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!

We had dinner here last night - a Friday - this was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. We did have a…read morereservation which I would recommend, they are pretty busy. 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 great time at Carpaccio on a double date--very nice Italian restaurant with a solid menu,…read moregood atmosphere, and great service. We all really enjoyed our meals and drinks. The Arancini appetizer was the star of the show--crispy, cheesy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. I had the Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with veggies and mushroom gnocchi. The pork was perfectly cooked and super flavourful, with the bacon adding just the right salty touch. The veggies were great and the gnocchi was soft and pillowy, though a little on the bland side--but still enjoyable overall. My wife had the Ravioli Café au Lait--creamy, rich, and with a really nice hint of coffee that worked surprisingly well. Our friends liked their dishes too, especially the Chicken Parm and Gnocchi "Amelia." I really appreciated that they had Thornbury cider and beer on draught--a nice touch. Only downside: my buddy paid $9 for a bottle of Corona... which felt a bit ridiculous. Drinks in general were tasty but a bit overpriced. Overall, we had a great time--fresh food, nice vibe, and a menu that hits. Just watch your drink tab!

Visiting from Texas- food was REALLY good…read more We tried : aranci balls, pizza, steak sandwich and chicken Parmesan. Everything was delicious. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 stars instead of 5 is my dad ordered a salad with his panini steak sandwich. A caprese salad arrives on the table. We ask my dad if that's what he ordered with panini steak sandwich and he shrugs And says I said a salad. He doesn't eat it but my mother and I picked at it cause we figured it that's what came with it. No one liked it so we didn't continue eating it. Our waitress comes back (older lady) and I ask if that's what came with it. And she says "Ohhhhh I'm sorry I misheard." She didn't take it off our bill. We paid. Not going to complain but that was unfortunate. Overall though the food was very good.

Eat as much or as little as you like because trips back to the variety bars are unlimited and the volume of pasta in the 3 bowls is more tan enough for two.

Adding a lot of pictures to this review and I hope it helps this restaurant Food: The food was flavorful. The portions were just enough to be full but not overstuffed. We got many dishes across the menu. The half the eggs came with a sauce which added a nice difference between the eggs on the plate. They make a homemade peach juice which isn't overly sweet and a little sparkly. Also a homemade peach jam that isn't overly sweet either. The cappuccino is Italian style. I loved the bacon. The waffles come with honey and the homemade peach jam. Service: Our waitress was attentive and always asked if it was ok to take our dishes away. The owner came up to our table to check how we were enjoying the food Ambiance: The owner has many family pictures displayed on the walls. Also a lot of trinkets on the walls The place is cash only but there is an atm inside the restaurant
