Awful service and bruschetta. Left after that. Took 20 minutes to have a waitress come to the table. Then she approaches and asked for complete order. Not hello. Sorry for waiting. Etc.

Amazing food and amazing service. We were originally seated with an obstructed view of the falls and firework display but, without us even asking, they offered to move us to a table with a better view when they noticed my partner straining around the obstruction to see. Overall, we loved the vibe, the food and drinks were delicious, and our waitress (I think her name was Cadence?) was so lovely and friendly.

The restaurant itself was lovely and the service was great. Unfortunately the food was really lacking flavor so was very disappointing. Didn’t really enjoy the food too much. Wasn’t horrible, just very bland. Views were great.

The food was fantastic. Our server (whose name i forget) was a lovely young woman and treated us very well. They gave us free dessert for our anniversary. The downside is the price. The food was very good but the place is very expensive for what you get. I understand food prices have risen recently but not at this scale. Ive been in the industry for over 2decades, and i also work at a resort running a fine dining kitchen and our food isn't this expensive. 85$ for tenderloin is way too much. I would recommend as long as price isnt an issue for you.

Overall we loved the service! Very kind and attentive. The biggest disappointment was the food. We both got a pasta - one was the carbonara and then the cavatappi. Both dishes flavors were extremely overwhelming and everything tasted the same in each bite. You couldn’t taste whether you added a pea or shrimp or mushroom to a bite to change the flavor - it was all one flat, overwhelming and heavy flavor. After two bites we were both over the taste. For the price we definitely were very disappointed for the lack of culinary depth in the taste.

Our server took 30min to come tell us the bottle of red wine we requested was not available. The service was awful, the food was delicious but over priced. You truly pay for the view not anything else at this restaurant. I think we got a subpar server because the other two working seemed to be right attentive to their tables, once we were told our bottle of wine was unavailable instead of waiting she went away and we waited an additional 15min or so to order wine. Overall we made the best of it but truly have had much better service and food elsewhere for a fraction of the price. Would not recommend and will not ever return.

This was our second visit and, as previously, the food was fantastic. Our server, however, left a lot to be desired. To us he was, at best, somewhat vacant. To the diners next to us, he was blatantly rude when all they ordered was soup and salad. I didn’t get his name but he was a larger gentleman, bald and wore glasses. Avoid him at all costs.

The food was absolutely disgusting. We spoke to the manager about how awful our dishes were and he was very apologetic. As an Italian I was very disappointed that this restaurant owned by Massimo Capra served the food brought to our table and considered it Italian style dishes. The fried calamari was drenched in oil and looked old or pre-frozen. The gnocchi were drenched in tomato sauce that had burnt pancetta and an over abundance of oregano. The grouper was more similar to sole fillets. Our party of 6 were completely shocked that Massimo Capra allows this food to be served at his restaurant.

Firstly, I want to say that I was very impressed with the overall atmosphere and service of the restaurant. My girlfriend and I went to Niagara Falls for my birthday, and we decided to go to Massimo to conclude our nightly stay in Niagara. While entering the restaurant, you notice that it is very beautiful as it immediately catches the eye of the customer. The ambience and atmosphere is very fancy with a stunning layout of tables and very nicely clean and decorated restaurant. Additionally, the restaurant has a gorgeous view of the glowing falls. The one thing I will say is that I felt as though the restaurant was a little dark as there is only one little plastic candle on each table to illuminate the premises. Personally speaking though, I enjoy eating my food while also observing the delicious and presentable ingredients on my plate. That being said, however, I am aware that one may like the dark atmosphere when enjoying a meal. Secondly, when it came to the food itself, one word to describe my experience; it was FANTASTIC. For our appetizer, we started with the bruschetta bread, and it was the best bread I’ve ever had. The savoury taste of fresh olives, goat cheese, and bread was different than what I’ve had in the past. For our mains, we got the seafood linguine and my girlfriend got the chicken parmesan. The mains were outstandingly rich in flavour, and I later found out that the pasta is made from scratch, and the protein is fresh. The linguine was definitely the best thing I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend the seafood linguine. For dessert, we received the key lime cheesecake and the tiramisu cake. The sweetness of the desserts were spot on. As closing remarks, I want to take a moment to talk about my server. Our server’s name was Blake, and he was just the best server. He was professional, intuitive, knowledgeable, and kind. He even gave us the tiramisu on the house. My experience was so wonderful, I had to thank Blake and one of the chefs!

Beautiful space, amazing view of the Falls. Chicken parm was delicious! Huge portion and the accompanying pasta with red sauce was flavourful & very yummy. Cavatelli was unfortunately very bland. The greens, mushroom & bacon sauce was clumped on top like an afterthought, not mixed in with the pasta. Fritti de Mare was very good, light & crispy.
