Dropped by for lunch today and was very pleasantly surprised by the unusual taste combination of their pizza with blue cheese and thinly sliced pears. Very fresh with a thin crust topped off with a can of San Pellagrino. A simple but delicious mid-day meal at a fair price. Decor was fine and service was pretty good too.

Stopped off at Scorecard Harry's for a well deserved drink on a hot day . Was looking at the place next door on the corner as it looked like a popular place but there was no outside seating left. I think we just found a gem of a place. We ended up having a meal there as the daily specials were awesome. Huge portions and almost half the price of the place next door. That coupled with a beer special and you hit the tri-fecta !! We will def be returning..soon.

Cefalù Rustica Eatery is a very southern Italian restaurant, with true Sicilian dishes that will bring you back feeling like your Nona's cooking.

Visited with my daughters and sat on the patio. Lovely view, but the service is so painfully slow it detracts from the visit. Charcuterie and wine were good. Pasta and pizza were mediocre and the prawns with polenta had so many chilies it completely overpowered the dish. Expensive meal for disappointing service and food.
3. Paesano Pizza

I found Paesano via Tripadvisor and thought I would give them a try based on the good reviews. The reviews are right. This is awesome pizza. Crust is great, not thick but just right ... a little thicker than those wood fired pizza places. The sauce is awesome. Ingredients always seem fresh. I've now had 3 pizzas over the last few weeks and each one has been great. My girlfriend and I both think it is a great tasting pizza. I will go so far as to say that the pizza is the best I've had in many years and I like it better than any pizza I've had anywhere else in the Niagara Peninsula. The service has been good as well. This place gets busy at times but so far service is very good. I highly recommend for the pizza. I'm trying out some of the other meals this weekend.

Reviewed By PookyCake
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!
