50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lewiston

“Excellent meal enjoyed tonight at Carmelo’. Highly recommend the Malfadine pasta with braised rib ragu! A glass of John Phelps red Cabernet and Carmelo’s salad! Perfect meal.“

“The restaurant was able to accommodate us with a reservation on a busy Friday night during the jazz festival. They were well staffed and the service was great. We ordered a combination of appetizer, salad, and entrée to share. They provided an assortment of complimentary bread with an olive dip that was exceptional. The food was well cooked and full of flavor. The wine list had a fine selection and we both enjoyed our choice. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would love to return in the future!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Napoli in Niagara Falls never disappoints. I've come back more than once because the food is always incredible — fresh, flavourful, and truly authentic. I drove in from Toronto again, and it was absolutely worth it. The staff are warm, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcomed. Consistently a great experience. Highly recommend!“

“Hidden gem restaurant in Niagara Falls - the menu is simple but done well. We walked in about 30 mins before closing with 2 small kids and the owner welcomed us like family, gave our kids cookies while we got settled and ordered. They were so accommodating of our family. The food was delicious and service was unobstructive and helpful.
Cash only, but there is an ATM inside.“

“Late Night Stop After a Long Drive – Still Great Food\n\nWe drove six hours from Ottawa for a Buffalo Bills game and by the time we arrived in Buffalo it was around 9:30 p.m. We decided to eat at Olive Garden, as I remembered it fondly from when there used to be one in Ottawa.\n\nEven though the restaurant was closing soon, the staff were kind enough to let us in, which we really appreciated. We ordered dinner and enjoyed fresh breadsticks right away. The salad was a bit disappointing—it came in a bowl that was only about a quarter full, and they had run out of cheese. But once our entrées arrived, everything was back to the Olive Garden quality I remembered. My son had the Tortellini Chicken Pasta and I had the Chicken Alfredo, and both were delicious.\n\nI paired my meal with a Blue Moon Belgian beer, which was a nice touch. The bill came to $77 for the two of us with tip, which felt a bit pricey, but that’s the reality of today’s inflation.\n\nOverall, the experience was positive—good food, friendly staff, and they didn’t turn us away even though it was late. That made our long drive end on a high note.“

“We celebrated my birthday at Ponte Vecchio in Niagara Falls with a group of seven family members, and it was absolutely wonderful. The food was truly on point, authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server, Irene, went above and beyond to make the evening special. Her service was warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel completely taken care of. A perfect spot for a memorable family celebration. Highly recommend!“

Definitely worth stopping by here if you are in the area because the food did not disappoint as someone who is a very picky eater. Quality of food was amazing would come back in a heart beat. Yum!“

“My friends and I ordered for Jerk chicken Roti and Curry chicken Roti to check try both. I loved it, when we got there my friends were skeptical because of the size of the restaurant and I told them places like this make the best meal. They sure delivered.“

“Was at zappis on Saturday September 6th with my husband and son. My husband and I eat at zappi's every March and October as we run a marriage program and usually have 10 people at dinner and have never had an issue with food or service. Yesterday however service was great but when I received my calzone, it had red peppers in it which I didn't order. So the waitress took it back and had another one made for me and gave me 50% off. I did order another one for takeout and as I went to eat it today for dinner, It has green mushrooms in it, which I cannot eat as it affects my stomach. I was so looking forward to my calzone and now I am disappointed I cannot eat it.“

“Authentic Napoli pizza near the tourist strip in Niagara. It doesn’t look fancy from the outside, but the food was delicious. Waitress was very friendly.
My partner and I shared bruschetta and a pizza and we were very satisfied.
A great spot, especially for those looking to avoid the chains.“

“We had a bad experience with the quality of food awhile back but so glad that didn’t deter us from trying again. The food has always been amazing since then. Big portions. The customer service is always good. They make you feel welcomed and so appreciative of your business. They are always our “go to” for pizza and wings. I highly recommend their place for excellent food and atmosphere.“

“This place was so good we went back a second time while on vacation! Great food and service!! 10/10….not sure how people can give this place a bad review. Both times we were there it was nothing but A class service and top notch pizza! I highly recommend.“

“See photos. Massimo's ghosted me. And Massimo finds this acceptable... Email to Massimo: "Good day. I'd like to bring to your attention how management is running your restaurant in Niagara Falls. My wife and I went on New Year's Eve. Please see the below email exchange. Your management has ghosted me. January 3: "Good Evening Navarre, Thank you for allowing me the time to look into the issues that you identified in your email. I have spoke with the relevant persons and have fed back your concerns to the appropriate individuals. Opentable should have made the 18% gratuity very clear and it shouldn't have been a surprise for you on the evening. I apologize that this wasn't clear. I also apologize that your wife didn't receive a dessert and that we failed to make the provisions that we had agreed to. ... Regards Terry Terry Page Assistant Food & Beverage Manager Massimo's Italian Fallsview Restaurant" January 10: "Good evening Terry. You proposed a partial refund and would have an answer after this past Wednesday. I'd like this to be rectified..."

“I love Leon’s but trying to look at your menu is horrendous. I’m willing to bet that you lose business. I’m not creating a login to order a pizza. I just order from other places instead.“

“Lovely Italian restaurant within Seneca Niagara Casino.

The server was very friendly and pleasant.

The shrimp cocktail only had 4 butterflied shrimp with a salad (that we didn’t really care for).

The food was good. The Chicken Parm was crispy on the outside & tender on the inside.

The evenings feature was Penne. Alla Vodka. It was tasty but not as creamy as I’m accustomed to.“

“Fantastic service, our server Lidia was exceptionally helpful, pleasant and alway had a smile I’ll be back 🥂“

“We experienced this beautiful restaurant twice on a recent trip. Melissa and Steve were our servers. They’re professionals and super friendly with great attention. The food is good and portions are shareable. What a floral treat and live music was fantastic.“

“I don't know where to start with Mr. Ventrys. It was great on Pierce Avenue, when it was both locations, and it's still going strong solely on The Blvd. I have RARELY encountered a restaurant that is consistent EVERY SINGLE TIME. You crave what you got the last three times? It will be JUST AS GOOD the fourth time you order it. Consistency is so important when running a business; It shouldn't depend on who is working that day, what mood the cook is in, etc... This is how you do it. Serve amazing food, exactly as ordered, every time. I have never been disappointed by Mr. Ventrys, and I had to write a positive review. Thank you!“

“Pizza and wings were so good, giving 4 stars only because the hours are bad.“

“Cala and Emily were amazing!!!“

“Just wanted to let you know that lunch was delicious on August 10th! Ordered pasta al forno, chicken cutlets, sausage with onion and peppers, roast potatoes and salad. Everything was so good and there was almost no food left. Thank you so much for the great service and you will definitely hear from me again!“

“Usual staff. Ok. Fish and chips ok. Tea very good,large pot. Nice place. Wish they still had peach soup.“

“Everything in a good bite of pizza should be balanced. The sauce shouldn't overpower the cheese and vice versa, the crust-to-sauce ratio should be even, and the choice of toppings should work fine together. It's not very often for someone to refuse a good slice of pizza, especially if it fits the general criteria.?“

“whoever made my order tonight it was absolutely delicious!! thank you!!“

“Me and my family always go to mick and Angelo’s it’s so close to our house and the food is amazing! Love it, and would recommend to tourists and locals.“

“Pizza deli deliciosa muy recomendable“
