“I ordered a calzone & fried mushrooms and as a first time customer, I was satisfied. The calzone is at least three servings & the mushrooms were fried crispy and both items were delicious. The marinara was also great. I’ll try the pizza next visit.“

“Need to edit review, I went back and had great service. The drive thru staff were polite and very professional. They must got rid of the bad one. 👍🏻(Been going for years, great food and usually great service. Last two times very rude drive thru personal.)“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our team had the absolute BEST experience at La Sorella di Francesca! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was incredible, and the service was next-level. A huge shoutout to Donny Greco, who went above and beyond to make us feel right at home—like we were dining with family. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality and care these days. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with heartfelt service, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Check see & please tell ?“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“We’ve lived in the area for over 8 years and finally stopped here for dinner. The food was delicious - huge portions, the specials include soup and salad and the amazing service from Paulette was absolutely wonderful. I had the ribs - yummy and they fall off the bone. My husband had the chicken Alfredo. He loved it and the portion was huge! Great bang for the buck too. Beer and wine only but that’s all we needed.“

“I’d like to think that if I had a Nonna, she’d be welcoming and never fail to overfeed me. Her food would be hearty and flavorful and she’d never let me leave empty handed. Well, Mamma Onesta’s is as close as I’ll ever get to having a Nonna of my own. Mamma Onesta’s was cozy with the most hospitable staff. She’s situated on the cutest corner of downtown Lockport. Her food is outstanding and the portions are unbelievable. Give this little family business a try - you wont be disappointed!“

We also had the Stuffed Mushrooms which were great. The Moscato was also very good very fruity, the creme bru le was amazing and the fruit was very fresh. Clean environment and great dining experience.“

“We were there for dinner on 5/3. We informed the waiter that we have a garlic allergy. They prepared all of our food separately with no garlic, even making special salad dressing. First time we have been out to eat without pain afterward from garlic! Thank you for your excellent service and accommodation.“

“I had such an amazing experience at this location the other day !! My server, Sam, was a beautiful young lady who was nothing but attentive to everything I needed. From helping me with the wine selection, to introducing me to some dinner options I didn’t even know existed. I can’t thank her enough, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.
10/10 service and experience !!!“

“Great service and food! Sat in the bar area.“

“I've eaten at Piccolo Buco a couple times now and I am very pleasantly surprised! I am only so so on the traditional Cooper's Hawk restaurants, I find their menu items very boring and unimaginative. Not to mention they never change! Piccolo Buco is none of that. Very unique and well thought out items that I cannot wait to further explore. Initial experience is five stars all day!“

“We came in with a group of special needs adults and one with a severe health issue they took the health issue very serious and went out of their way to make sure this persons food was never near any other food.

“The food amazing staff so helpful“

“Simply excellent. I cannot emphaize enough how good this place is.

The food we got was excellent, all of the staff were so friendly and it is just enjoyable.

Is it expensive? Yes. But it is more than worth the price.“

“Had a wonderful dinner celebrating a friend’s birthday. Great service, excellent food. Just wish it wasn’t so loud and they had more parking.“

“We absolutely love this place. They have good pizza, the absolute best chicken wings, and great adult beverage specials daily. The atmosphere is cozy and casual. It's incredibly kid-friendly; one of the few places I feel my children can actually be themselves at. But the best part of the place is the service and staff. it begins with a fantastic manager, PJ. He always makes sure every customer is satisfied, and is incredibly dedicated to supporting local schools and the community. Our two favorite servers are Gavin, and Jess. They are incredibly prompt, kind, and accommodating. My favorite thing is how they treat my children. They always make them feel happy and comfortable, which makes our night stress-free. Little Italian is also the best place to go for large parties and group gathering. They are incredibly accommodating, and can almost always offer you the space, even on relatively short notice. Once the bartender was our server, and delivered the same extraordinary customer experience, also paying special attention to my children, making our night fantastic and stress free.“

“Consistently great pizza we have been ordering from here for years. Several out of town family members always request we order from Little Italian when they’re in town too.“

“Started ordering from here and I have to say the meatball sandwich is fantastic. The pizza is very good as well. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!!“

“Excellent Burgers & their pizza is the bomb diggity! I was pleasantly surprised, because I'm a pizza snob. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Carol was outstanding! She handled our party of 14 with total ease. She checked back at the perfect times for refills and more pizza, and her friendly personality made her feel like part of our group — she fit right in at our table.
She stayed on top of salads and timed everything perfectly before the pizzas came out. I would absolutely request her as our server the next time we visit. She carefully packed all the leftovers so several people could take some home, and she closed everything out with a warm smile and sincere thanks for coming.
Honestly, it was her who deserved the thanks. Outstanding job!“
