antica pizzeria & ristorante

the restaurant has a family friendly vibe and a wood fired oven. not that the two are related - but the ambience is relaxed and i was incredibly excited about the possibility of a great pizza.

check it out. great pizza and have been going there for over 15 years. they never disappoint!

at the niagara falls, we decided to head over to antica for lunch. the service was extremely slow. we had to wait for a longer time to get our food on the table. we ordered a few appetizers & pasta which were just ok. due to their service, they also messed up a few drinks that we had ordered 😐. at the end we ordered a pizza which was comparatively better in taste.

delicious. just visited this restaurant and found it to be very nice. all the staff were friendly and helpful, our waitress was very good, checked in just the right amount of times. the food was excellent!! we would definitely go back.

i’ve been coming here since i was a kid. my father was born in napoli and it was always a place we turned to for good pizza. unfortunately, over the years the expansion of the restaurant became a priority and the quality diminished. sad that this won’t be a reason for the long drive to niagara anymore. i’m sure the restaurant will still thrive but sadly the childhood memories won’t. 🙁

pretty good italian lives here. my wife had the ravioli. that looked good. she enjoyed it. my son had the kids pizza and that was good but not special. my daughter had spaghetti and meatball. that also was nothing special. the meatball was not bad but not noteworthy. my other son and i had gnocchi. that was very good. i had the vodka sauce. the prosciutto and onion were good additions. the pasta was soft and tender. it was perfectly cooked. finally, we had tiramisu. that was good. they use cake and not lady fingers so it may be a little looser than you are used too. still, the flavor was very good. all in all, a solid meal. i was just hoping for a bit more.

after waiting for 35 minutes without anyone taking our order i had to walk up to the waitress to let her know we were ready for water, bread, and to place orders. the food cane quickly. there was nothing authentic at all, the pasta was over done and bland, we had the mediterranean, chicken alfredo and spaghetti with meatballs. no one could eat more than a few bites. very poor quality and effort

thin crisp pizzas but overly expensive! wood oven pizza are definitely amazing but not worth each for 20-22 cad!! the servers are very friendly, the restaurant is clean and comfortable and in a great location. for vegetarian pizza, they have only 1 or 2 choices. wouldn't really recommend this place to anyone as i didn't find anything "great" per se

disappointing and waaaaay overpriced. they claim their pizzas are 12" - what they mean is it comes in a 12" square box, with lots of room around it, and far worse than that is the 2-3" ring of undressed crust surrounding the nice little personal pizza in the middle. last time in niagara falls we got from bravo, much better and not such a ripoff. i have no idea who rates this joint above 3 stars, let alone how it got on a value-for-money list...maybe those people usually eat at airports?
yes this garish tourist town has a teeming abundance of overpriced and unappealing chains and other crap. doesn’t make this joint any better. i won't be back.

well !! the place is good. ambience is nice. we ordered for a gnocchi - which was kind of bland. lacked something in taste.
the vegetarian pizza was ok but too lacked a bit of salt and some more depth in taste.

but what was the best was the homemade tiramisu. it was just fantastic. must go just to try the tiramisu !!!

enjoyed pizza, salad and drinks with friends. great sitting on the side where the wood stove are so you can watch and smell the freshly made pizzas. is always a great place to bring family and friends coming to visit the falls. walking distance to clifton hill which is also a plus!

went here with my friend. we were recommended by a niagara falls resident who happens to also be italian . she told us this place had the best pizza in town. we went straight there. being near the downtown strip parking i could see being a problem on weekends especially.
atmosphere- clean and bright with a wood oven as soon as you walk in. the pizza guy the whole time we were there constantly put pizzas in and pulled them out with no time for resting. it made me tired just watching him
food- we had 2 pizzas- #10 and #16. all i can say was both were fantastic and the crust was the top quality fr sure. thin and not soggy in the least. sauuce  was also flavourful and toppings plentiful. we had a phylo goat pastry to start that was scrumptious with fresh olives. yum
service- impeccable. our waiter was a young kid really who was a pro. he checked on us periodically, just enough without being intrusive. he was personable and he helped to make the evening lovely. 
impression- i will go again and i will tell my friends to go there when they are there too,

one of the woooooorst restaurants i have ever been to, i was so excited to try this restaurant after seeing the high ratings and all these great reviews. we ordered arancini, chicken parmigiana and quattro stagioni pizza, the pizza was the only this "eatable" but not special at all, the other dishes should be sent to trash directly. i don't reccomend this place at all , i'm really surprised how people are satisfied with this place!

one of the worst so called italian.
pastas are made with a tomato sauce that is ketchup. the meatballs are horrendous, i dont know if that thing has meat, tastes like a shoe.
pizza not bad, but tastes like nothing. great disapointement.
i eaten in many italians around the world, rome, paris, london, new york, this one is the worse.

great wood-fired pizza and great service on the fringe of the most touristy part of town. my wife and i both ordered the canadese pizza, mine was straight up, and my wife substituted goat cheese for mozzarella since she can't have cow cheese. i also ordered the garlic bread with cheese and a silversmith black lager. our server was very responsive and available when we needed her, which is good because we happened to come in around 2pm, so it was less busy. there were still a good number of people in though, so even in the afternoon lull this place is far from dead.

the garlic bread appeared to have been baked in the oven as well, although not fresh from scratch, as it looked as if the pieces were thick slices off a larger loaf and then baked again to melt the cheese. they did not automatically supply dipping marinara sauce for it, but they brought it promptly when asked, and i don't think there was any extra charge.

the pizzas came out hot and very delicious! the canadese has pepperoni, mozzarella, red sauce, and bacon, although if you're from the states, it's canadian bacon of course, more like super thin-sliced ham and nothing like the strips we eat with a big breakfast in the u.s. my wife especially loved the crust, and i have to agree that it was excellent! the entire feel was like that of what you'd get at any of the fantastic pizzerias you find all through upstate new york, so it has a thin crust that is just short of turning crispy and is easy to fold.

the beer selection here has a few drafts, all of which seemed to be craft beers, and they were awesome about letting you have a taste to decide what you want to order.

this was a great find for awesome pizza in a town that tends to be overloaded with boring suburban u.s. chain restaurants!
