Old school Italian which was excellent! Great service, fair prices and great food. Started with bread which was charred sourdough served with olive oil & balsamic plus a compound butter (garlic and anchovies). Everything was great including the desert. Trust me, this place is fabulous! read more

We had a fantastic experience at Four Brothers Cucina! Not only was all of our food delectable (seriously, no complaints), but our waiter was so kind, sociable, and helpful! She gave us suggestions of things to do in the area and gave us help with the menu. I had the three course meal with Antipasto as my starter, Rigatoni as my entrée, and Tiramisu as my dessert. I loved everything, but the Rigatoni was definitely the stand out. I enjoyed it with a sauvignon blanc which made the whole meal so delicious and crisp. The dining room is beautiful as well. I would highly recommend stopping here for a nice dinner if you are in the Niagara Falls area! read more

This is a sit down restaurant. The atmosphere is more high end. They have a 3 course menu or regular menu, but both are very pricey. They have good service, but expect to pay for all the things you would expect to have at a sit-down restaurant like bread for the table. They don't have a children's menu, but they did make children's size and friendly pasta dishes for the kids, though those also were very pricey. The chicken cutlet for the chicken parm was the best I've had, like grandma made. read more

The place was cute and have an old fashion feel . We had the set menu . I had the bread with olive oil and balsamic it wasn't that great . Then I had the minestrone soup which was hearty and delicious . I had the seafood risotto . It was pretty good too I enjoyed the shrimp and calamari but I didn't like the fish pieces in it . And our server was so sweet and so attentive . It was a nice ending to our Canada trip . read more

A great Italian place in downtown NF. Fast and polite service. Had the veal parm which was excellent, could tell by the tomato sauce. A little more $$ but authentic. read more

The food and service is absolutely amazing!!! We came for dinner and were surprised that we were the only ones in the restaurant and were a bit worried. However, upon service and appetizer we were blown away completely. The honey truffle butter, the ossobuco, the lasagna, the veal parm were honestly the best we've had in a very long time. We were surprised that the owner lives very nearby and loved hearing the stories on how families have been frequenting the restaurant for decades. read more

Very good. Sauce was tasty on all dishes. Maybe rigatoni could have used a little more salt. I finished my veal parm dinner. Service was very good and server was kind. Had a late dinner so pretty much had the restaurant to our selves. Bread was also very good. Nice bottle of wine. read more

This place was recommended to us and met our expectations well. Service was friendly and prompt. The food is prepared in house and certainly tasted fresh and authentic. The shrimp arrabbiata was delightful as a starter and the calamari was great. I ordered the meatballs and spaghetti which I thoroughly enjoyed, washing it down with a pleasant valpolicella, while my wife had the cannelloni. Our server, whose name escapes me, was very pleasant and did a fine job. We ordered a desert and I had tiramisu which didn't meet the expected standard. It was overly moist and lacked flavour. I finished off with an excellent double espresso. I would certainly come back and do recommend this place, but hope to see some improvement in the tiramisu. read more

I am so sad to be writing this. i saw the reviews and had high expectations. while the service was nice, it took an hour and fifteen minutes to get our entrees. the restaurant was only a quarter full and it still took really long. about the food: the veal pasta was cold and flavorless. my sister had to ask for salt. the gnocchi was pretty good, no complaints. our server, blaire, was fantastic. truly a beautiful soul and was attentive and caring. the only reason i chose to give this place another star. read more

Service was wonderful and atmosphere was calming. Our waiter was very nice. The food, however, was not truly authentic italian. We got the veal parm and lasagna. The veal was okay, but all the pasta and sauce tasted cheap and store bought. The lasagna barely had any meat and cheese and was basically all reheated/microwaved noodles. read more

Had an fantastic dining experience. The restaurant was very warm, the hand-made pasta was delicious and the staff is friendly and attentive. The options for local wines complemented the meal. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Italian food in a cozy setting! read more

