- JJanelleUpstate New York •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoLast night was my husband's and my first time ever going to this restaurant and in my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Buffalo we have been to. It is our Anniversary and we had Victoria (Tori) for our server and she was so knowledgeable of the menu. I am Gluten Intolerant and she knew right away what I could indulge in and what was off limits. She had the specials memorized like a boss and was so attentive. The steak was cooked to perfection and the lobster risotto was delicious. The Limencello Margarita was the best margarita I have ever had, and I love tequila and margaritas! They have little biography cards on your table about your server, which I think is a great touch. I can't wait to come back to Buffalo and come back to Giancarlo's and request Tori!More infoGiancarlo'sPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Buffalo•4.8
- JJanWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOur family and I were visiting from Michigan, USA and thought we would try this restaurant. What an amazing experience we had! From the moment we entered the black curtained restaurant we knew we were going to have an amazing time. The gentleman who ushered into the bar area while we waited for our table to be ready (we were the second seating) was lovely. He sat us at the bar and we ordered our drinks from the barman who with genuine interest all about the local wines around Niagara-On-The-Lake. So much so, that when we ordered our bottle of wine for dinner, he came over after our lovely waitress told him our orders, to confirm that the bottle of Syrah would be a perfect pairing. The beef tartare, scallops, seared pork were incredible! Desserts were no less than perfect. For anyone who wants a memorable experience in a restaurant with the bar, wait staff and chefs thoroughly committed to making your dinner perfect, I highly suggest they try Treadwell Cuisine.More infoTreadwell CuisinePrice: Very Expensive• Canadian• Niagara-on-the-Lake•4.8

- TTerenceToronto / Ontario •6 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Dec 2024Drove through a storm to make it for our reservation and it was worth it! Came for that chicken parm you see all over social media. The chicken was so tender and moist and the it was topped with so much gooey cheese. It did not disappoint! My second favorite thing was the meatballs in the Italian Wedding soup. It was such a surprise biting into one. The most tender meatballs I've ever had. And the pasta in the soup was al dente. Calamari was very good but If they tweaked the breading I think it could be better as it would fall off as you are picking it up with a fork. The sauce is very unique and delicious. Half spicy arrabbiata and half cooling parm. The carbonara was a bit on the salty side but the sauce was super creamy and had a good amount of meat. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food comes out pretty quick and it's very high quality. We're already planning to come back for that amazing parm again and to try some other dishes. Thank you for the amazing experience!More infoRizzo's House of ParmPrice: Moderate• Italian• Fort Erie•4.8
