We showed up unannunced about 8pm Saturday night, and they were just starting to wind down. They are open 5pm-close...not sure when that is, but those are the hours. At first it seemed that they might not be taking any more tables, but they quickly assured us we could have a seat and they would be happy to look after us. That was our lucky break. The service was fantastic..start to finish..and the food was just excellent. I had the chicken parm (special that night) and the wife had the Salmon (also a special that evening). The bread they give you to begin was great, but we added a bruschetta as well. Fantastic. The entrees came and they were just so darn good. We had a bottle of Meglomaniac Pinot Noir with dinner, and that was perfect. A truly pleasant experience. A+++++

The hot and ready pepperoni pizza is great. Our favourite to order is the Canadian. This is an all time favourite for our staff Christmas annual get together.

We used to love this place when it first opened...tasted just like Mossimoâs, very good quality. Unfortunately, over the past several months, the quality has gone downhill and each pizza is different than the last. Bummer. Management needs to train staff and set some consistent standards!

The food is very good. We shared a super-sized house salad and the Portabello Asiago; I had the Pollo Figaro, and my wife had the Eggplant Parmigiana. It was all very tasty. On the downside: the space is a rather gloomy barn, and the live music, mostly rock, that began around 8:30 was enough to drive us out of the restaurant before dessert.

Order the nachos Italiano. What a huge delicious dish of Italian and nacho goodness. The olives, the cheese, the chicken and sauce were simply amazing. The dish I think is an appetizer but I made it a meal. Wife thoroughly enjoyed chicken marsala but wished they used asparagus instead of green beans. Service was great and if I'm back in St. Catherine looking for Italian I will stop by again.

Open since 1995, Café Amore has been a staple of the St. Catharines area for nearly a quarter century. Over that time, the restaurant has garnered many accolades, according to their own website: best overall restaurant, most romantic, best desserts and best ambiance, amongst a few others. Of course, it would be helpful to know who voted Café Amore âbestâ in each of these categories â and when â but I guess such details are redundant when self-promoting?In any event, I patronized this restaurant with family for what was supposed to be, Iâm told, an unforgettable meal. Now, letâs start with what I liked about Café Amore: I did like the ambiance and atmosphere; it was traditional Mediterranean, but with a contemporary twist. The staff, doubtless, added to this warm and friendly atmosphere. Throughout the dinner service, they were engaging, friendly and very attentive and they did so in a way that wasnât intrusive. For me, this was a big âplusâ because it demonstrated that the Café Amore team understands the essence of good customer service, which is an integral part of any positive dining experience.Unfortunately, the food did not quite match the high calibre of customer service; in fact, Iâd go so far as to say the food was a mixed bag. The Charcuterie platter, which served as an appetizer, was spot on. It featured a nice selection of meats and cheeses â including prosciutto, salami, gorgonzola and provolone â and other niceties, including olives and the ever delightful figs. Likewise, my Caesar salad was good. It featured fresh parmesan and a dressing that contained just the right level of acidity and garlic. After two great starters, I had high hopes for my main: Stuffed sole. Much to my chagrin, however, the stuffed sole â a flat fish â fell flat in a pronounced way. First, the presentation was left wanting. The sole came in a grease-saturated dish (see photo); and the accompanying vegetables looked fairly sorry and sad, with the broccoli turning yellow in colour. Even the parsley garnish couldnât save the plating here. Second, when it came to taste, I was most disappointed. The sole, despite being filled with a broccoli-shrimp-cheese stuffing and saturated in an oily alfredo (?) sauce, lacked any significant flavour. The poor sole was completely lost in the oily mess. The one flavour that did ring through, though? The freezer. Yum!I should note, as well, that one member of our party had a wood-fired pizza. It was fine, but far from the best Iâve had in this regard. There were ample toppings but, for a wood-fired pie, it was rather âsoftâ in texture, which isnât standard. On the plus side, though, it was better than my fish.One thing that Iâve heard a lot about is Café Amoreâs desserts. Even while dining in the restaurant, I was able to overhear people raving about their cakes and pies. As such, I was excited to try one as well. I ended up going for the Strawberry shortcake. I will say, in terms of both presentation and taste, this cake was a definite winner. The cake was soft; the strawberry filling wasnât overly sweet; and the portion size was just right after a decent-sized meal. Sure, none of the desserts are actually made on site â and that is kind of a downer â but then again, there are quite a few establishments that bring these treats in from elsewhere. Itâs a pretty common practice. Youâd be surprised.FOOD: 3/5SERVICE: 4/5VALUE: 3/5RECOMMENDATION: Well, even though Café Amore has received many a (mystery) accolade, I probably wouldnât go out of my way to return here. The appetizers were good but the mains not so much. Likewise, the cake was delicious, but not made on site. While not really familiar with the St. Catharines area, Iâd hazard a guess that there are other â better â Mediterranean eateries in the vicinity. Mild recommendation.PS: If you found this review helpful in any way please consider hitting the "helpful" button!

Saturday our group of 22 people stopped by Ridgepoint for lunch and a wine tasting. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and accommodating in handling the diverse tastes of our large group. The dining room staff did not disappoint and handled the peculiar requests from the large group effectively and efficiently. The owner even shared some of their wine making secrets and answered all the questions, no matter how basic. They even made a special batch of their fabulous polenta fries for us. We will be going back

My wife and I recently visited âJust Cookingâ with 2 other couples who were visiting the Niagara area to secure fresh fruit for canning. They had sought our recommendation and, by all accounts, weâre not disappointed. I had an amazing seafood pasta ( huge pan seared scallops) and the others had a variety of entreeâs- all of which were highly rated. The only way to top our our great entreeâs were with scrumptious homemade desserts. The pièce de résistance was our attentive server.Kudos to âJust Cookingâ, a hidden gem in the heart of wine country.
