Try Michael's Restaurant on Pine Avenue in The Little Italy section of Niagara Falls, NY. It's an awesome restaurant. The decor is a small diner, but the food is fabulous! Would eat there again and again - actually we ate there many times in one trip!

little Italy seemed like any other part of Niagara. The only difference was there was information on the gangsters that ran the area. A bunch of little museums that looked like peoples homes. interesting

Hardly anything that says little Italy- few restaraunts (Michaels and The Como are excellent) and lots of transients. This street is not particularly all that safe. The entertainment district is more little India than this is Itlay

Do not go here! Avoid at all costs. There is nothing to do or see here. This is not 'little Italy.' The whole thing is a sham. There were once Italians in this area, but they all moved away or died. Their 3rd generation descendants, faced with a faded, declining, and rotten tourist city, came up with the idea of... More

There was 1 Italian restaurant Michael's that was wonderful, otherwise I have no idea why this is Little Italy. No gellato, no bakeries, I guess there was an Italian sounding funeral home but not much else.

The Italian restaurant which is quite improbably decorated in Mexican decor' a style comensurate with the name: La Hacienda which has supposedly been Italian food for several decades.... Portions were generous enough to satisfy two teenagers and it didn't break mom's budget. Noticed a number of locals which appeared to be a combination of frugal family gatherings, planned large group... More

What can I say, yes it was once a big Italian commuity and still has a few Italian restuarants but the food they serve is really bad. This whole city would keep Chef Ramsey busy for the next 50 years trying to fix bad cooks with over sized egos.

You must try Gagsters Restaurant in the parking lot area by the McDonalds on Pine Avenue. I have been coming here from Canada for 20 years, and they still have the best wings and pizza anywhere!!
