    The seat was sticky as well as the table. The place was terrible, the food wasn’t good, no presentation with the sandwiches and ciabatta was not real ciabatta no side dish with the sandwiches, the Alfredo pasta was watery & tasteless!!!, the order took over 30-40mins to get to to our table. Will NEVER return to this place & will definitely warn people not to go to there.

    We decided to stop by here as it was near to our hotel and definitely did not regret the choice! The staff were all very nice and friendly and the wait time for our pizza was pretty short. We got the Prosciutto and Arugula pizza to share as we weren’t too hungry and it was very tasty. This is a great late night stop option!

    Understaffed restaurant that did not have the capacity to take care of its guests on a Saturday evening. There were only 2 chefs and 1 waitress for probably 15-20 patrons. Service was show, pizza was very salty, pasta was flavourless, salad had a hair in it, coleslaw was metallic, sauce for pizza wings tasted expired. It's not a bad place for drinks, but the food here is terrible. Management needs to step up their game.

    Staff is amazing. A locals style bar that will treat you like a regular as an out of towner (as long as your vibe is right). Great music. Cheap drinks. Cash only so prepare yourself.

    Good band, drinks and location. It was dead for a Saturday night. Maybe 14 people at the height of it

    Adrianna is amazing at her job. By far the best bartender here. The other guys are okay but get very distracted. Glad Adrianna helped with everything! Thank you Adrianna. Us buffalo people will be back soon. I also liked that our group was all LGBT and didn't feel judged at all.

    Had a great time here last Saturday. Jammr was the band and they were awesome. We had the pizza for dinner kitchen just closed (9pm), but they were able to fit us in. Awesome bartender and good vibe here. Thanks!!

    We stopped earlier in the day and had a great time. The older woman working was great and convinced us to come back later. Big mistake. 3 bartenders and getting a drink was not happening for a crowd of 20 people. While waiting for a drink I watched two bartenders do two shots each while ignoring us. We got fed up and left, went to the place next door and one of the bartenders was there doing shots. Atmosphere was nice but the service is not.

    This is an excellent place to visit if you find yourself in the tourist district. The food is rather good, and service is always quick. Whether for a sit down meal or a few drinks, Spicy doesn't disappoint. Night's here are always fun, they bring in really good bands and DJ's, and I haven't had a single poor experience. Great group of people in there, definitely worth checking out.

    Food was amazing, service a little slow but overall the waiting was worth it. Kids and adults enjoy every dish we ate.,

    Excellent late night vibe, music and entertainment on Thurs Fri Sat. Some of the Regions best bands and DJs always ensure a fun time.

    One of the best places in Niagara Falls to enjoy a drink and just relax and do some people watching at the amazing diversity of tourists and locals visiting that area. The staff are wonderful and the owner is friendly as well.

    Nice Italian restaurant just off the main strip on Centre street. Pizza was great, with authentic Italian crust. Staff was very friendly.

  • 1/5 Sarah C. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm honestly disappointed with my experience here seeing as most of the reviews are good. Went with my parents and 2 kids. We waited an hour for food to arrive on a night where there were only 3 other tables (so 4 in total) and 2 tables who walked in after us were served before us, even got the bill and left before we got our food. Both me and my mother ordered the penne alla vodka with sautéed prosciutto and red sweet onions and both of our dishes came with NO prosciutto and NO onions and the sauce was maybe average if not below. So so so disappointed. Will not be wasting my time or money here ever again.

    Pizza was low-quality and tasted like it was either old or frozen for a long time then recently microwaved. Salad was very bad too, and it took them 45 minutes to make a tiny pepperoni pizza. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

  • 1/5 Terry C. 2 years ago on Google
    I would not recommend this place. The fact that it was empty at lunch time should have been a clue. The pannini was actually a dry sub, with half the advertised cold cuts. The battered fish had a coating that one would find on a chicken ball, hiding a tiny piece of dry fish. Ceasar salad had bottled dressing and no garnish. Not going back any time soon.

    Amazing food &service! The charcuterie board was delicious and the pizza was one of the best i've ever had. It's only steps away from Clifton hill &deserves much more attention.

  • 5/5 Barbara l. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice to have quality food during the covid19 pandemic. Enjoyed a night off of cooking with some delicious pizza and home-made gnocchi from their take out. My little way of saying 'salute' since seeing in media this owner donated food to our essential , front-line workers. It's obvious they put the love into their dishes. Thank you!

    Tasty pasta and pizza but the calamari was a bit salty. We should have tried their nachos instead as an appetizer. At the time of our visit, our server was really great and was attending to us diligently.
