Please recommend a non-touristy Japanese or Italian restaurant in Niagara Falls area.?

Question

Since I'll be on a road trip, I don't want to have to dress up to dine. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

East side marios

Answer 2

CArpaccio was our best bet last summer.. It is on Lundy's Lane, but a little far off MAin Street if you are walking.  Food was excellent nad wine list was terrific.. still, my daughter was not out of place.  (although I spent a little more than if I had taken her to a pizza joint)  It was worth it.

Avoid at all costs:  Mick & Angelo's, which will boast that it has won every tourist award in the book.  I assume these are very touristy, beer-swelling people who voted for them.  (who are satisified with mediocre food and a room full of tourists)This place is also on Lundy's, but one look at hte outside will tell you to keep driving if you are looking for peace.

Answer 3

A nice drive north of the falls is the small town of Niagara on the lake.  Down by the marina is a nice Italian place called the Anchorage.  Low key and comfortable.  The food and service was really good.

Answer 4

Only one japanese restaurant in Niagara, Taki on Victoria Avenue.

Nicest Italian would be Casa Mia Italian on Portage Rd.

Have fun on your road trip.
