Was expecting much better considering the previous reviews. Bread was salty, overly soft, and cold. The salad was just drowned in dressing and had lettuce that looked like it was going bad. The ravioli was tasteless and like frozen food. At least the server was very friendly despite being the only one working the whole dining room.
Fine dining with great service and friendly staff, wonderful menu, overall and fantastic experience, this restaurant is one place you should visit if you come to Niagara Falls.
My sister and I went for a special sister meal a week before Christmss...we had not been there in many many years. It was great...very comfortable...family feeling...great prices...tons of food.A great place to go to just make yourself forget the crazy world out there and feel like life is normal again.Thanks Como Restaurant and employees😃
Very good food. Great service. Everyone was very friendly. Huge portions and very reasonably priced.
The Thanksgiving turkey package was a huge disappointment. Bland and flavorless turkey barely even seasoned with salt and pepper, bland and flavorless stuffing that was just a blob ofwhite bread and so much fat-laden stock that it was gelatinous and inedible, mixed vegetables that were obviously from a big freezer bag and just heated up - thats it, candied yams which were heated up straight from a can, and bland and flavorless mashed potatoes. Even the gravy was bland and tasted like it had been thickened with corn starch. All in all, the entire meal tasted like it had been cooked for somebody on a strict diabetic diet. I had school lunches as a kid that had more flavor! So my familys dinner table ended up containing a big portion of the spice cupboard just so we could eat, and we even had to reinvent the stuffing and gravy the following day so they didnt end up in the trash. Never again, Como!
Fun, old school Italian atmosphere. Large portions, good food!
We got a tour guide tip to eat at Como Restaurant. However, we arrived there for dinner on a Monday evening & they were closed. We were ready to find another place but a gentleman walked out to greet us & told us to walk next door to their deli. He escorted us in and introduced us to his brother and friend. We ordered their lasagna dinner and sat down. The portions were huge and meatballs & sauce were so delicious. Their cookies were yummy too! We met other family members--felt so welcoming. Other customers were friendly & could see they were regulars. We couldnt of asked for a better dining experience!
True Italian food! Not just some wanna-be place claiming to be so. These guys were great - felt like visiting the Italian in-laws. Good food and plenty of it. The homemade pasta made it. They walk around talking to the customers like they know you and youre visiting their home. Feels like the well established family restaurant that it is. Well done, guys.
Fantastic authentic Italian food. We share the 5 course Family Style dinner, it was wonderful. By adding a small house salad one avoids the upcharge of an extra plate. The bread basket was replenished. Overall, A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE in the Little Italy section of Niagra Falls NY
Still very good Italian food, large portions, very friendly.
We had a mixed experience here this time. The greeter and waitress were great, it was a pleasure dealing with them. The food was another matter. The lasagna was dry and mealy, not nearly enough sauce. Neither my wife or son could finish their serving. My side of angel hair pasta was way overcooked. Al dente nothing, you wouldnt even need teeth. The only high point was the veal cacciatore I had. It was fantastic. I think next time at Niagara Falls we will try somewhere else.
The best in Italian food with large portions. The decor is aged but clean. Friendly service. The food is just so good and special that visiting here is a must do in Niagara Falls. Family owned and operated since 1927.
Absolutely loved this place!! So much history and the food is so good, with MASSIVE portions. Never had sausage so tender in my life. The service was excellent. They brought us free ice cream for my mother-in-laws birthday.
The pasta is too too thick. I like thin lite pasta. The sauce was okay.
The food was good and very filling. I eat large quantities of food, and I had to get a to-go box.
I got an 25$ restaurant.com gift card. Little did I know you have to sit down to eat in restaurant to redeem the restaurant.com gift card. You have to spend 50$ in order to redeem the gift card. My husband is in the hospital so I bring him dinner. When I walked in I explain to the waitress that I will sit down to order 50$ of food but I need it to go. The waitress walk away to get the owner like it was a problem??? The owner comes out an ask me if I was alone like it was a problem I look behind me an said yes is that an problem to sit down an order so he says no an got me to an table. The waitress comes back to take my order. The prices on the web site an servings is totally different from the table menu. Pretty sad how an company cant update their own website. Other than that the food was mediocre service was fast. I guess they are not use to one person walking into eat ? so they grab the owner like theres a problem??? bad idea to single paying customer for restaurant. Worker an owner made me feel as Im in the wrong place doing wrong when im just feeding my sick husband. What a waste never again 1st an last time going there. I hope an single paying restaurant customer gets treated better than I did.
The hotel we were staying at recommended this restaurant. The food was fantastic! The service was impeccable. Such a friendly place the owner sat us...the waitress was so friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend eating here. The prices are good and the food and amount of food you get is excellent. When we come back...we will definitely dine here again!!
Best eyetalian food Ive ever had! The caeser salad was pretty on point. So was the lasagna, gnocchi and chicken Parm. They give big portions aswell. If you are poor and on a date you could split a plate.
