Skip the Tourist Traps! Try This Authentic Italian Gem Near the Falls

While Niagara's tourist zone is packed with overpriced restaurants (many charging inflated "visitor taxes"), 🇮🇹 this family-run Italian spot just outside the main area has been serving locals since 1962 - no hidden fees! Specializing in Napoli-style pizza and pasta, the restaurant offers a charming ambiance with spacious seating. The value is incredible - pizzas and pastas range from $20-$30, appetizers $15-$25. Portions are so generous that two entrees and two starters left us with enough leftovers for another meal! 🍴 Appetizers The massive meatball & sausage platter could easily be a main course. Our server recommended an unforgettable bread basket with honey-cheese dip (name forgotten, but stomach happily remembered). We were half-full before mains arrived! 🍕 Burrata & Prosciutto Pizza Featuring house-cured ham and a whole burrata cheese atop a perfectly crisp crust - bellissimo! 🥔 Gnocchi Ossobuco Pillowy potato dumplings smothered in rich braised veal sauce (falling-off-the-bone tender). A must for carb lovers! We sadly skipped tiramisu (after seeing a neighboring table receive a massive, tempting bowlful) - next time's first order! 🍽️ Napoli Ristorante Pizzeria 📍5485 Ferry St, Niagara Falls, ON L2G 1S3 #NiagaraEats #HiddenGems #ItalianFood #TorontoFoodie #CanadianTravel #FallsFoodGuide #NoTouristTax
