The restaurant was very industrial looking with a touch of Tuscan charm! We got bread for the table which was a nice touch! Although this restaurant has a smaller menu, I ordered a pasta dish with a side meatball which was very tasty! I felt that the sauce was a little light though, and could have had a little bit more flavor, otherwise it was a really good dish! The meatball was delicious though! The service was really quick and we had a really sweet waitress who was attentive of all our needs! This is a cute little place in Lewiston if you're looking for a cool Italian restaurant!

We had a reservation on a Wednesday night at 5pm, but would have preferred 6pm. There were no other…read morereservations available that day until 7:30pm, yet the restaurant was about half empty the entirety of our meal (just about until 7:30), so I'm kinda confused about how they run their reservations; that being said, it was nice to not be packed in and have the restaurant be super loud. Our service started out great and was attentive, but after we got our main dishes the server was nowhere to be found. That is where the one star was lost on this review. Now on to the food itself. To start off the meal, we were brought complimentary focaccia with red sauce that was served warm and was quite tasty. My one friend and I quickly devoured it. For apps, we ordered calamari and a burrata plate. The calamari was perfectly, lightly battered and not super greasy. It came on a bed of arugula with the same yummy sauce that was served with the focaccia. The sizeable piece of burrata (drizzled with balsamic glaze) came with fresh strawberries, prosciutto, candied walnuts and crostini (which came on a separate plate since my one friend is gf). It was definitely a good amount of food for the price ($16). For main dishes, we ordered the Branzino, Chef's Special Risotto (red wine braised short rib on this day) and GF spaghetti pomodoro. We all enjoyed our dinners. The risotto being the most loved. I found the branzino to be a little dry/not super flaky; but, as I have never had branzino before, I don't know if that was just because of the type of fish it is. It still had a good flavor.

My friend and I drove from Rochester to Lewiston for an evening at Artpark and were looking forward…read moreto a wonderful Italian dinner before the concert. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had. The restaurant describes itself as a "rustic Italian eatery." Rustic can be charming, but in this case it felt more outdated than authentic. The dining room was very dark, and although I'd reserved an early table because the only available reservation times were 5:00 or 7:45, we arrived to find many empty tables. I never judge a restaurant by its décor alone. Some of the best Italian meals I've had have come from the most unassuming little places. Sadly, the food here never lived up to the promise. We were served two small slices of baguette that were so dry and stale they crumbled apart with the slightest touch. I honestly thought the crumbs on top were grated cheese at first. For an appetizer, we ordered the Panelle because neither of us had ever tried them before. The chickpea fritters were topped with a dollop of ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and what amounted to a single strand of lemon zest. Unfortunately, they were extremely bland and left neither of us wanting to order them again. Our entrées were close to $30 each. I ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana, and my friend had the Chicken Scaloppine. The eggplant was heartbreaking. There were only two layers, and they had broken down into a mushy texture that barely resembled eggplant. Had the skin not still been attached, I honestly wouldn't have known what I was eating. It came with a side of spaghetti that was dramatically overcooked, and the tomato sauce tasted flat and one-dimensional. As someone who is 100% Sicilian and has enjoyed Italian cooking my entire life, I found the sauce particularly disappointing. I couldn't finish it. My friend's Chicken Scaloppine looked attractive on the plate, and the chicken itself was tender, but the dish had almost no flavor. By the time dinner was over, our bill exceeded $110 before the concert had even begun. We left feeling disappointed that what should have been the highlight of our evening became its biggest letdown. Lewiston itself is absolutely charming, and it's easy to see why people travel from both the U.S. and Canada to visit this beautiful town. I only wish our dinner had matched the setting. Based on our experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. There are too many wonderful Italian restaurants in Western New York to spend your money here.

Pretty gorgeous little town which is near Niagara Falls and St. Catharines and right next to Niagara on the Lake. There's a famous bridge in this town, named after the town, that goes across to the United States, connecting Queenston to what is basically the same town right across the river called Lewiston NY USA. I personally prefer Queenston for various reasons and after all, it is Canadian, and you should come and check it out - especially the beautiful views of the Niagara Gorge. When across the bridge in Lewiston, try Hibbard's amazing custard.
