters were topped with a dollop of ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and what amounted to a single strand of lemon zest. Unfortunately, they were extremely bland and left neither of us wanting to order them again. Our entrées were close to $30 each. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana, and my friend had the Chicken Scaloppine. The eggplant was heartbreaking. There were only two layers, and they had broken down into a mushy texture that barely resembled eggplant. Had the skin not still been attached, I honestly wouldn't have known what I was eating. It came with a side of spaghetti that was dramatically overcooked, and the tomato sauce tasted flat and one-dimensional. As someone who is 100% Sicilian and has enjoyed Italian cooking my entire life, I found the sauce particularly disappointing. I couldn't finish it. My friend's Chicken Scaloppine looked attractive on the plate, and the chicken itself was tender, but the dish had almost no flavor. By the time dinner was over, our bill exceeded $110 before the concert had even begun. We left feeling disappointed that what should have been the highlight of our evening became its biggest letdown. Lewiston itself is absolutely charming, and it's easy to see why people travel from both the U.S. and Canada to visit this beautiful town. I only wish our dinner had matched the setting. Based on our experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. There are too many wonderful Italian restaurants in Western New York to spend your money here.

Granted, the restaurant is in the middle of the desolate town of Niagara Falls, NY (and I mean there's nothing around), but once you step into the restaurant, you know why they're still standing after 4 generations. It's like walking onto a set of Goodfellas so I knew right away that I wasn't going to be disappointed. Danielle, our server, is the granddaughter of the original owners. I believe her brother is the chef and they continue their grandparents legacy to this day. We ordered a caprese salad to start. Gnocchi with meatballs and Eggplant parm were the entrees both served with a simple (what I call Sunday) sauce. The food was impeccable!!! What I loved is that it was clean and fresh tasting. The eggplant was not overly breaded and fried - it was stacked like layers of lasagna. The gnocchi were perfect little potato pillows! Bravo to the family!! Your grandparents would be so proud!

We ordered beans and greens soup and two specials, Taste of Italy (chicken Parm, 3 ravioli and fettuccine Alfredo) and stuffed rigatoni, which both came with a choice of soup or salad. When the food came, there was an ample amount of sauce and it was nice & hot. The red sauce was good, not sweet, but not acidic either... A nice balance. The Alfredo was super creamy. My chicken parm was perfectly cooked... Thin coating perfectly crisp with tender chicken inside. The stuffed rigatoni were enjoyed by my dad... Sure enough, each rigatoni was individually stuffed and sealed on the ends as the name suggests. We all had the beans & greens soup and enjoyed it.