Please plan ahead when coming to Niagara Falls we came in at 5 ish for a spot at one place but they were empty and wouldn't serve us. This restaurant had many spaces and was reluctant at first to take us. We didn't even look at the menu because we were desperate to sit down and eat. Our waiter was nice but the food took forever to come. As you can see the price isn't cheap and the quality is mediocre. All the mussels in my pasta has a fishy smell. I guess this is the reason why they were the only ones taking us in. Lol read more

This was probably one of the best Italian restaurants we have ever been to. There were 4 adults in our group and we were all more than satisfied. The atmosphere was really nice, service was great, pasta noodles were homemade, food was DELICIOUS and the prices were very fair. They had a descent wine list to choose from as well. We decided on their house white 2011 Vino Bianco. We were very happy we found this gem! We started with Bruschetta & Calamari, both were very good. For dinner, I thoroughly enjoyed the Fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and chicken, the flavors were unbelievable. My husband absolutely loved the lasagna, the noodles almost melted in your mouth and he said it was hands down the best lasagna he had ever had!!! The couple we were with loved their dishes as well. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Canada!!! :) read more

The word amazing for this food doesn't do it justice. I ordered the food adventure which was amazing personally my favorite was the ravioli. It tasted authentic as if you were in Italy the ambience gave off an old fashioned vibe. The service was simply amazing. Would return again. read more

This place is just great. The food is amazing. Truly authentic and delicious. Service is Lao so good. Twice we have been there with a group of 20 and twice they made it work. So impressed. They really care about their customers and want it to be a friendly experience. Food is fair priced but portion sizes are odd. For example, pasta is not expensive at all. (I.e. the noodle itself). They put a lot of fish in the pasta but so little noodle. Weird. I say keep the fish the same and double the actual noodle and you have a winning dish. Fish is so good. We had Basa which came from Greece and was wild caught. Women loved the fish. Calamari are amazing. Small portion but decent quality. Lasagna is a big portion. And the gnocchi are amazing. Also large portion. Very fair priced and great quality with amazing taste. Their tomato sauces are so good. Very true to home cooking. Impressive. Antipasto dishes are lacking in quantity too. For $42 we got a platter that was so pretty on a nice wooden platter but only had 4 slices of ham, 4 slices of salami, a few olives, artichoke quarters (maybe 3-4) and 4 slices of cheese. For that much money they should include a LOT more. Ironically the kids chicken fingers and fries was such a large portion it as twice the quantity of an adult pasta and less than half the price! And I will say, it was soooo good. High quality chicken. All things considered... the food is perfect in taste. They have really great cooks. And the service is great. Very attentive and accommodating. Always checking in and asking how things were. I appreciate that kind of attention. It does not surprise me that they have been around since 1964. With food this good, I will be back. And you should check them out too. read more

Walking past the restaurant, it didn't look like much. But once we were inside, wow! The atmosphere was good and the service was prompt. But it was good that we were walking, because we didn't see many places for customers to park. This is some of the best Italian food I have had outside of Italy. I had the veggie risotto, and it was delicious. It was creamy without the vegetables being mushy. My grandson had lasagna. He is a big dude and can eat my son out of his house, but he was full after the meal. I had a scrumptious Caesar salad with just the proper amount of dressing. read more

Absolutely delicious! Some of the best caprese and pasta I've ever had! The pasta is very clearly made fresh and they incorporate edible flowers into their dishes as a garnish. Tried an Italian beer Moretti that was good as well. read more

Italian food done right! We ate every bite. Had a great outdoor area as well. Make sure you order the Tiramisu. Best I have ever had. read more

Service was good however the food was just awful. We ordered ravioli, meatballs, and fettuccine. All very salty, cold, and not authentic in the slightest. Farther from Real Italian food than Olive Garden is. Would not recommend. read more

