Strada West in Niagara Falls

This place makes the best cheesecake and burgers in Niagara Falls.

Worst pasta and bruschetta we have ever tasted! Pizza was still ok. Ravioli pasta tasted like it was undercooked. Completely unworthy at the the price they are charging.

Loved the special of the day; braised beef ribs with mushroom risotto! Great waitress, too

Atmosphere is fine.. Pasta is mediocre. Pizza was terrible

It is an excellent place, prompt service and the food was great. It was a bit loud on the Friday evening but the food and ambience was on point!! Loved it. Will go back!

So disappointing, Seafood Rissoto way over cooked, premade and reheated, they allowed some seafood to walk through, no flavor, texture like gruel. Mussels were clearly frozen and not fresh, hair in the Caprese salad, not once did the server inquire how the food was, too busy going next door for ice cream for her and another server. Save your money this place wont be around much longer as they attempt to pass themselves off as an Italian restaurant.

Very tasty freshly prepared salad. Friendly service.

Very good food. Our server was efficient and friendly. Music was a little too loud.

Great restaurant! Great food! The zucchini strips are a must have. Youll be pleasantly surprised. Excellent portion sizes. Great service. Overall, a really good experience and will definitely recommend and return. Parking: Plenty of free parking available

Great food. Fresh and authentic. Strongly recommend the seafood risotto and the Veal parm. Make sure you leave room for dessert. Best cheesecake in town. Thanks Tori for the great service Food : 5/5

Oof amazing. Their smoothies are acc rly good.

Very good service and excellent food

Excellent food and services. I am glad I found this place during my vacation Vegetarian options: Very innovative and tasty veg options. We tried vegetarian pizza, which was delicious Food : 5/5 |

Really liked the charcuterie platter and arancini. We all shared! The cheesecake is epic!

Great Ambience, Music and Delicious Food.

Perfect day for some patio dining. The service was excellent as well as the food!!

Service Awesome, always have the Large Bowl of Greens and Beans with Sausage. Delicious. Everything I have tried has been Great.

Slow service but friendly at least. Just ok tasting food. Definitely not authentic Italian food, the tomato sauce on the mussels was not good (must be canned, premade). Crab ravioli was bland and soggy. Strada West needs to step it up big time in my opinion. My friends have had similar experiences too.

Highly recommend this place. Food and drinks were amazing. Cheesecake was out of this world. Dietary restrictions: My daughter is GF and they offered options for her Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available and nice portions Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility for all to enter and exit the restaurant

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our dining experience at Strada West! We were a group of 8, 4 adults and 4 children, and everyone was extremely satisfied with their portion size, and food quality. I had the Veal Francesca, and Im dreaming about the day I get to eat it again! And just when you think youre too full to consider dessert, you get pulled in by the tempting cheesecake menu! WOWZA the most decadent cheesecake Ive ever experienced! This is definitely a spot you do not want to pass when visiting Niagara! Kid-friendliness: Fantastic kids menu, including Gluten-friendly options!

Kinda sad. Went in here to the bar to have a drink and waited 5 minutes. No one came to our table so we left. Had the tourist/ high school prom spot vibe

Nice place, Id go back for sure.

Good food and service. The salmon was terrific.

Very dissapointed with our dinner meal. Ordered seafood linguini, and the seafood with rice. Very chewy, the orzo was mooshy. Price didnt match quality. Dissapointed in the lack of customer service as tried reaching out to manager/owner.

Was looking for a good Italian restaurant while in the falls visiting my mothers grave sight, with family from out of country. This restaurant came up in my google search. Such a classy restaurant as well as a warm welcome. Service was amazing and on point, and the food was exceptional; from the taste to the presentation. Thank you for making my family get together one to remember! We will 100% be returning very soon ( I ordered the carbonara)

Found this amazing place searching for wood oven pizza and what a find! Food was excellent. Delicious, high quality and generous portions. Pizza sauce, red wine vinaigrette are house made and very good. Staff are super friendly and professional.