This place has always been very shady from the owners back in the mid to late 80’s as they owned a building my grandma used to live in..as they didn’t want the building there anymore,they wanted a parking lot for the restaurant. Funny thing not that long later there was a fire as my grandmother and I (12 yrs old). ended up in the building as it was on fire and my grandma got stuck in side to where they had to rescue her out the window like 2 1/2 stories up..the building was knocked down shortly after and it’s there now parking lot next door to the corner of 22nd st
For was great but the service was so so. I had gnocchi that was very good, my son ordered ravioli and my wife ordered a tour of Italy. Appetizer was calamari that was some of the best is every had! All the food was great but our server left drinks empty and Tom forever to get to go boxes. Place want that buys either. If I could just rate the service is rate it a 2!
Friends family ordered take out. Menu is not great for those of us with special dietary needs. Cant have the sauce since I couldnt find out whats in it. So i decided on the garlic grilled chicken with vegetables. The chicken was bland, i couldnt get a hint of garlic or even salt, and it was so dry and overcooked it was powdery. The vegetables were hard chopped green beans and what i can only assume was canned or frozen overcooked carrots with sugar added. Friends family was happy and i didnt want to offend them since they all bragged about the food, so i downed 1 of the 2 peices of chicken. Tested my blood sugar afterwards and it was through the roof. Yep, sugar in the mushy carrots!
Excellent in every way! First time customers. We settled in the lounge for a pre dinner cocktail where Mario entertained us as well as provided great service and conversation. He obliged in our request to take a photo (we had not seen each other in over 18 months due to Covid), and was personable and attentive. He was a great conversationalist as well as a great bartender.Our dinners were delicious! Would someone (ANYONE) please bring the NY fish fries to Akron Ohio? You would make a killing!! As transplants of NY and PA to Ohio for the past 30 years, we are shocked that Ohioans idea of a fish fry is Long John Silver!!! Our waitress had impeccable timing for serving our meals and was attentive and friendly. Cant wait to return to Comos in the future! Dont forget to view the hallway of photos between the lounge and restaurant, many celebrities have dined in this establishment since the early 1900s.
This place is one of the best restaurants in Niagara falls. The wait staff is always very professional and prices are reasonable. This is a shot from new years eve. We had a very nice time and a great dinner.
Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.
Found this on a recomendation from the bell hop at our hotel Great restaurant, love the atmosphere, staff is extremely friendly and the food makes you want more walking in you can smell the gravy and it smells like moms house and tastes just as good
The main course was excellent. Was disappointed with the antipasto, as it was like a jar of red peppers and a ton of cheese and toppings on the plate with almost no lettuce. Other than that, everything was excellent.
I must say, the bartender Mario is outstanding! Hes so funny and can turn your bad day right around. Love their whole made pizza bread, great wine selection and great staff! A Niagara Falls favorite for sure! A+
Great food, wonderful service, family atmosphere. Prices are reasonable especially considering each serving was enough for two meals -- almost everyone we saw left with a take-home container! We love good Italian food and this fills the bill. We had plenty of room for hubbys wheelchair, no problem getting in, and the main floor is all accessible, including bathrooms.
I really cant remember the last time I felt this disrespected by a stranger than when I went to the Como today. I left work to pick up a quick lunch as I was on a short break. I was waiting to order for a good couple minutes when a cop walked in and waited to order as well. The worker eventually came up to us and asked who was next. The cop pointed at me. I was about to say what I wanted when she gave me a brushing off motion with her hand and said to the cop She can wait you have more important things to do.I do not doubt the cop has important things to do as well however I was on a break from my job at a medical facility during a pandemic. I too have important work to do. The cop sat and ate his meal while i rushed back to work and had 4 minutes to eat.On top of this, the lettuce was brown and wilted and the veggies were not in good shape either.Would not recommend.
My wife and I had a fantastic evening at this restaurant - if youre in Niagara Falls, NY, definitely must go to this place.09/29/2021: we are back again and had to come to Como Restaurant for dinner. This restaurant does not disappoint.The food is amazing and at a fair price.We love it and will be back for another meal before we leave the area.Awesome food!10/01/2021: if you like Italian food dont pass this place up. The food is out of this world. We know of one other place, in Williamsport, PA. that had Italian food this good and the man who owned the restaurant in Williamsport retired several years ago.We bought food from Comos to take home when we leave.Im telling you, you will not be disappointed.
We stopped for dinner New Year’s Eve. We didn’t have a reservation but they fit us in. I had chicken parmigiana and it was good. My husband had seafood cannolloni and it was amazing.
We were there today, (11/2019) it was not the best experience. There was a little confusion about how many were in the party, but more showed up than anticipated. This was a large group, for sure.You would think most places would have been happy to see a large group of paying customers. These ladies acted like we were an inconvenience. Two of the three were quite rude. They could have been way more organized to start with... (Pitchers of pop/water, carafes of coffee/tea) I asked for a pop early on, it was brought to the table after many of us had already eaten.On the plus side, the food was good, portion sizes are REALLY small, but prices reflect that. Additionally, for the amount of orders that were places all at once, the food came out pretty quickly. All in all, had the waitresses been a little nicer, I could accept some of the other flaws. Theres just no excuse for being rude. Thank people for their patience, smile and just do your thing, people will understand.
I enjoyed our lunch except the person who ordered the eggplant. It was bitter and rubbery. The bread was outstanding. The service was So So. Dont order the eggplant. Dont make the server mad. She has worked there a long time.
