• Steakhouse • Buffalo

Booked 64 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.

I have been a patron of the Old Orchard Inn for some time. I had not been there in a while, and was pleasantly surprised in the menu changes coupled with the fact that they still served the hot cinnamon rolls with the bread basket. Service was great, seating was wonderful (it was cold out and my customers were from California). We sat in front of the fireplace! One of my visitors had a southern dish and claimed it was the best he had ever had. Better then in New Orleans. Turned out to be one of the best customer meals I have had in a long time.