Great service, delicious food and reasonable prices!

Great food and service. Just a little too noisy! But worth it. Food

I came here 5 years ago and had to come back because I remembered the food was so good. We had a great waitress and the food was as delicious as I remembered. The wine was very tasty. Kind of casual atmosphere. Cheesecake is great. Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is great. My kid really liked the spaghetti and meatball.

My turn to choose the restaurant and of course Strada West they have the best veal parmesan ever great staff ,great food ,great atmosphere

Great food!!!

One of the most tasteless pizzas Ive had. Odd since it looked decent, and had what seemed decent topics - but dough was tasteless, and so was the meat like substance on it. Looked like a pizza, but tasted more like wet cardboard. Youd expect more for a place presenting itself as Italian and $26 for the pizza. Had a salad too - that wasnt bad, but too much $ for it. Understaffed too, odd walking in and waiting for quite a while for someone to show up; I asked for water with lemon no ice - got ice no lemon. Its the little things too that count when you dont have the food worth having. Wont be back.

My favorite burger in niagara! So good and great service!

Dinner was delicious, stuffed mushrooms, meatballs and veal parmigiana, server was amazing who seemed alone then a party of 10-12 came in, she was awesome and very attentive will be back

Crab ravioli was horrible. Service and atmosphere was good. Fried zucchini was okay but they left the 1 inch of the end in there which was weird..

Stuffed mushrooms were fantastic along with the smoked old fashion The seafood risotto was bad, they used the wrong rice and it was over cooked with no flavor. Service was good Very noisy atmosphere

Ordered veal parmesan. Big mistake! It was the worst veal ever. Tasted like frozen patty you can buy in a box at your local grocery store. For $32, I would expect fresh veal. Terrible meal.

Great food! Service was excellent.

One of my favourite local spots! Delicious food and reasonably priced, I love the breaded eggplant sandwich!

Little loud

Our service was horrible. Very very slow. Our server rarely came to check on us. Never once asked how our meal was. My husband ordered a drink and it never came. A table of 6 sat down at the same time as our table of 5 and a table of two came after us. Both tables were finished their meals before we even got our food! Nearly everyone at our table had an empty glass and our server was in the kitchen talking. We made eye contact from across the room twice and she ignored me. You d think if the food was going to take 40 minutes to come, she d be doing everything to keep us happy in the drinks department. Terrible.

The waitresses were very helpful and kind. The food was average Food

We enjoy the food, however this is the 2nd time we have gone and have had hair in our food. More than one. The manager took care of the bill (whichvI was willing to pay). Nice gesture but clearly food handling is an issue here and for that reason we wont be back. Food

In our view, this is the best restaurant/bar in Niagara Falls (I am not including the wineries or Niagara-on-the-Lake.) We live a walk away and so visit a few times a year, most recently New Years Eve 2023. The staff are uniformly excellent and there seems to be little turnover. (These are not minimum wage people!) The food ( fish, pasta, risotto!!!) is terrific. We usually go early to enjoy a glass of wine in the lovely bar. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent service, fabulous food, and great quiet ambiance!

They had a decent amount of options and everything tasted great, would return again soon.

Stopped here on a whim before starting the drive back to Toronto... very glad to have done so. The food was excellent and the service was friendly. Ill be back next time Im in the region.

The best Italian Restaurant! Food is flavourful and cooked to perfection! They also offer a gluten free bun!

A very nice restaurant, nice food, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere. Ill definitely go back again when I visit Niagara falls next time! Parking: Plenty free parking

Very cozy local restaurant and bar , with great food thats taste and affordable! Great service !

Food is 3/5, service is not good. Found a bug in my iced water. Food safety is a concern.

Always fresh and good !!! Salads are yum yum

Came here with a big group, good thing we reserved ahead of time since it was pretty busy. Their pasta, pizza, fried zucchini and calamari was delicious. I had red wine risotto with shrimp, asparagus, and beef. Big portions and really good. Service was great, staff was nice. Make sure to split the cheesecake dessert with someone since it is pretty big! Great meal and everyone in our party was satisfied.