From the outside, and inside, Cucina looks like it would serve authentic Italian food. I come from an Italian American family, and my husband is a former sous chef. So to the yelper who said American tourists don't know what real quality Mama food is, you're incorrect. Overpriced and poor quality food. The wait time for service was way too long. We Asked our server for ice water with lemon, she brought cups of lukewarm water with no ice And a sliver of lemon floating inside. We asked for the salad (which is not included with the entrees) to come out with the bruschetta. The bruschetta was the only quality dish we had. Waitress brought the salad out with the entrees, one of which was supposed to be shrimp Alfredo but was chicken. She did bring out some cooked shrimp after son was halfway finished. My husbands lasagna famosa was THE worst lasagna he, and I, had ever tasted. Layers of mushy, very soft noodles. The sauce tasted canned, almost like Chef Boyardee in its blandness. He ate a third of it before he could take it no more. Waitress did comp it from check, but questioned our judgment before doing so. We don't like to complain and usually will muster through, but this lasagna was so awful and inedible that he left hungry. And.....what Italian restaurant does not offer bread with their entrees?! We would steer anyone away from Cucina, head down to Antica where you may have to wait in line, but it is worth it!! read more

Literally the tiniest bowl of noodles I have ever seen. My Entree plate had 7 noodles on it. On a $50 dinner, one would expect a more generous offering of pasta. Finished dinner and going out somewhere else afterwards to eat because I am hungry still. Never before have I left an Italian Restaurant still hungry. Who leaves an Italian restaurant with an empty belly ever? DISSATISFIED and DISAPPOINTED. read more

We were recommended this restaurant by the Canadian Border officer in 2018 as we were looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday. We enjoyed it so much, when we returned to Niagara Falls in 2019 my wife and I went back and it was just as good as it was in 2018. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is wonderful. When we return to the falls again in August of 2020, we will make this stop again. read more

Other people seemed like they enjoyed their food, so maybe it was just our meal that was not great. Also wish they had a non-meat sauce option, as the only vegetarian option was gnocchi pesto. Staff seemed to be fighting with each other while we were there, which didn't help. Weird menu setup, as they had an "a la carte" menu and a full 5 course menu. But the entire table had to choose 1 of these menus to order from. Pricing is fair in Niagara Falls. read more

This is classic Italian food like the best Italian restaurants in San Francisco. every aspect of the meal was spot on great And our waiter was as helpful and charming as you find it a great restaurant in Italy. The ingredients and the preparation speak to the true artists in the kitchen. read more

Excellent food and friendly service. I want to come back to Niagara Falls just to eat here again.

Picked on a whim for lunch - was a mistake. Service was friendly but very slow. Unclear why all the lights were off in the middle of the day. Ambience inside was like a funeral parlor. Beer selection didn't impress at all. Would expect craft beer and was disappointed to have nothing but mass market brews on the menu. Food was slow to come out and of middling quality. Garlic bread had no garlic. Pasta sauce tasted like it came out of a can. Could have produced the same product in my hotel room with a hot plate. read more

First time at Four Brothers Cucina.in Niagara Falls. Started out with great Bruschetta. Calamari was good but high at $15. My Veal Parmigianna was over done and no where near the value of $29. My wife Chicken Parm and the chicken was very hard. Not tender like all other places and at $29 it was no where near worth it. My one daughter had the steak and it was picked k in the middle not well do everything as requested. They put in on grill and it was not bad she said. It was new York strip with a few veggies and no potato or salad unless you paid extra. It was $38. Again no where near the value. All.steaks come with potato side. Lastly my other daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo. She added.tje chicken for $7.50. She could barely first day the pieces. We should have.seen it all over the top of the pasta. In.short don't waste your money. read more

