My husband and I ate here tonight for the first time. Our waitress was so polite and made sure we were looked after. Our food was amazing. From our appetizer to our main course. Simply delicious. Great place, I am recommending this restaurant to everyone.

We went here unexpectedly as where we wanted to go couldn't accommodate our reservations. We were very surprised of how lovely the staff was and the size of the food portions. The food was great and the prices are very decent. Would highly recommend the mozzarella sticks and lasagna.

For a Party of ten. The food was amazing. The prices were awesome. The cheese sticks were massive (3 almost the size of the Pillsbury cookie dough rolls) just about everyone had something different and everyone loved it. Our waitress 10/10 the questions she asked to serve us better blew my mind. Never have I met such a thoughtful waitress. The immediate support for accessibility ♿️ just an amazing eatery. Might be a permanent for us.

CC's Italian Eatery is a culinary oasis that brings the warmth and comfort of a homemade meal to the forefront. From the moment we savored the fettuccine with mussels to the creamy and delectable lasagna, and the pleasantly spiced lobster ravioli, each bite felt like a loving embrace from an Italian grandma pouring her heart and soul into the dishes. The Philly cheesesteak, with its creamy cheese that could rival any authentic Philly creation, was a standout that left a lasting impression. Despite a bustling crowd leading to a slightly extended wait, the food that graced our table at CC's Italian Eatery was nothing short of exceptional. It exuded authenticity, flavor, and a genuine sense of home-cooked goodness that could only come from a chef like Knoll, who clearly infuses his craft with passion and love for the culinary arts. The ambiance at CC's Italian Eatery was further elevated by the vibrant nightlife and outstanding live band performances, offering a complete dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Meeting the owners, Rose and Matt, along with Chef Knoll, was a delightful touch that highlighted the genuine care and dedication they put into every aspect of their restaurant. To top off this exquisite dining experience, the desserts at CC's Italian Eatery were a sweet symphony of flavors. The churros with vanilla ice cream provided a delightful crunch and creaminess that left us craving more, while the tiramisu cake added a layer of decadence and richness to our meal. The true highlight was the honor of trying the very first vanilla ice cream with the sweet red wine syrup, a combination that was out of this world delicious and truly unforgettable. In conclusion, CC's Italian Eatery is a place where passion, quality, and heartwarming flavors converge to create an unforgettable dining experience. It's a testament to the love for food and hospitality that permeates every corner of this establishment. I wholeheartedly look forward to returning to CC's Italian Eatery in the future for more culinary delights and heartfelt moments.

Food was excellent. The mozzerella sticks have now spoiled us for any other sticks. The antipasto was great sharing plate. We also had the Mussels, Sausage Pasta and the Cheese Ravioli. Portions were huge and we left fully stuffed. Tiriamiso for the bday girl.

Absolutely amazing food, great quality, great service! We came because of the reviews we seen and we were not disappointed at all! The famous mozzarella sticks were to die for as was the garlic bread ring. We almost spoiled our entrees but they were just as fabulous! Hats off to the cook and the staff. All around amazing place. We will .take the drive from Hamilton again and again to enjoy our new favorite date spot!!!

I placed an order with this establishment (not my first time), there was a mix up. A delivery service took my order. When I went to pick up my order it was not there. They apologized and quickly remade the food, including 3, free and delicious tiramisu. Personally, I think they went above and beyond. They took very good care of me, Thank you.

Is it my imagination or had this restaurant gone down a few stars. I have been in Welland 3 years and it was my fav restaurant to go to. Birthdays, celebrations ect. We have family from Hamilton there in May and had 8 people. Two ordered wings ect and im not sure what was in the bottom of the portion but it was like the scrap parts they were hiding. The rest of the meal was delicious except the sticker from the vegetable that was in my friends salad. We said something about the 3 so called wings and waitress said sorry she would bring 3 out. The person in the kitchen said no so end of that. Then went in June to have the nice young guy forget our drinks and bread. Then in July 28 to have italian wedding soup for lunch that tasted like vegetable soup mixed in with some meatballs. No bread until the end of our meal as they had none done. We asked another young guy and he told us that not our waiter. Im rethinking my fav place theses days. Sad.

We ordered 4 pasta dishes and the garlic ring. On the way to the door, the Skip delivery guy dropped one dinner. When we called the restaurant they were sympathetic and made another dish. Within 20 minutes they delivered to our door themselves and credited us for the initial loss. Impressive service. Food was excellent. Hot and flavorful! Big portions. We would definitely recommend checking this place out!!

