• Steakhouse • Buffalo
Booked 36 times today
Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

    We shared our dinner and the pistachio lasagna was very dry and overly cheesy. The scallop and risotto dish with saffron was good, however we didn’t expect the scallops to be cut into small pieces but overall it was tasty.

    Love the Christmas decorations! The lemon drop martini was excellent. I had the beet salad, probably one of the best I have ever had and I had the rigatoni, it was delicious. Their red sauce is delicious. My dad had a glass of red wine, which he loved and he had chicken parm, it was excellent. Big portions!

    First of all, it’s a lovely setting and we like visiting Patrick’s rooftop bar. The hostess greeted us and was extremely friendly. Unfortunately, we found out that the table we had booked didn’t really exist and they weren’t serving as all their tables were outside. Though they told us we could get food at the bar, They were kind enough to turn the outdoor fireplaces on for us. The service was great and friendly. Drinks were good. The location is extremely nice.