Went there with the wife during a visit to Niagara Falls based upon the glowing recommendation of a friend that grew up in the area. My expectations were far exceeded by the fare. We went into the Deli and found the staff to be friendly and very helpful. My wife (a Sicilian) stated that the sauce was pretty good. My wife never approves of any sauce other than her own families recipe. When asked if there were any Italian cookies we were delighted to find out that they were just coming out and we bought two dozen to take home, along with cannoli of course. In an age of fake, corporate Italian restaurants the Como is one of those places that bring real Italian food to the everyone, and at a much more reasonable price.
The food was incredibly underwhelming. While the waitress was incredibly friendly, the food did not measure up. I was served Chicken Parmigiana that looked like it came from a school cafeteria: no plating, no garnish, and a side dish of spaghetti with sauce that tastes like it came in a jar. Reservations are NOT required and the hostess was confused when we called to check. Again, lovely wait staff though.
My boyfriend and I had lunch today at the Como. Always amazing food, but I hadnt been there in a long time. Chris, the bartender, was fantastic and personable. Our food server was great as well. I wish I wasnt so horrible at remembering names! We had the Egg Drop Soup. Best soup ever! We shared the Veal Scallopine from the dinner menu and still had leftovers to bring home. Best lunch Ive had out in a very long time. We will be going back regularly.
Good food, stumbled upon it by chance. Jodi was a great waitress, everyone was friendly. Nice atmosphere.
Food is good, and consistent for decades. One gripe, is my Father and I ordered the tripe on the lunch menu and the server told us they didnt ha e any... it was Noon, so this should not have happened. When I kindly asked if theyd be able to substitute linguine with white clam sauce, she said it would still be an additional charge. Little accommodations. Like knocking a couple of dollars off a bill go a long way. Although she was very pleasant, and the service was great, nothing was done to accommodate.
Super friendly staff. We enjoyed the pasta w/ sauce and meatballs. The lemon butter chicken had little flavor and was a bit mushy. The desserts were great. We enjoyed the ice cream and had a piece of lemon creme cake.
If youre in Niagara Falls, NY and you dont get food at Como, did you even visit!?In the heart of Little Italy, this place has hosted some of the most notable local & international Italians & everyone in between. I mean, Sinatra ate here.Personally, my family has been coming here for 3 generations.Lunch, dinner, take-out... this should be one of your top choices.Oh, and try the pizza bread. Molto bene!
Went for lunch here with my son today and got a horrible experience unfortunately. He had a steak sub which was tough and hard to even bite through. I ordered ravioli and meatballs… Which was served it right in front of you so thinking it would be delicious, got that. It was lukewarm at best, including the meatballs. Ravioli was very doughy With ricotta filling that had next to no flavor was very chewy and it seemed like it had been out for hours and we were there at around 12:30 PM. Was really hoping to write a good review but this was just a letdown after a 30 minute drive just to get there.
Havent been here in years..and I was pleasantly surprised... everything is quite good. I go to the deli because they offer everything my stomach could desire without delay. The garlic bread, the salad, the sauce is all great. The staff friendly and competent. You cant beat the value either...a lot of food for the money. Just cant say enough good about this place. Yummmmm!!!
The Como was a very disappointing dining experience, especially since the positive reviews and word of mouth gave me high expectations. Immediately upon walking in, it was clear that the restaurant was extremely dated and seemed very much unchaged from decades prior. The dining room was mostly empty, but the waitstaff was unresponsive throughout the night and was very strict on making subsitutions on the menu.While Italian food should focus on freshness and authenticity, the food at The Como shared little in common with those ideas. They served cold, white bread with butter for the table, vinegar instead of salad dressing, and pasta that was clearly not homemade. While I thought the sauce was actually good by not being too sweet, it could not make up for the extremely bland and tasteless entrees. Dishes we ordered like eggplant parm and veal cacciatore had a mushy and dry consistency, and there was little flavour to speak of. Even if we wanted to finish our dinners, the size of the portions would have made it gross to do so. Every other table left the restaurant with takeout containers. Perhaps The Como at one point deserved its high reputation, but overall there is nothing here that is worth another visit.
Great place for the birthday celebration! Good food and fun.
Food was decent no complaints prices for the deli were very reasonable for Italian meals with good portions what I found confusing was the answering system when calling to order especially when youve only dined in and never done takeout before
If its good for Frank Sinatra, its good enough for me. I ordered the Italian something. It was delicious.
Good basic Italian food. Lasagna soup had outstanding flavor but when it was served it was not hot (temperature wise) which was disappointing. Pizza bread is absolutely delish. I ordered the eggplant parm and did not enjoy it. Portion was very large but the eggplant was cut thick and was mushy. I guess I prefer it to be cut thinner and sautéed with garlic. Now I know! If you like thick eggplant you may love this. It just wasnt for me.
We had my step daughters wedding at Niagra falls, and then came to Comos for an early dinner. The staff were great, and the food was fantastic. If you love authentic Italian food, this is the place. I recommend to start with the seafood chowder.... MmmMmmmMmmm so good! We will be back again next time we are in the area. Theres still a lot on the menu I want to try. One thing though, do NOT leave without having a cannoli.