Ordered large Uber order at 5 pm Friday April 26th for 7 pm delivery. A two hour notice and order was accepted by restaurant. Received notice at 6:20 my order would be delivered at 6:55. 10 mins later at 6:30 order was cancelled due to the restaurant being too busy. This is unacceptable. The order was originally accepted so if the restaurant isn t capable of completing both in restaurant and delivery orders at the same time maybe Uber isn t the best avenue for this restaurant. You wouldn t cancel an order of a customer that has called the establishment for a takeout order so why would you do this to a delivery customer? Wanted to try this restaurant for a while but after this experience, will not be doing so. Extremely poor customer service.

May 23, 2024

Not sure where to start. Food took over 40 min with only 4 tables in the restaurant. When one of our party ordered a beer the glass had a good bit of the rinse water at the bottom, when I showed our server he told me not to worry it s just the rinse water. Nothing better than a beer with some rinse in it. When our food finally arrived not once during the meal were we asked how it was 2/4 people didn t eat there food and when I was asked how mine was I replied with just alright but that answer didn t seem to raise any concerns. The last time we ate here was 3 years ago it used to be quality Italian food. Great service. Unfortunately that was not the case this time around

Went there for the first time this evening for my fiancées birthday and we were blown away. The mozzarella logs, deep fried ravioli and gnocchi are among the must haves. The portions were enormous. The mozzarella logs required a knife and fork. Our entrees were almost twice the size our heads. We had to take some home because of how much food we got. We were not used to such incredible portion sizes for such reasonable prices. But what really got us was the authenticity and quality of the food. House made Italian food! The Mrs and I got three glasses of wine, three giant appetizers and two mains for less than 65 each with taxes and before tip! Plus her main came with an enormous house salad and bread for the table. If that wasn t enough, our server Craig was kind enough to bring us a large slab of homemade tiramisu for my fiancée. It was like eating a cloud. We were astounded by how light and moist it was. We will definitely be returning. Our meal here has set the standard for what an Italian dinner should be. Five stars.

Amazing meal at CCs Dugout Italian Eatery yesterday. Family run restaurant and they are truly super sweet people. The food and service was outstanding. We enjoyed the mozza sticks (they are huge) spicy calamari with shrimp, smash burger, Pasta con Cozze and perfectly cooked and sauced chicken wings. Way too much food for 3 people but we had no problem bringing home leftovers. One of the best meals we have had in a long time! Excited to go back.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience here the other night with friends. Most of us ordered the Parmasean dishes. My veal was a good size on a giant bed of gnocchi. The chicken parms looked small, though. But let me tell you the Enormous mozza sticks made up for it! Theyre a meal unto themselves! Great service and great food. In reflection, it was more expensive to eat here than some of our nights in NOTL. In comparison, they were more expensive than Rizzos. Thats a stretch. We will eat here again, but truly as an expensive food night.

January 23, 2024

One of the highest priced Italian menus in the region, I ordered a classic entre with spaghetti and meatballs that only has 2 meatballs and a small portion of spaghetti which doesn t seem like a typical serving?after alerting the waiter he confirmed my disbelief you only get 2 meatballs that you have to pay extra for . I felt hungry after leaving and made dinner as soon as I got home. I ll be going anywhere but here for an italian dinner from now on.

VERY DISCUSTED WITH THE SERVICE I spend 65 dollars on food that was not even remotely close to the order I put in. Who mixes red egg plant parm with white pasta. Then forgets my salad completely. then to top it off they forget my dipping sauce for my meatballs stingers and pizza rolls. Then make matters worse doesnt offer me any money back and now all my food is cold. GREAT THX CCS DUGOUT NEVER AGAIN.

Took my mom here for her birthday and the smell of nail polish acetone from next doors salon was so bad we had to ask for our food to be takeout instead. Within 10 minutes of us getting home we were throwing up, nauseated, burning nose and headache. The food was great and we will order takeout again that s why I gave it 2 stars. Service was poor, the server seemed like she didn t want to be there and we were an inconvenience.

