About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Fancy
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 came to Giancarlo’s with my family. In town to attend accepted students day at University of Buffalo. The oysters were great. The pizza was delicious. The Caesar Salad was one of the best we ever had. We ordered the 32 oz bone in ribeye to share for 4 of us. Cooked medium rare perfectly and sliced for us to share. The steak was $89 and for that money we were expecting a top quality steak. This steak was chewy and grisly. Our family had to spit out many pieces it was not able to be chewed. I am not one of those people to complain and send it back. We just quietly sent it back uneaten and I was so embarrassed. I had high expectations exotically for the cost. My son’s girlfriend had been here before and had filet and said it was the best steak she ever had So we will not come back. The service was impeccable and the Au gratin was delicious.
    Giancarlo'sResponded on 4 March 2025
    Thanks for visiting us, Pauline. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our oysters, pizza, and caesar salad but very disappointed to hear about the ribeye. We take pride in our quality of steak so it is very disappointing to hear about your experience with our ribeye. We will review this with our head chef and suppliers to ensure we are only getting the best cuts available. We're glad to hear that you found our service impeccable and the au gratin delicious. We understand your disappointment and just sent you a gift to your phone in hopes that you'll reconsider returning in the future. We'd love to have you with us again. - Giancarlo's Management Team

    Food and service was excellent. Was a tad dark where we were seated. Had to use phone light to read menu.

    This was our second time visiting and we brought two friends who had never been. None of us were disappointed. Three of us had filets and the fourth had the crab crusted salmon. Dessert was on point too. Will be back again.

    Thanks for the feedback, Joseph! We are thrilled you and your guests enjoyed the filets and crab crusted salmon. Your kind words mean a lot to us. See you again soon!