A high school hockey team and parents go to an Italian restaurant after a tournament game for a great dinner with friends. The big reveal at the end of the night is that no one really liked their dinners. No one!My high school hockey-playing son didnt finish his Italian dinner (read that again), saying his chicken cacciatore was cold and bony with mushy peppers. My pork cutlet was cold, bland, thin, and tough. My wifes cheese ravioli was also bland and her salad dressing tasted like it was just vinegar.The drinks were good, the staff was friendly, and everyone agreed that the cannoli at the end of the meal was good, though small. The meal was expensive, especially for the long wait and poor quality.We were hoping for a night with great Italian food at a historic restaurant thats been in business nearly a century. We were all disappointed.
This is a staple in Niagara Falls for Italian food. Overall the food quality is pretty good. I eat here maybe once every other month. For me its generally take out from their deli side which is super convenient. The prices are pretty average on most items. In my opinion the service has gone downhill significantly over the years - especially on the deli side. They are generally not very helpful in going above and beyond or accommodating any special requests.There are better options for sit-down Italian in the falls but I wouldnt specifically avoid the Como. Its also very convenient to pick up a couple of meals on the fly to go.
Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and we had plenty of good food to eat. If you went away hungry it was your own fault.
Its taken me too long to the write this review. My favorite restaurant Ive ever been to. Came here regularly during my years in college and had my first date with my now fiancé at The Como. This place is so good that I actually proposed to my fiancé here. Big shout out to the staff, especially Dominic the manager, you guys do a great job. Highly recommend this place if youre looking for a real authentic Italian meal.
Loved the ambulance and decor. Real napkins. Elegant. Service very good and friendly. Food was great! Deducted 1 star because when we received the bill the tip was taken off the Canadian amount. No biggie though.
Very friendly staff and service but the food was horrible. I’ve heard of the Como for years and I imagined I was going to be served food as good as what came out of my Grandmas Italian kitchen. I was sorely mistaken... We ordered the mozz sticks for an app thinking they were going to be homemade. We got 3 frozen mozzarella sticks for $7.25. When we ordered drinks we asked for coke or Pepsi I believe we were served RC cola which I personally think is disgusting and would never order. Funny enough they’re served in Pepsi glasses. When the food finally arrived my girlfriend took one bite of her chicken and immediately sent it back as it was so dry she described it as styrofoam. My cheese raviolis we’re completely tasteless and honestly gross. Unfortunately my girlfriend ordered the raviolis as a replacement so quickly I couldn’t stop it. So now we’re stuck with 2 orders of bland tasteless raviolis. The server was so nice we felt bad about complaining again so we choked down the food. Overall the atmosphere seems pretty Italian but the food is more like something you’d get if you ordered Italian food at a sports bar. Extremely disappointed, even more so when the $54 check arrived. If you’re visiting from out of town I’d try somewhere else.
This place is a staple in our community. It is family owned and they all take pride in servicing their guests. This is where my wife and I go when we want, Pizza, pasta, or even steaks, we find the food to be great and the prices are more then fair. The place is always clean and the staff is very professional.
Huge portions of REAL from-scratch actual FOOD. I believe this is the only real restaurant still around. Amazing.
Good food but pricey🥗🍝 salad needs help, skimpy, needs an olive or pepperchini, come on its italian even cheese would of been nice
I recently attended a baby shower with a buffet style lunch here. As a vegan I don’t usually expect to be able to eat much at events like this, so when the salad and veggie tray appeared to be all I could eat I was not surprised or upset. I grabbed a large plate to fill up with salad and declined the meat options as I went through the line up to get to the salad. The gentleman at the end asked if I was vegetarian, and when I told him I was vegan he immediately offered to cook me something. I thanked him for the offer, but told him I would be fine with the salad. He finished serving everyone else, then went back and cooked me a special plate anyway. In a world where I am so used to annoyed eye rolls, this man’s kindness was so refreshing and very much appreciated!
Tripe had to many tomatoes in sauce and side of rigatoni was over cooked Im sure it was cooked before and reheated. Also bug in bottom of beer glass and waitress said must have been thirsty too. 12 people for birthday dinner they said there meal was good only because I was paying.
Venue was clean, sauce was good, food was really good, service was excellent. Only thing was when we walked in, there was a strange odor, I dont know if it was the carpet or what, but I have a sensitive nose, my partner also noticed it when I brought it up. After a while I adjusted to it and didnt notice it.
Everything is always great. I especially love the homemade breads, deep fried Calamari, clams casino, veal parmigiana. Many of the pastas are made in house so they are always fresh. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is warm.
Went there for a funeral breakfast. Staff acted like we were imposing on them. You know, when older people are your guests, a little patience goes a long way. My elderly aunt was talked to like she was a problem...food was average at best.
