The food is fantastic, the staff is on it and incredible, the chef is magical, and the charm is through the roof. Definitely check this place out! Had a dinner with my uncle and grandfather, we had a blast.

First it was hard to get into... Then the bathroom was flooded... and then the food was tasteless... Tomato soup on pasta.

The food was great. We could tell the food was freshly made not from a package. The dining room was cozy and you can see the kitchen and see the chef preparing the meals. The waiter was super friendly. My sister and I enjoyed it so much we visited a second time but we got it to go and the food was still good but would recommend eating at the restaurant.

Great cheese and raviolis with meatballs, best raviolis in town. The chef even came to the table and asked if everything was okay and everything was excellent the waitress was very polite and kind the place reminds me of Little Italy. Friendly with soft Italian music and great wine what a place to go and relax and have great food I rate this place 10 Stars. People should go and try this place out you would really like it they have all kinds of food and they will cater to anything you need or want. I'll be coming back again and again. Never thought there would be a restaurant like this in Niagara Falls the best.

Hands down the best restaurant we found during our stay in Niagara. Highly recommended, though it is very small so either get there early or expect to wait a while.

It is a small place, but it's really good!No hesitation on recommending. Just go there for dinner.You'll love the bruschetta. The calamari melts in your mouth. Spaghetti with white clam sauce. Shrimp diavolo great. I doubt that anything tastes bad here!

An odd, sparse little restaurant (4 stars) with absolutely delicious food (10 stars!). The service was great and the pasta simply superb. The chef made me Penne Alfredo...the best I've ever had. Warm crusty bread, a lovely green salad. (A few candles on the tables, some wall decor and maybe a couple of hanging plants would be a great addition. But even if the decor never changes, I can't wait to go back!) If the food is more important than the setting (which is always our goal), you definitely need to visit this restaurant!

So. It's like walking into your neighbor's house with seating for 15 and they cook to order especially for you. Fresh, delicious and the cook knows what he is doing. A "dive" that has ridiculous food at a reasonable price. Can't tell a book by its cover. Wow!

Stale food, looks absolutely nothing like the photos here. The put chopped tomatoes on cold bread and called it Bruschetta. Margherita was terrible, plus there was hair in the food. McDonalds would be a much better choice than this place

Small place but the food is very good and the server was very good. Read the sign and sit in the hallway until they are ready to seat you. The food is worth the inadequate facility. Enjoy

Very small, quaint place. When we arrived there was 4 workers... Including the chef. At one moment in time we found ourselves, only customers, by ourselves in the restaurant! Yet, the 4 employees worked very hard to please us and food was very good! Although they have to do things manually unlike regular restaurants that have machines, they did get us our check asap!

The happy little surprise that was Villella's is where I had my fantastic dining experience. It's within healthy walking distance of the falls. I walked in, middle of the afternoon, to an empty quaint dining room. The evite kitchen is visible from the dining room, and one man was running the entire place. I had a Labatt Blue with Chicken Parmesan. It was very very very good. This was July of 2016. Our chef/server at the time told us he was planning to buy the place and take it over. Today, this place is called La Cucina Di Mamma.

We arrived around 730pm. The host "Joe" was friendly and very attentive. The food was EXCELLENT, PERIOD. The flavor was spot on and the protein wasn't overcooked. The jumbo shrimp with spaghetti in tomato sauce was excellent. My lady had the chicken fantasia and that was great as well. The food looked so good, I didn't even want to eat it. "Joe" made us a concoction of pistachio, strawberry and chocolate ice cream that was "to die for". WOW. My legs are doing the happy dance under the table. This is definitely a place that will quench your hungry and the Luciano Pavaratti playing in the background is a nice touch.

This is a small place with limited seating, but it is comfortable, clean, and well-kept. The host was extremely friendly and attentive, and it was clear that he wanted everyone to have a wonderful time. We were pleased that our meals started with bread and a salad of mixed greens. I enjoyed the spaghetti with meatballs, with fresh leaves of basil. The noodles were hot and the meatballs were fresh and tender. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Went for mine and a friends thirtieth birthday. We came from Ohio. Glad we found the place. Food was absolutely delicious and service was good. Wait was a bit longer than expected due to lack of staff, but would absolutely go again! Service was still great and love that it is locally owned and operated. Genuine Italian cuisine.

I'm 63 years old and my wife and I have visited many restaurants across the globe but this one took the cake. It all started with a single server for the entire restaurant yes the entire restaurant it was both rude abrupt ignorant and insulting. We had not been to Niagara Falls and over 40 years and heard of this place please do not go to this restaurant, we stayed around the corner n a hotel near the casino. The delivery of the food the quantity which was Tiny and the delivery of the check itself I cannot explain entirely ...here. buyer beware the reviews for this place should be unacceptable, should the restaurant want to have us back for a free meal I would reject that offer entirely, buyer beware ... regards

Small quaint restaurant but as we were telling patrons who were waiting for a table, it's worth the wait!Appetizer selected was the calamari. Fried crisp and tender with a great marinara sauce for dipping. Not a single piece was rubbery which means they know how to cook it. Perfection!Salad was a variety of fresh baby greens, red onions and grape tomatoes in what must of been their house dressing. Fantastic flavor!Bread basket consisted of hot fresh Italian bread.Main course was spaghetti and meatballs in a marinara sauce. Two large meatballs with absolutely delicious seasonings in a big bowl of spaghetti. Too much for one person and looking forward to leftovers.Ambience was cute - a record player played Dean Martin albums.Wait staff attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend this place!

I'm staying at the hotel so this is the 2nd time this week I've had the pleasure of Angelo's service and cooking. Tonight he made me a picata with shrimp off menu because I don't eat meat or fowl. It was I N C R E D I B L E! Bonus: he hooked my service dog up with a meat ball doggie bag. EAT HERE. SERIOUSLY.

Tried to call for reservations and they have no phone! So 12 of us walked down! After seeing it only sat 18 n the whole place we weren't discouraged we ask to be seated! After waiting for them to set up (10 or 15) mins, they sit us down and then tell us "where out of chicken" HALF THE DAM MENU IS CHICKEN! ITS SEEMED LIKE THEY DIDNT WANT OUR BUSINESS! No sorry we're not white!