Homey neighbourhood bar atmosphere with a nice selection of wines. We all had either eggplant veal or chicken parm. It was cooked well but unfortunately it lacked taste. The pasta sauce wasnt it was tomatoe sauce that although I dont know I might guess it came out of a can. A place that bills itself as an Italian restaurant should in my opinion never serve bare pasta noodles with a puddle of sauce on top. I think the first time made pasta when I was about 15 years old I made a pasta dish this way. I had been to this restaurant years ago at which time the food had amazing taste. That is gone and so am I. Come here for a drink maybe but the food is blah blah blah

December 23, 2023

Awful. I went in and there was two young servers talking to each other at the bar. I was waiting like a fool at the door, because they looked at me and just ignored me, they could ve just shout out for me to choose my table. By the way the table was super dirty. When the young lady decided to work, she came to the table and greeted us with just hey , and gave us the menu. I had the gnocchi with veal. I can t explain how awful the gnocchi was. It was white with no seasoning, not even salt. It was just as like I was eating flour. The sauce was made just with salt and pepper. No flavour at all. The veal was good. I would never go back.

There were 4 of us who ate at CCs last night for the first time and I cant wait to go back. The tomato sauce was the best in Niagara. The portions were very generous and there was a good selection of appetizers and entrees. The prices are reasonable and thank you for that! So glad we just happened to find this place. We will be talking about how good the food is so more locals learn of this place. Dietary restrictions: They make your food fresh and you can ask for help as needed when preparing your food.

Our first time here the food was great however the smell of the nail salon next door was very overwhelming. Our waitress was nice but not very attentive. She took our order and came back to the table once then again to bring bill. Ordered take out a chicken parm and a fettuccine Alfredo and the garlic ring with cheese to go. Got the chicken parm with fettuccine noodles not fettuccine Alfredo and the garlic ring had no cheese. When we told her she said oh sorry no offer to make right by this time we were ready to go. I will say food was heat but based on the overwhelming smell of acetone and the service I don t think we will be back.

Under new ownership, decided to check it out If I lived in Welland, would be there every day! Homemade gnocchi, meatballs and sauce, how can you go wrong. Got a side of the deep-fried gnocchi with a cinnamon honey topping...as Guy Fieri says... Took me on a one-way trip to flavour town!

Went here with my Boyfriend over the weekend and the girl who greeted us was super nice. We were the only ones there to my surprise as the food was good and nicely priced for what you get. The server was nice and the place seemed clean. The only complaint I have is that there wasn t any cutlery at the table and we didn t get any with the food and it took her awhile to come back or get her attention. Overall I d recommend.

Easily the best Italian place in welland! The food is delicious with really good sized portions for a very reasonable price too. Their homemade Alfredo sauce is the best I ve ever tasted, it s light and has a great flavour that s not overpowering. Their restaurant is simplistic while still being very cozy and provides a balance between a traditional Italian restaurant and a restaurant with strong small town roots! I will most definitely be going to eat their again in the near future!!

My husband and I popped in for a late lunch/early dinner on Friday, August 2nd. A few people were there. Our waitress, a young lady named Marissa (sp), was prompt, very attentive and very sweet. Our order came quickly. Food was hot. My husband had a meatball sandwich which Marissa recommended having on a panini rather than bread. Excellent choice. He really liked it and finished the second half at home. I had the house salad with chicken. The house dressing was real balsamic dressing made from scratch. Salad ingredients were fresh. Marissa even went above and beyond and sent us home with a fairly large container of spaghetti sauce for free! I made a penne dish with 3 cheeses at home the next day with the sauce she gave us. I highly recommend this place!

First time customer, wont be my last visit! Big shout out to our server Marissa (Marisa?) who provided us with exceptional, thoughtful service. She was polite and friendly, offered suggestions based on comments I had made (where I was actually thinking out loud to myself, lol) and made sure we were taken care of. Her recommendation of the Benchwarmer sauce for my wings was SPOT ON - wow, so good - my new go to! And her pride when saying it was their own recipe was really sweet to see. Good servers are often hard to find - and she was a great one!

One word, Quality. Actually two words, Love. Ice cold crisp beer, calamari reminds me of Spain, arancini was very satisfying, pasta Primavera with home made Alfredo sauce and garlic shrimp was impressive. Kids chicken fingers were proper. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Funnel cake straws with whipped cream and ice cream satisfied the sweet tooth. Exceptional staff to top off the whole experience. What a wonderful night with the family. Thank you, CCs Dugout!

I ordered spaghetti and salad for take out, said 13.95 on the menu. When I go to pick up the order price was 27.00 when I got home I called to ask why the price was pretty well double the price I was told that price was before not now. Talk about price gouging and misleading prices I will not be a return customer so for a family of 4 four plates of spaghetti costs over a hundred dollars get real Wayne