My wife and I wanted a date night. Ive heard a lot of good things about this place so we tried it. It disappointed my italian wife.When we first arrived, we couldnt tell if it was a funeral home or restaurant. Tacky outdated decor, probably the same as when they opened. Dusty af. The only other customers were an old couple. And it still took 45 mins to get our food.First we were served cold bread and fozen butter. We ordered the taste of Italy. When it finally arrived, it looked like my granddads diaper smothered in sauce and cheese. The lasagna had a Playdoh consistency, the cheese in it was like a sponge. The chicken parm was burned and dryer than Ghandis flipflop despite the all the bland canned sauce. The gnocchi felt like eating rubber balls. And the homemade ravioli was also bland and rubbery. It was definitely not worth $25 per plate.I will never be coming back. Also I advise you to stay away, spend your money somewhere else. This place makes Olive Garden look like a 5 star restuarant.
We just went for a luncheon after my grandmas entombment. Not impressed with the waitressing staff. They also tried stuffing us like sardines with 5 seats left on a lomg table not listening that we had 5 babies that had to sit down as well. It was like pulling teeth to get another small table set up because they kept saying we only had a 32 person party when we had about 45. The luncheon was okay. But very plain. I would not recommend the como. Definitely NOT worth $30 a head for water & coffee, plain pan roasted chicken, penne with sauce, a salad, & vanilla ice cream oh and a roll.
👍. Awesome food and inviting atmosphere. Met the owner too. Nice name with a story. Same location since 1934
It is one of those older restaurants where the tables are packed in and it is very noisy. It took about an hour from the time we were seated until we got our food but it wasnt worth the wait. Food was ok but only luke warm. My wife got the lobster ravioli and I got the seafood cannoli. They pretty much tasted the same and were mostly filler - little actual seafood.
Weve eaten here plenty of times, staff is Very accommodating and makes you feel at home. Food is Fabulous and pricing is right on mark. Portions are nice too. Recently had our Wedding reception there and had a Wonderful experience! Thx Dominic Jr. ☺️👏🏻
The food was absolutely horrible. The sauce was bitter. The salad dressing tasted like nothing but vinegar oh, and the ice cream was freezer burn. It was disgusting and if I had my choice I would never come again. What a shame the Como has gone downhill so drastically.
Great home made italian food and family atmosphere. Lots of rooms for parties and very cool bar with inexpensive creative cocktails from my fav bartender, Mario. Highly recommend for couples, families and parties the food and company are top notch!
I love this place. Fridays seafood selection is my favorite! 3 rock lobster tails with potato and vegetables and 2 canola for desert for $20, plus tip! Reasonable price, great staff! So glad I found this place.
The food was ok. Didnt appreciate how they had everything family style for a bereavement luncheon. Wasnt COVID appropriate. Probably would not book again. Especially during a pandemic.
For classic Italian dishes-everything from Alfredo to Veal to Tripe to Pizza Bread, you can taste the love they put into every plate. The marinara will take you back to your Aunt Bettys on Sunday after church and the staff treat you like family. Youll leave the Como stuffed and will bring enough home to enjoy it again for lunch the next day.
Dated decor friendly staff mediocre food. Not worth the price. Disappointed wanted to take my mother out for a good italian dinner. The olive garden would have been better and cheaper. Save yourself the disappointment all these other reviews are misleading. Find another place.
Took my mom and grandma here for a trip down memory lane. They both really enjoyed themselves and the staff were great! The food was pretty good too. Very affordable for 3 people.
The Como consistently provides delicious home cooked food, for a reasonable price.Im often asked by visitors and tourists to recommend a place to eat. The Como is always my top suggestion.You cant go wrong here.
I hadn’t been to Comos in over 20 years and I remember it being so authentic and wonderful. We went this past weekend and I was so disappointed...the manicotti was so thick and had no flavor...I don’t ever remember having to put salt on my pasta. The Chicken French—-was hard and over cooked and had zero flavor. I was so disappointed over the lack of quality and I am sad to say...I will never go back
This was the worst food Ive ever eaten! I ordered lasagna with meat sauce. It arrived as a brick approximately 6 in high. When I cut it, it completely retained its shape! Instead of having alternating layers of lasagna noodles and ricotta cheese, it had three layers of noodles followed by an inch high piece of cake consistency substance flavored slightly with ricotta cheese. There were four layers of this which accounted for the height. The sauce was greasy and salty. I would not even take this enormous mound of starch, salt and grease home to my dog.
The chicken cacciatore melted in my mouth. Loved that you could choose dark or white meat. Also, they have gluten free pasta. House Chardonnay (Beringer) was just right with it. Service was very good.
Consistently delicious food, a homey atmosphere, and friendly staff who always make us feel genuinely welcome. They have the best chicken parm that Ive ever had at a restaurant. My wife and I love coming here!
Wow, what can I say? We absolutely love going to the Como. Great food and friendly staff. I love the potatoes and booties. My husband loves everything else lol. I moved away in 2007 but come HOME at least twice a year. I literally have to bring my husband food back each time. The Como is still no#1 in our book. Nothing out West can compare to you all. ThanksNecey and Garth Ellis
The place was pretty good, but not amazing as we were led to believe by locals. Staff was friendly, but they were admittedly understaffed on a Monday night. Calimari was excellent, but Ribeye was terrible. They boast a bakery and butcher onsite, but the bread was average at best and the steak was poor. I dont believe I will go back next time Im in town.
