• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Booked 28 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.

We went in on a Thursday night at 6:30 PM. I was surprised how quiet it was, but as the night went on- it filled up. It was our second time here. The food was good, and everything came out evenly. The appetizer was delicious- the burrata- one of the best I had. One of the best parts of the night was our server, Jessica. She was friendly, helpful, and not pushy at all. Definitely ask for her when you go!

First of all, it’s a lovely setting and we like visiting Patrick’s rooftop bar. The hostess greeted us and was extremely friendly. Unfortunately, we found out that the table we had booked didn’t really exist and they weren’t serving as all their tables were outside. Though they told us we could get food at the bar, They were kind enough to turn the outdoor fireplaces on for us. The service was great and friendly. Drinks were good. The location is extremely nice.
