Mick & Angelo's Eatery & Bar

Went here on Saturday night and ate in the bar.  We had the Calimari Diavolo and LOVED IT!  That and the peanuts and we were full.  The beer was ice cold, the regulars were super friendly, even the owner (who we recognized from the picture in the doorway) made us feel welcome- chatting about the Steelers & Penguins.  I read some of the other reviews, and sometimes the quality of the food can take a backseat to the welcoming atmosphere of a friendly bar.
Oh- I did order a grilled veggie pizza to take back to the hotel (The Peninsula- very nice place, very affordable, very clean) and that was delicious as a late night snack AND as breakfast the next morning...

We WILL definately come back here...

Btw- Adam Richmond is a TOOL...

Took friends of ours who came here on vacation for their daughters 16 birthday and we live here and thought it would be a nice change. VERY disappointed. Just given our appetizers then the main course came not even 2 minutes after. We were then told the food would be kept under the heat lamp until we were ready. It wasn't until at least 10 minutes later that we got it. The trio lasagna was sour and tasted of goat cheese, the chicken parm was so dry couldn't even cut it with the knife and the Alfredo was so over done and dry couldn't eat it. We were a table of 6.... ONE meal was ok and it was the only one NOT pasta.
NOT GOING BACK

After two days in Niagara Falls I had enough of the tourist traps and chain restaurant meals which were mostly horrendous and all very expensive. After searching Yelp for places outside the immediate area of the falls, I found this place and gave it a shot despite the poor reviews.

The establishment is a five to ten minute drive from downtown Niagara Falls but is a world away from the food establishments found near the falls. This was the first good, home cooked style meal my family had in two days. I was in the mood for chicken parmesan and my wife got the special of the day, which was a pasta with alfredo sauce. Both were excellent.

During our time at M&A we had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. Our waitress was very attentive and checked in with us just enough to make sure everything was ok. Near the end of our meal a manager stopped by our table to ask how our meal was. We got into a conversation about where we were from (NJ) and the differences in menu items in Canada. He was very pleasant to talk with and brought us a small sample of "poutine" gravy, which neither my wife nor I ever had before. Again, a welcome relief to what we had experienced near the falls where customer service seems to treat customers (tourists) like they are a burden.

Do yourself a favor when visiting Niagara Falls, get out of the tourist trap and visit M&A.  We had a good meal with good service at a reasonable price.