Came for dinner on a Saturday night. We made reservations ahead of time since we were a large group. Their zucchini crisps was amazing! I had the linguini pascatore and it was delicious and super filling. Also had their strawberry cheesecake that was light in texture and a huge portion. Definitely something to share with more than one person.

We have eaten at Strada West numerous times in the past 10 yrs. This time again, did not disappoint. See you again SW Recommended dishes

The zucchini crisps are amazing

Delicious food - Had the Spaghetti Carbonara very tasty nice size portion, and had Pepperoni Pizza good 9 square slice with a lot of fresh flavours, and dont forget about Strawberry cheesecake for dessert. The service is good. The atmosphere is nice.

Celebrated a birthday here and the cherry cheesecake was amazing! The stuffed mushrooms were recommended and did not disappoint along with the unique zucchini spirals as our apps..delicious! We all enjoyed different pasta dishes, and a burger. The carbonara was perfect with a soft poached egg on top! Friendly service staff. I highly recommend for a small or large gathering.

cheesecake is amazing highly recommend kit kat one is fire

The atmosphere was nice and quiet, service was excellent and the food was great

great experience every time

Seafood linguini, seafood was blaw, tiny scallops , pre frozen shrimp. Not worth 26 bucks. Very loud atmosphere. Service was great. Food : 2/5

Staff is very rude. Lady at reception threw menu on the table. I won t recommend this place to anyone.

We are regulars here. We ve been eating here since their 2012 opening. Unfortunately we had a very bad experience on Friday night. They were busy. We were with our friends and we ordered many appetizers wine beer and entrees. The bill was hefty but we don t mind if the service and food is good. The waitress seemed good at first. The appetizers came out relatively on time except for a Caesar salad that didn t get delivered until well after the entrees were delivered. Three of us ordered cod. The fish came in different sizes. Mine was the smallest. I ordered pasta with garlic and olive oil in place of the risotto. I had requested this previously. Well, our waitress was in-sensed by this request. What I received was plain pasta. When I asked her why I didn t get the pasta I ordered her answer was short and sarcastic. It s too busy in the kitchen etc etc I asked her to make another order the way I wanted it. Again, I was met with sarcasm and attitude. At this point my husband stood up and walked into the kitchen and asked to speak to manager who we knew. Finally, the pasta came as ordered and the waitress had to condescendingly explain that it wasn t her fault. An argument broke out and the waitress ran into the kitchen. The manager came over and did not address the issue. She was more concerned about her waitress than our poor experience. We will not be dining here anymore.

Excellent

Excellent food , great service Our favorite place Food

Amazing food for a great price

Cool place, great dining experience and our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were there for a family dinner and we will certainly go there again.

It seems to be hit and miss on the food quality over the past year. This time the hostess was rude and condecending, waited 20+ minutes for someone to bring drinks and order.

Great staff and great service. Pizza and salads were awesome. Unfortunately, we couldnt do the patio due to air quality issues (asthmatic diners), but next time.

First time going and food was fantastic and the cheese cake was fantastic definitely will be going again quite frequently and would 100 percent recommend this place to everyone Thanks for the great food and service

My best friend and I went for dinner and Ordered an Asian salad, a classic cheese burger and a pepperoni pizza . Even though it was all super amazing I did just want to mention how delicious that salad was. We loved everything and our server was very nice. Food

Burgers here are wicked.

Went for dinner with my older kids and girlfriend. Got the zucchini strips to start!! So good! Then I ordered the spaghetti carbonera!!! My favorite dish! Especially the way the chef makes it here!! Defs worth trying!

First time here and food was excellent.

