I drove by this place 20+ times, on my way eat at the casino that it stands in the shadow of, each time chuckling at the "Italian Restaraunt in a Super 8 Motel". It just proves that I am the stupid one because after eating there the first time I discover what I great italian food should be. Been back... More

This tiny restaurant gives you personal attention. They are obviously very proud of what they have here. My husband and I visited near Valentine's Day and it was such a nice experience. The food was delicious and there was a nice variety. Not to mention the portion sizes. All the ladies received a rose for Valentine's Day. It's my new... More

Went there with a family of 4. Everyone in the group was pleased with their meals. Service was excellent. Owner was present and very friendly. Don't let the setting in the Super 8 deter you. We would definitely go back.

We enjoyed dinner here very much. Good food and the staff is very friendly. Since it is small, it does feel a bit cramped; but, not enough to ruin the experience.

My husband I recently returned from a 3 week road trip where I've reviewed 20+ hotels/restaurants. I've saved the best place for last. As others have written, it is not a fancy or big place with 7 tables, and the location is odd at the corner of a Super 8. I called for a reservation on of all holidays "Mother's... More

I was expecting worse from reading TripAdvisor reviews as far as the location and atmosphere, but we honestly thought the restaurant was very nice. It is small, but clean; white tablecloths and lots of windows. Free parking. We didn't have reservation on a Friday night, but were seated within 5 minutes. Very helpful and friendly waitresses. The wait for bread/salads/food... More

Food was very good and very original. All the regular Italian favorites but also unique dishes that I was not familiar with. The portions were also very generous. . The restaurant is tiny with an open kitchen. They are located in the super 8 motel, which is where my husband and I stayed. The hotel is horible and has a... More

While my husband and I were dining there. Several couples and families walked up (I'm sure they read the rave reviews on Trip Advisor) but ended up leaving because the place is so tacky. There are a couple of neon beer signs in the window and it is literally part of a Super 8 motel!! But the food is truly... More

Small but authentic little Italian restaurant worth while visiting on the US side of the falls (there are not too many good options to choose from...).

We had reservations at 8 and when we arrived we were asked to wait 10 mins to be seated. We waited for 45 minutes. The problem is not the wait. It's the way the staff ignores us. They never even looked our way. Do not offer a glass of water or an apology or any kind if consideration for wasting... More
