• Steakhouse • Buffalo
Booked 49 times today
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.

    Such a cute little spot! It’s always so promising when a restaurant has a smaller menu, We knew everything would be five star! The food was FABULOUS! we got calamari and the burrata to start, for mains we had chicken parm, the eggplant parm, the penne alla vodka, and the carbonara, and for dessert we got the tiramisu and ice cream. ALL were so delicious. My friends and I will definitely be going back!!!!

    The Treadwell dining experience was outstanding in every way! From the welcoming greeting on a snowy evening, seating in captivating, entertaining and educational seats on the end corner of the counter, ther over-the-top food, wine selections, and experienced help from our server Amy, we highly recommend the Treadwell dinner experience for anyone who enjoys food, wine, and personally attentive service. It was a treat to meet and chat with James before we left. Thank you so much for creating a memorable highlight to our long overdue return to NOTL! -Ed & Tom