At a glance the place looks promising with nice decor and interior design. To start we ordered an antipasto, to our amazement there was literally one piece of cold cut for each person, one piece of cheese for each person and one piece of bread each, this after asking the waitress if the antipasto was adequate for 3 people. Not worth $32!!. The provolone burger was ok the bread appeared to be stale nothing to ride home about. My wife ordered the crab ravioli and we were floored when the waitress came out with 4 pieces of ravioli, which tasted like microwaved perrogies. 30 minutes into our 50 minute dinner the waitress refilled our water for the first time, keep in mind it was dead. Our plates from the app weren t taken away until the very end of our dinner. Overall 2/10 star review. Food came quick though.

I liked everything about the places will be returning gonna try the burger next

A nice place to drink and dine. Food was good. More vegan options on the menu would be nicer. I would not suggest it if you are looking for a cozy and private place for a date. Vegetarian options: Not much options for vegetarian food

My first time at strata West totally disappointed. I ordered one of the pasta dishes. There was very little cheese in the cheese shaker, opened it up after I already put cheese on my pasta, and the lid of the cheese white look to me was a thick layer of mold. I brought it up to the waitresses attention, and she shrugged it off and told me oh that s just rust. Needless to say my expensive pasta meal turned my stomach no apologies came from either the waitress or the management totally not recommended

Seat was ripped , both of us got sick after eating the spaghetti sauce

The stuffed mushrooms were delicious, everything else was just ok, but the service and atmosphere was just perfect.

Wanted to eat a little away from the tourist trap area of Niagara Falls, found this place based on Google reviews and took a chance. The food was excellent and the cheesecake was out of this world!

The best seafood risotto and stuffed mushrooms!!

Zucchini crisps are very good. I don t understand the cheesecake hype but overall enjoyed my dining experience.

This is my second time visiting this restaurant. And the food again was good. However I do feel it is over priced.

Good attention Nice place The food not very tasty In general well

Good Italian restaurant.

Homemade delicious. Quality ingredients. Service was top notch with very friendly staff. I recommend this restaurant

Boring dessert choices. Cheesecake, cheesecake and more stinking cheesecake! Try a nice tiramisu or make a date square for christ sake! Otherwise food is excellent.

Most of the dishes are decent, but the risotto is overcooked and unseasoned/bland.

Great food. Ordered the gnocchi and the sauce was delicious. Service was sub par. Not very personable.

Ordered the gnocchi gorgonzola and it was very bland. Sauce was okay but the gnocchi itself was so bland and that is what you taste most of the time while you chew. Ordered the Kit Kat cheesecake thinking there s no way they could mess that up but again it was very bland! It tasted like a block of cream cheese. Very thick cheesecake and very little chocolate or Kit Kat. This place could use a spice cabinet revamp. Very disappointed especially for price.

We had take out few days ago. Portions were small, food was overpriced, my seafood risotto was cold, very disappointing. Not worth the price.

I read the reviews and I was a skeptic as I saw the decor and the vibe but the gnocchi Gorgonzola was not at all what was expected (watered down Alfredo sauce) and bland was an understatement. The chicken parm was overpriced and unfortunately drown in watery pasta which I wish when I asked for a recommendation the burger was pushed more because that is where they get their reviews from. One star for service not value.

Great place to eat at a reasonable price. Food is fresh and service was great. Will definitely return.

Great food...great service!

Get the spaghetti and meatballs (hidden menu item.)

Parking: Not many spots to park, but it was ok during lunch time. Food

Quality was good. Quantity for price not so good. Was quite a wait for the food. Not likely making my return visit list.

My family loves Strada! Kid-friendliness: My very picky son loves the cheese pizza !!! Food : 5/5 |

Seated close to the kitchen. Food was not great. Pasta was under cook. Service was just ok.

Love this place, had the fried zucchini app, it was amazing and salmon for main, also very good! Prices arent bad and quality is great. Cheesecake desserts are some of the best I have had.

Great food, and classy atmosphere. Their patio is small and nice for sitting out on a warmer day. Always look forward to dessert for a piece of cheesecake. Their selection is usually pretty extensive, and portion is large enough to share. Always look forward to going back with family and friends!

