Great Italian
June 26, 2014Great Italian food, but in need of a makeover. It looks very dingy and dated but the food is amazing! Clams Casino and Gnochhi were perfectly cooked. The pizza was delicious. the bar could be more accommodating, but all in all a good meal!

Delicious and Gluten Free Delight
June 22, 2014My husband has Celiac and when we travel we are challenged to find GF AND good food. But we were amazed at what we found here. The chef came to our table and assured my husband that there would be no cross contamination and then walked through options for him. For starters he had the shrimp diablo and I ordered... more

One location is closed now
November 02, 2013I understand the Clark street location is closed. Only the Fonthill location open. Sorry folks- not as easy for tourists to find. But not far...just go out Lundy's Lane away from Niagara and as you approach Fonthill, about 15 min away you will see it on the right hand side amoungst a grove of trees. Same menu, same yumminess!!

If you Love Authentic Italian food
July 15, 2013i just returned from a wonderful trip to Italy and loved it! I depended on the wonderful city apps that tripadvisor provides to find the best restaurants in Rome, Florence and Venice. I always found myself, as I scrolled through the reviews, saying to my friends "Oh look! This one is written by a local!" So its time to tell... more

lunch at the one in Fonthill Ontario
June 26, 2013They have 2 locations, and the Fonthill one did not come up on Trip Advisor. We were on our way to Waterlooo from the border via back roads as we were on motorcycles. This was a charming place to stop for lunch. They have best whole grilled calamari served over a salad. Paninis were great too.

Authentic Italian, not restaurant chain fodder
March 17, 2013
I am always pleased to find a place other than the MSG infused, over-salted restaurant chain miserable excuses for food. Unfortunately these independent places are becoming less and less available.
This little restaurant has it all. Atmosphere, great authentic Italian food and wonderful service. I'm proud that I support these local food artists that are slowly dieing out. Will be...

not authentic food, not worth the hype
March 07, 2013Our visit (on a weekday) was disappointing. Server was okay, a little strange, but very nice. Calamari fritti were clearly packaged and fried. They were all circles of the same size with the same thickness of breading, no tentacles. My gnocchi were also packaged and the sauce was very average. At least they used fresh basil. My boyfriend's pasta vodka... more

February 26, 2013Only steps away from a Niagara Falls tourist strip, this family run ristorante seems thousands of miles away. Last night we enjoyed an excellent meal. Best calamari fritti anywhere.

We went to Niagara Falls for the weekend. We were meeting my sister and her husband for dinner, they live in the area. I had seen the positive recommendations and when I mentioned Casa Vostra for dinner to my sister she said "been there , its a great local spot".

Fabulous meal
January 27, 2013We just chose off of the closest list to our hotel and were delighted with the meal, the service and the value. We started with a wonderfully fresh bruchetta and then we both had veal parm. Topped this off with a spilt tartoufo. Just over all very well done, nice atmosphere and great service and hosts.

Impolite behavior
January 16, 2013We bought their Groupon (for two persons). As encouraged by them in the offer, we later gifted their Groupon to our adult daughters. Taking into account their restriction on the use of one Groupon "per table" we and our daughters made separate bookings for separate tables; and despite that the waitress was rude in saying that we were "cheating" because... more

Not good at all even with 50% off Groupon
January 13, 2013Weird vibe as soon as we walked in. Ordered bruschetta and mussels to begin, bruschetta severely burnt and mussels not good and sauce had separated. When asked how everything was I pointed out the black bruschetta in front of us and waitress informed me "that's the way people like it". The chicken Parmesan was half a breast and minestrone was... more

Nice, but nothing special
December 22, 2012After reading reviews and a recommendation from friends, we ate Casa Vostra on Friday December 21, 2012. We expected more...The Bruschetta too oily and soaked into the bread which was just slightly toasted bread. The pasta alla vodka was recommended by the waitress which was nice. The cheese cake was also nice. Service was also okay. Ambiance was okay, but... more

I've been meaning to write a review of this place for some time. I visit Niagara Falls often and always find myself heading to Clark Avenue where you'll find Casa Vostra.
Very unassuming on the outside, beautiful and quaint on the inside. Great service always, everybody there is always smiling and you can tell it's just sincere.

Good Food. Good Value
November 10, 2011Casa Vostra serves good, basic, authentic Italian food at reasonable prices. The service was excellent and the restaurant was full at lunch time. Being "off season" this is a good indication that the restaurant is liked and respected by the locals.
