• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

I gave the ambience a FAIR because the restauraurant was too cool. Don’t you have a furnace? It is November and you’re right at the lake. Let’s warm the place up.

At 630 pm Via open table arranged 715 time,, called by hostess heads-up running late asked about possible accepting later time which was fine with us, glad we arrived at 8 and hostess very accommodating; offered us table in dining room or the lounge which was quieter with college football on with volume off and fireplaces warm. Waiter and hostess very attentive; we split fig pizza slightly sweet and perfectly made, and seafood with risotto which had abundant well cooked seafood and of course perfect risotto. Negronis were excellent and reasonably priced. We had a pleasant evening of conversation, food, football and great service. Great place to eat.

The server forgot to submit my husband’s dinner order, so he had to wait for his meal while the rest of us ate. However, she gave us a $10 gift card before we left.
