• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Booked 54 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 ate on the veranda. It is very welcoming with a nice ambiance there. We enjoyed watching people walk their children and dogs up and down the street. The gardens are taken care of and had beautiful blooming flowers. The food was even better than the atmosphere. The staff is very polite and friendly.