Great atmosphere and fantastic food!

First time there but it wont be the last

Great place, great food , great service.

Great risotto cozy setting. :)

Great food highly recommend the place

Great atmosphere good food and friendly staff

Really great experience. Didnt know where I wanted to eat so I gave Strada a try and was not disappointed. Sat at the bar and was greeted by the very friendly bartender. She was attentive to my needs and was very friendly and kind. Great drinks, food, and yes - I absolutely tried the cheesecake and loved it!

My entire family enjoyed the dinner, and the pricing was reasonable for the large portions. Thank you to the talented chefs and the nice server! Also, dont make the mistake of missing out on their cheesecakes, honestly, it was the best cake Id ever tasted!!

Generous portions. Great value. Friendly staff and fast service.

Had the chicken Parm and it was fabulous

Tried for the first time. Was good. Tried chicken Francesca and Alfredo fettuccine. Portions are good. Staff is friendly. Cheesecakes are must try.

I was in town on a quick trip and a friend of mine referred this place to me for dinner I had the Ravioli and I added a couple of meatballs of course my wife had the Fettuccine Alfredo the kids had pizza and spaghetti and meatballs the food was hands down the best I have ever had and I have eaten at alot of restaurants all across Canada and the USA..Beautiful restaurant, the staff was amazing and friendly and I briefly spoke with the owner who also was very friendly and made us feel at home I would give this place 10 stars if I could see you guys when I m back in town again thanks again for a very beautiful experience!

The crab ravioli in lobster sauce is incredible.

Just left their restaurant. Our experience started off terrible, they had us sit beside a half open door. From there it went downhill. Our waitress (katelyn) was nice, but either new or disinterested. She forgot our appetizer and only came to ask our dinner order. She also didn t know how big or how many slices came with the pizza. I ordered Pescatore Linguine which claims to have cod. When the food came, I asked about our app - and that point she shared she forgot to put it in. We re ordered it after the fact. The only time she came back after dropping the food off was to pick up the dishes. When my husband asked for a refill of his pop (which we paid for) she came back and filled up all our water. Finally after waiting to get her attention I asked her if there was cod, and if so, where was it. She had to go back to the kitchen to check where the cod was in the pasta. She came back and informed me it was there, and I shared it wasn t. At that point she said, I guess I could get the manager , I made a gesture but didn t want to be too direct. She pretended to avoid it, but the atmosphere was so uncomfortable I didn t want to push it. Needless to say, $70 later and I would have preferred East Side Mario s. Save yourself $ and go across the street or to a chain. This place is run down, and the service is subpar. They don t seem to care about the quality and don t advocate for their customers. Pass on it.

I so love there fettuccine alfredo ....since it was mothers day I thought I would treat myself I ordered it and no flavour like it was watered down called complained I went back got a new one .....still no flavour again ....so I ended up having a bowl of cereal for mothers day

Awesome

Good good and service, but the website menu and prices are out of date. Was looking forward to getting the duck pizza, but they dropped it from the menu. Server mentioned google s menu was old but the website is correct - it s not. Both the official site and Google linked menu are wrong. Slight disappointment as I was looking forward to the duck, but the food and service did not disappoint. Got the soppressata instead

Best choice to eat out in niagara. Never lets you down. Always delicious and fresh ingredients.

We had to leave the restaurant because of the flies. Menu is not child friendly. We bought 4 entrees, garlic bread and brucheta. We threw everything out except one entree because it tasted like a box of salt. The carbanera was the worst entree at any restaurant I have ever had. Way way way too much salt. Nice waitress but poor quality food. Nice atmosphere but not family friendly.

Very nice food was good , the only thing was bad to me we were in side as it was noise. I could not here the person across from me . Should of sat out side as we were not given the choice

My fiancee and I LOVE Strada West (so much so we plan to use them for our wedding catering!) The food is always incredible, no matter what you get. Whenever we have friends or family come to Niagara Falls for the first time, we take them here to have dinner first. There is TONS of parking available, and a great little patio. Always great service, always great food, always a great option.