Not sure why this place gets slammed on Yelp. It's simply awesome, old school Italian food that will fill your belly and make you feel good. They've remodelled since we first ate there. Have had 3 meals there over the years and all were excellent, tonight really hit the spot. There's nothing fancy about the presentation, the service is warm and friendly. The ravioli is absolutely fresh and the sauce you'll want extra bread to prevent licking the plate. Other half had the fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms and was awesome. There's so many crap tourist grabs in The Falls and this place is the real deal. We always enjoyed our food here but tonight just really was special, definitely look forward to returning. The wine list isn't huge but is thoughtful and a decent value. read more

What a rip off. We are vegan & vegetarian and have trouble eating in a lot of one horse towns. Niagara Falls was no exception. This place charges an astronomical amount for noodles and sauce. I was appalled. Husband had Gnocchi, I had a Prima Vera Pasta...noodles are commercially made, sauces didn't taste homemade at all. Gnocchi actually looked to have plain old Ragu on it. Garlic bread was white loaf rusks with NO BUTTER OR GARLIC PRESENT. Meals were nearly $20 each..never to mind the appies. Service was meh/aloof....maybe they were ashamed of the lack of quality ~ I would be. read more

Went in for early dinner. Quiet ambience. Has an outside tent and several parking spots. Inside features plenty of space. Food was good. Enjoyed the ravioli and clam spaghetti. Service was subpar tolerable tolerable. Reasonably clean bathrooms. Prices on the higher end. read more

On vacation for a week and this is the first restaurant we came to. I must say the place was very welcoming and cozy. The servers were very friendly. The best lasagna I have ever eaten has been in this place, the layers of pasta are thin and the meat is delicious, it's definitely one of the best things on the menu. Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken was Devine , my husband had the 3 meat spaghetti it was delicious. I highly recommend everyone visiting this area to stop by read more

Four Brothers Cucina is excellent. I am a journalist and food writer from Philadelphia and I was visiting Niagara Falls to write a travel story about the area. I was looking for a locally owned, non-chain restaurant for Saturday night dinner for me and my family, and we wandered into Four Brothers Cucina. We were originally sat in a back room that had no one else in it, I am guessing because we have young children, but the hostess moved us to the front room upon request. The front room of Four Brothers Cucina looks like it was recently renovated. Comfortable but sleek in its own way. Would be a good spot for a date, but also casual enough that well-behaved kids are ok in there. Our server was a real charm. One thing I like about Niagara Falls being such a huge tourist destination is that a lot of the servers are career servers as opposed to college students. Knowledgeable and professional and they care about their job. She was all of those. She was also our bartender, it turned out, and made my wife and me two perfect gin martinis. As for the food at Four Brothers Cucina, the garlic bread wasn't garlicky enough for us, but we are garlic fiends. And other than that, no complaints. (And that's not REALLY a complaint.) We very much enjoyed the minestrone, house salad (better than most "house salads" and there was enough for the four of us to each have some), lasagna, spaghetti with anchovies, and the spaghetti with the beef/pork/veal sauce/gravy. The local Cabernet our waitress recommended was also a winner. I read some of the reviews on this page and some of them are, frankly, puzzling. I honestly can't imagine how someone who actually ate at Four Brothers Cucina could come away with these very negative opinions. If this place was down the street from my house, I would be there once a week. And I live in Philly, where we have a lot of great Italian restaurants. In a town with so many mediocre chain restaurants and other tourist traps, Four Brothers Cucina is a real godsend. Should be five stars all the way. read more

The food here is just okay, it's a tourist trap restaurant in Niagara falls so be prepared before you come. Its very dated as well with horrible uncomfortable chairs, at least they could do is update the place with some modem day chairs that don't made your arse hurt.. DON'T GO HERE WITH A COUPON They offer coupons in the entertainment book as well as the Niagara falls coupon book. They will do anything to get out of letting you use your coupon. If the item is on special, forget about it. If soup or dessert is included with your meal, forget about it. You must pay full price and throw your coupon in the garbage because they wont take it. read more

