• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Booked 50 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.

The dining experience was delightful- delicious food and excellent service. I do strongly object to leaving a credit card when making a reservation in case of cancellation- I almost did not make the reservation for that reason. And truthfully it is not like it was a busy weekend- there were only 2 other occupied tables during our entire time there. I would not do that again. I’ll either take my chances or go somewhere else - there are too many good restaurants in the area to choose that do not require that.