Great spot! Food was amazing and our server Goran was an amazing personality.... his service was great. My family would be back 100%. Thanks Goran and thank you Strada West!

Delicious dinners, spaghetti carbonera and crab ravioli were both oustanding Parking: Lots of parking

A restaurant in Canada that I will come by again. Great service and great food! The stuffed mushroom was amazing! My daughter loved the buttered ravioli! I did asked for my burger to be medium but I was told they can only cook one way, it wasnt bad, not burnt! It was medium well in my opinion! we came at lunch on a Monday, great atmosphere as well!

Went for dinner last week and was very disappointed with mushy tasteless risotto! And anti friendly waitress .

Love everything on the menu. My husband and I usually sit at the bar and share appetizers drinks and desserts The cheesecake is phenomenal.

Really good Italian restaurant

Fabulous dinner tonight, with Charlotte ( very attentive and efficient) as our server. Food was delicious, we werent rushed out and prices reasonable. Definitely going back and hopefully will have Charlotte look after us again! Shes great!!

Devine,Tasty, and simply delicious PLEASE VISIT !

Our server was amazing! I forget her name ): but she only works sometimes, as she has a full time job. Her customer service was superb. As for our food, we ordered a pep pizza, calamari, pescatore, crab rav & the burger. We finished with their amazing home-made cherry cheesecake. Fresh calamari btw Absolutely everything was impeccably seasoned & cooked. It was so amazing, that I can t wait to go back! Also, their sparkling prosecco is so tasty! See you soon!

Food was really good, especially the ravioli. Service was excellent as well

Great food

Food was great but the interior needed some tlc.

First time. Great environment and not to busy. The gnocchi was recommended. I dont normally order gnocchi, but I am glad I did! The house tomato sauce was devine and the gnocchi was fresh and homemade. You could tell because each piece wasnt identical. I would eat here again.

Fantastic Charcuterie Board along with a Couple of Excellently made Whiskey Sours, had a Great Visit ! Two Thumbs Up

Great Italian restaurant for all of the family.

If youre local or just visiting, this is a spot you should definitely check out. The food is consistently very good, the staff are a very good group, and the whole vibe in the place is great. The menu has something for everyone, and the bar is just the same. I highly recommend, worth it every time.

I found the food absolutely flavorless. Its a shame because the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the spaghetti was coated nicely, which means the chef knows what hes doing and the lack of flavor is deliberate.

My boyfriend and I had dinner here the other night and there were fruit flies every where to the point we decided to box all our food up and go.. very unclean environment. Also had crab cakes served on a bed of gone off lettuce. Would not recommend

Pizza was delicious but their Chicken Alfredo was average. Id stick with my pizza

Good food and service. Music was a bit on the loud side.

Had the rapini and sausage with orichiette. Great dish and service was wonderful!

Parking: Ample parking Wheelchair accessibility: Appears accessible. Food : 4/5 |

The food was so good and reasonably priced.

I am vegetarian and they have many options. Service was quick

The cheese plate was great to share between 3 people. Make sure to ask for extra bread. The pizza was disappointing...the tomato sauce they used was not good...soggy and mostly unappetizing

Ordered carbonara pasta, it was pretty Kid-friendliness: Kind response to kids preferences in food. My daughter had a tasty pasta with meet ball, substituted tomato sauce for Alfredo. Food : 5/5 |

Never disappointed. Personnel are friendly and conscientious.

The food was amazing. Dinner for 4. Great appys, mushrooms stuffed and my main was fettuccine with chicken and a bottle of Josh. What are the chances that my favorite bottle of wine was on the menu. P.S. I did not share my mushrooms

Updating my old review. I tried the linguini pescatore and it was lovely. Very nice staff and fast service. Each plate was well presented, prepared, and portioned.

Nice casual decor and relaxing vibe.

We enjoy a wonderful meal in a lovely restaurant.
