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.

    My date was on a flight back from Paris and sat next to a lovely couple from Buffalo who suggested Giancarlo’s. And boy were they spot on!!! First of all, our waitress, Olivia, was delightful and very knowledgeable with the menu. She and the other staff were on top of all our needs. There were so many choices I can’t wait to go back and try more. The filet mignon was the best I have ever had!! My date had the oysters and was very impressed! Our cocktails were delicious as well!! We don’t know the name of that couple on the plane, but thank you for steering us towards Giancarlo’s! It was well worth it!!

    We love dining at Giancarlo’s! The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is excellent. We had the Chicken Parmesan, the Godfather ribeye, the crab and corn ravioli, and the truffle fries. Victoria was our server! She was fantastic! We will definitely be back again soon!

    We have dined many times at Giancarlos. The service has been consistently excellent at this busy restaurant. My only concern during my latest visit was the caesar salad. For some reason there was crumbly bread on it. Why? Also, the dressing tasted like it was from a bottle purchased from Tops. Not great. The remainder of our meal was very good.

    Value was VERY poor for quality of food. Also we were there for 3 hours! Although the restaurant is beautiful I would not go back.

    Will start this off by saying that our server was EXCELLENT and this review is not a reflection of her at all, but with the food and overall experience. We were extremely disappointed and underwhelmed at our dinner on 12/31. We have enjoyed our meals here in the past, but something was definitely off. If you’re serving filet you should always offer a Bernaise sauce (which wasn’t a choice). The filet was cooked well but the Gorgonzola cream sauce was bland and watery. The Au gratin potatoes were horrendous- they were so salty we couldn’t finish them - I jokingly suggested maybe someone in the kitchen accidentally dumped a cup of salt in the dish because that’s what it tasted like. The Cassata cake was great but the peanut butter cheesecake was barely mediocre. I hate leaving a negative review for any restaurant, even if it’s a horrible experience, because I know restaurants are struggling. But with the prices associated with a meal like this I do expect at least a somewhat enjoyable experience and this just wasn’t. Definitely not the meal I had hoped to end 2024 with.