One of the best Italian places in the city. Great, authentic Italian food. Very nice dining and banquet areas and the best part is if you go to the deli after 7:30pm, 50% off your entire order.
The food is very underwhelming. Tastes like jarred pasta sauce. And the veggies they gave me were completely unseasoned and bland. However, the ice cream was amazing. Staff were very accommodating and nice as well.
Some of the best Italian food in Western New York. Old world atmosphere when you dine in. Prices are reasonable. Pro tip: use the take out deli to grab some pasta and ask for the pizza bread. Yum.
Very good food my family always gets catering from them..... I made a complement to this restaurant about six months ago because my family and I had this in catering several times in the past and so when I decided to place an order again my expectations were very high due to the previous experiences that we have with the restaurant. However this time around I was disappointed highly disappointed we had a fellow union and it was pretty warm I didn’t feel like cooking and because of the pre-previous positive experiences that I had I said I would cater from them versus cooking. So I called him and asked for prices on certain items and things of that nature she gave me a certain “and I agree that I wanted this particular item and how much of quantity well when I get there at two or three hours later to come pick it up have a set price in my mind needless to say when I go to pay for the price is $20 more than if someone thinks or says that’s not a big deal but I but I agree for one particular price that was quoted to me over the phone when no explanation no apology when I get there just charges me $20 more I think that was unprofessional and I think that was rude and I think they should honor the price that they gave me they should have said all we miss spoke oh I’m sorry blah blah blah but nothing and I just just think that was like very unprofessional and I also think that if you made a mistake by giving me a certain price you should still honor that because that was your fault and maybe I wouldn’t have got it if you would’ve told me a higher price I got it based on the price that you quoted me over the phone and then to go up $20 afterI come to pick up my food and it was really too late to go anyplace else because my pick up time was minutes before we had to go to our event minutes
The food is always great if you like Italian food. Service is good & friendly.
We hiked all over the lower River and we were about to drop dead. We went all day without eating. Then we went to the Como deli and man was that good. Lots of food. Not bad on price too
Out meal was delicious. The homemade bread is fresh, and delicate. Glad we came! The egg trap soup was to die for. Service was quick, and excellent.
Great food and excellent service!If your here traveling, please stop in!
Realllllllly WONDERFUL service!!Amazing salad with house dressing and authentic homemade soup.We ordered the combo meal with lasagna, cheese ravioli, gnocchi and chicken parmesan. There was most CERTAINLY enough for me and hubby to share and we did... But, the amount we left on our plates was pretty sad. We DID eat the chicken peice and half of one of the slices of lasgna... There was SO MUCH CHEESE in this dish... One small peice of chicken.... So unless you (or the one your splitting it with) loves ricotta... This particular dish wasnt for us ;/We love the history and story and everything about an it... Just not the food..
Delicious food and friendly staff 👍
Cool establishment!! Service was good and food too. Been open since 1927!!! Very upper class looking with good prices. Would definitely eat there again.
. Way over priced. Food was very poor quality. Very small. Not worth your money, could make at home for better. Wouldnt recommedto anyone. Waited an hour and a half to get my food, and it defiently was just poor quality all together. I ordered chicken parisan. It was like chick fila chicken. Ive had way better for way less. Waste. Of. Money.
Oh man! IM so glad I listened to my friend and came here. The calimari is off the chain and chicken parm was amazing! Service was great! THE only negative was they are misrepresenting sweet tea. The cup of tea should never be presented as SWEET Tea lol
Food is hot, fresh, abundant and absolutely delicious. Menu is extensive pleasing everyone. The calamari is the best!!! Wait staff efficient and friendly. The Como is a true gem!!
The gnocchi have been very hard since their return since covid. Tried 3 times and all 3 times was the same. Not the same as it was before. Sad tbh
Deli food not so good. Pasta is like mush, salad was slimey and they forget to give your items you pay for. I liked their carrots and roasted chicken.
My family and I recently visited the Como, and seeing it was our first time there we didnt know what to expect. The menu had a good selection and the prices were very reasonable. Will definitely be going back.
Traditional Niagara Falls Italian post funeral party. They never fail. Their food is delicious, service was great. Thank you from the family of Mary Mussari
Amazing food! Truly authentic italian. Service was lacking that day and could improve. Stood at the counter waiting to be greeted for far too long.
Great food but the waitress with a blonde ponytail, prolly 50 or so was rude. Loud talking me and the other customers. Just rude. Good food tho. 5 stars if waitress was kind.
Excellent Italian cuisine!! Recommend the lasagne or the chicken parm!! Service was great!
Oh the food is so good, perfectly made sauce, large meatballs and ravioli. Real warm hearted personable staff. And the coffee so good. Very good prices.
Some of the best Italian food in western N.Y. can be found here. They have great service and a large menu. The deli is a super deal, especially 30 min before they close 😉
Website says open till 8pm got there at 7 and they were closed. Wouldn’t of mind but I just got out of work was very hungry checked the website first to make sure they were open and then drove 15 minutes opposite way of my direction I get there at 7:05pm door is locked and they tell me not open. The messed up part is I get in my car I drive away and the guy who walked up after me was inside ordering food.