We were visiting Niagara Falls on the way back home from Toronto and were looking for a non-touristy place to eat. It was early April at the time, Niagara was deserted (I assume because it was pretty cold). We were walking around trying to select a place to eat and finally decided to try Four Brothers. We walked in and the hostess told us to take any table we wanted (we were the only ones there, which I loved). I really enjoyed the cozy, wood-paneled, grandmother-decorated feel they had going on. The place has been around for like 45 years, so it felt very authentic. They had a good lunch special (2 courses for $8). I asked for something was not on the menu (pasta arrabiata) and they were nice enough to make it for me. It was delicious. My wife had the ravioli and it was one of the few times I have seen her finish her entire plate in a sitting. We got a chance to talk to the owner in Italian and they sent us out a complimentary round of desserts - homemade, Italian, Easter cakes. We left very happy and enjoyed the food very much. We will definitely come back. read more

Whaaaaaat! My sister and I came here yesterday for lunch. We were visiting Niagara Falls and were very hungry after walking around all day. We found this place. 4 brothers was a super nice restaurant with nice decorations and interior and exterior but wait the food was even better! We got super good bruschetta with veggies, minestrone soup, and mushroom fetuccine. The food was excellent! Our waitress was awesome! Very affordable price was definitely right for quality. Some of the best Italian I've ever had, I am shocked this place would not have good reviews this place was awesome and I would highly recommend. read more

Come here with my new husband on our honeymoon and it was lovely. We consider ourselves well to do with food, foodies of you will, and we enjoyed our lunch. I had the ravioli and he had the lasagna. We both could not stop eating! Worth getting the extra $5 for the sausage! read more

The place was pretty dead, and we were the only ones in there for most of our meal. The server was quick to get our orders and drinks, but after that tended to disappear for long stretches of time. Since it was dead, we heard all of the server's conversations about how the debit system works, and what flowers they were planting at home and all sorts of stuff. Sure, I get that you're bored, but its not exactly the background you want for eating out. The calamari was an odd preparation to us, being mostly batter and not a whole lot of squid. Also, it was served with cocktail sauce, not the marinara we're used to in Italian joints. The marinara with our meals was pretty thin, and didn't have much flavor or body to it. The veal parm I had was nicely seasoned, and cooked well. The gnocchi I had was tasty and had good texture, but would have been better with a better marinara. My girlfriend had the chicken parm, which didn't have the same seasoning as the veal and seemed kind of bland. Her lasagna was pretty good, but could have done with, yet again, a heartier marinara sauce. read more

Mama approved fine Italian food? Authentic Italian kitchen? This has to be one of the best jokes I've ever heard. In fact the whole Menu is a joke. Uninmaginative standard food like the one you find at any Pizza Hut around the corner - I guess the food at Pizza Hut tastes even better than that stuff they serve you here. I guess this restaurant works for American tourists who don't have any expectations and don't even know what real, authentic, Mama approved food tastes like, but it doesn't work for me. I wish I could give 0 stars to this restaurant. read more

We wondered in here on a sat night after a different restaurant we had reservations too was super busy because of a staffing issue. This place was not our first choice but did a good job feeding us quick. The place was busy but food came out quick and was a solid 4 stars. I went with the veal and was not disappointed. The service and server did an a wonderful job. The orange ricotta cheese cake was amazing . All in all they saved the night thank you. read more

This was my first time here with my boyfriend who has been countless times with his family. We ordered the bruschetta, seafood pasta and chicken parm - all of which were decent. If we were being nit picky, the chicken was a bit over cooked but we were hungry and the seasoning overshadowed it. Pretty run of the mill restaurant experience until we paid the bill. We were given the itemized bill first and asked for the machine for a card payment. When the machine was handed to my boyfriend, the total had already included a 15% tip. I understand this is common practice for large parties however I've never encountered this for a two person party. There was no mention of it anywhere that this was a restaurant policy. Judging from the reviews, this seems to be an isolated situation but really disappointed us. We will not be returning. read more
