    We had just gotten into town after a beautiful day in Niagara Falls and had worked up quite the appetite. Our server Shannon was second to none! Shannon guided us through the menu and even provided tips on some local attractions. The Rissotto Sticks were unlike anything we had tried before. The Pork Gnocchi was like pork resting on pillows!

    Owner Nick Pitillo greeted us with a smile and a hug before we even got to the door. As usual, the vibe inside was electric. We ran into some friends and chatted a bit before heading to our cozy table. Mirinda, our server, is a true professional. She was excellent: knowledgeable, upbeat and fun, attentive but not intrusive. Our appetizer (a stuffed pepper with risotto) and our entrees (Fra Diavolo and chix parm) were wonderful. We left full and happy. Love the O166!

    Disappointed that the great lunch menu is now limited to a sandwich and meatballs for the main entree portion of the combo. The pastas really enhanced the menu.

    Left before eating. We waited at our table for 10 minutes and was not approached by wait-staff. Unable to hold a conversation in this establishment because noise from other patrons was excessive (hearing protection required for this level of noise).