The best sauce brisole is the best. Ive been all over the country and no place holds. A candle to theComo. Miss the place I go there every visit to Niagara Falls. God bless the Como😅
Went for lunch with 7 others and everybody said food was really good. They even had a gluten free rice pasta which I had.
Food quality has progressively gone downhill over the last several years; while the prices have progressively increased. I think that I will almost definitely no longer eat at The Como Restaurant. I believe others feel the same way that I do since the place is nowhere near as busy as it used to be.
Got the dinner from the deli. The chicken was sort of slimy and the gnocchi tasted like they were sitting for a long time. A disappointing meal all around.
Comos was amazing. From the service to the food this place was great. The portions were big enough that youll have lunch the next day
Excellent homemade Italian food without preservatives...perfect for people with allergies. Wholesome cooking! Been a customer for 40 years.
One of my favourites. Great food and you feel like your visiting the family for dinner. Pasta is fresh and you will NOT leave hungry!
What a great restaurant! Dom is wonderful and the service is great. The portions are huge some come hungry and save room for the cannolis are fantastic.
The food was solid. Just over cooked. Dont know if Id go back.
Absolutely Phenomenal!!! The service, the atmosphere and my God the food was Outstanding!!!! I love this place and on my next visit to the area, this is definitely a must.
This is the friendliest place in the world. They truly make each and every person feel like they are a part of there family. It truly is one of the last places of its kind. LOVE THE COMO!!!! GREAT FOOD
Food was okay for am italian place they didnt have alot of selections mother and husband had the eggplant it was bland..very bland needed some spices and i had vodka penn was good...but the dessert we had was azing was a italian ice cream was chocolate ice cream which i dnt like but this was good better than food...well there pizza bread it great wine was good but my advice to them it add some more flav to your dishes
Fantastic deli and a restaurant thats been there for many year. 1/2 price hot italian meals after 6 pm... take out!
Real Italian all the way!!!! Great customer service. My favorite place near the Falls!
Horrible slop Thanksgiving menu. Waited forever for a salad, bread before dinner. Small portions for exaggerated price. What a dump
Ive been going to The Como Restaurant for 50 years and never been disappointed. When in the mood for a great Italian specialty, this is the place to go!
Nice Italian restaurant that has been around forever. The staff is courteous and extremely helpful when choosing a dish.
Have enjoyed this spot in the past and today it was the best ever. The veal cat was unbelievable the sides and soup best ever the cook knows their stuff.
The como has been around for over 75 years the place is a niagara falls family restraunt that serves authentic Italian food and i would say that it is one of the best in western new York prices are reasonable
One of the last great resturants left in Niagara falls. Always a pleasure. Nothing is bad here. The staff is second to none. Great service
Awesome. If you want Italian food, or if your just a foodie, you have to stop at the Como. Deli prices drop by half after 6:30, if you can wait that long.
Me and my wife and Our family auntie and Uncle loved the food and your staff. Were so professional we thank you for the experience and the food was awesome
The food was delicious. The service was great! Best meal I have had there in a long time!
Amazing food and service! Thank you.
Located on Pine Avenue, you can never go wrong stopping at The Como for lunch or dinner. Good food and only a few miles from the Falls.
Food is always great, the atmosphere is welcoming. I really enjoy the veal and chicken parm here. Great job.
Not many places like this left especially in downtown
Very accommodating to our bus tour of Niagara Falls U.S. side. Delicious chicken dish too.
Very good food at a reasonable price. Friendly service. Would go back if I lived closer.
The deli is great for take out. They even have curbside service! They have great food and fast friendly service. I love the chicken parm!
The place is a niagara falls family restraunt that serves authentic Italian food and i would say that it is one of the best in western new York prices are reasonable
It was nice, quiet and thefood was good. The price,16.95 was very affordable for a 3 course meal.
Outstanding food and service as always. Try the veal cacciatore...my new favorite!
Food was a lil cold ....wanted meat balls but they had a pork mix in them very clean servers were nice and neat
Amazing food, very attentive waitstaff, really made us feel welcome even though we came in with 3 small children late at night.
First time ever went her for my granddaughters Liberty dinner. Had an awesome time, great food, great people. Great prices.
I love their Itilitan sausage & baked ziti. I also like when they have the meals half price. The Como has very good food.
Excellent food wonderful service great people!!! Gracias from the Mike Davis tour!!!!
Love their house made Italian dressing. A little on the expensive side. Nice atmosphere.
Was here the first weekend in October 2020. Wonderful food and great people.
Its legendary. Make sure to have a drink at the bar before your dinner. Vintage goodness
Very polite worked well with us as the number of people that came to my step sons graduation party kept changing while we where there food was awesome
Great food. Reasonable price. 3 banquet halls.
The environment was clean, and waitress we had was very polite attentive and made sure we didnt go with out any drinks or anything else either.
Its pasta with sauce with different names. But i guess in this,area pasta and sauce is as italian as one can get. Would be nice if they had an expanded italian Mediterranean offering
Food was great!!! Waitress was not nice to us. She warned up during the meal.
Great deli service. Great food. Great workers. In love w this place.prices are a tad high but worth it.
Lovely people and warm place, but The food is really not good.
Best food in town big portions o.g couldnt finish and I can eat a lot ty for a great day there everybody needs to go no exceptions...
The Como is a classic Italian American restaurant with family style servings and attentive service. Go hungry as the plates are large!
Absolutely loved this place! Im from Pennsylvania and was visiting New York and the service was amazing with such great people working there!!
Very friendly staff and very delicious authentic Italian food. A must eat at when visiting Niagara Falls or surrounding area.
The Como is like going back in time. Stirs up good memories when going out to dinner was more than just eating. Its an experience.
Family restaurant with a long history of serving Niagara Falls. The food is good. Mostly Italian food.
This place has been around for so long! The interior is definitely... interesting. Definitely a solid place to have some good italian food.
The bartender was so much fun! The food was delicious! I cant wait to visit again!
The best Italian food for the Niagara Falls region.
Stopped in on a Tuesday. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The prices are fair for the quality of food.
Awesome food, great staff and very outgoing to make sure you have an excellent experience!
Wonderful food and great atmosphere.
The food was ok..The pizza bread was great and the bartender was awesome..Atmosphere was nice..Food was a little pricey for what you got..
The best restaurant in Niagara Falls. Get the chicken parmigiana. Itll be the best youve had.
Great authentic Italian! Loved it. Great service even though very busy. Reasonably priced.
This is DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANTS IN THE COUNTRY!Modest decor but Excellent food and prices!
Fantastic food and big portions
Service is good and fast, but expected a little more friendly. Food is very good. A bit pricey but adequate to the ambient.
The staff has always been nice, food is always good. Ty for taking care of me and my family!
Was there for a wedding reception and the food they had at the buffet was outstanding! Great chicken parm!
Sweet Melissa was our waitress and again she was a lot of laughs. Great food and great waitress!

The food was delicious and the hospitality was Awesome .
Friendly staff, great food. We left STUFFED.
Great food,service is great,but the cost could be lower...but its the heart and soul of pine Avenue
Totally awesome, good food and very nice place to dine in or out!!! A little pricey$$ though bt good👍.
Great place for a large family get together, banquet staff was nice and always around
I believe the Comos the last hidden gem in this city... excellent food and cleanliness at very affordable prices ! Service is also a plus.
Food was really good, as was the service. Prices were about average for the area
Usually anything in NY State with the name Como would mean youre about to be screwed really badly, but that was not the case here! I actually left with my wallet in tact!
Over priced for sure, but large portions. Not much flavor. Be prepared to spend.
Best Italian food in Niagara Falls! Owners and staff are friendly and great service.
Were from out of town. We wanted a delicious local restaurant to have Easter Brunch. This place provided that and more.
The food was amazing and greatly sizeable. I would definitely visit again.
Pizza bread is great. Food was good, we went for a buffet and it was really well executed.
Good ole Italian cuisine. Large group in the banquet room, good parking, easy in/out.

2021-04-28Absolutely delicious and authentic food. No more than 7 minutes from downtown Niagara Falls. The calamari plate and dinner portions are huge. We took a doggie back home and had it for lunch the next day! Ive been here several times in the last 15 years and the food has always been delicious. These owners are there in the restaurant and check in on you. Definitely a must visit if you go to Buffalo or Niagara Falls, NY.

2022-06-30Worst Italian food Ive ever had. It all tasted straight out of the freezer and microwave warm. Even the bread was stale. The waitstaff was as nice as could be, which makes you feel even worse that the food was so awful. Definitely not worth the cost.

2022-06-09We drove from new Jersey and walked from our hotel thinking it was closer then it was. The staff was amazing and the food is to die for. I can be a picky eater I ate my whole plate. Then they called a cab for us so nice. Definitely wl be back if we come back to ny

2019-06-23Not a bad experience, but not great either. We came because or a restaurant.com voucher but the food didnt feel like it was worth the full prices. With the discount, it was worth it. The calamari appetizer was dry and tasteless. The spaghetti and meatball dish only comes with ONE small meatball! You have to order more separately at an extra cost! That is not okay.. The lobster tails were ok but tasted like they were frozen and defrosted in a microwave. The steak was a good portion but overcooked due to the fact that it was not fresh beef. The vegetable and baked potato sides were good. We were served by Dale and she did a good job, she accommodated us well and we had a nice experience because of that. She bumped my rating up to 3 stars instead of 2. Thank you for a good experience.

2021-02-09Oh my goodness, wow. The food here is delicious and the service is amazing! We visited for the first time recently and were very impressed by the hospitality and overall experience. The fettuccini Alfredo is so creamy and decadent and the manicotti was huge. You will not leave here hungry!

2019-07-31Very good Itallian food at reasonable prices. The kids (18 and 15) both got the Taste of Italy platter, they liked the chicken oarm and gnocchi but did not like the cheese ravioli and lasagna as much. I ordered the tripe,which was delicious, and a side of linguini with red clam sauce that was very good. My wife had the NY steak and lobster tails, the steak was excellent but the lobster was over cooked. Our desserts were all very good. We tried the cannoli, spumoni ice cream and the bow tie pastry. The was friendly and very quick. Overall it was a very good meal
