Lina Linguinis Pasta & Grille

I love pastas, that’s why I love Italian restaurants.  Lina Linguinis Pasta & Grille, located in 111 Fourth Ave, St Catharines, Ontario, another very good place to dine in, packed with people at all times and strongly recommended if you are a pasta lover like I am 🙂  This might sound like it’s in the middle of no where but St Catharines is actually 20 mins away from Niagara Falls hehe.  Food was pretty good if you compare it to a lot of the big restaurants in Toronto or Niagara Falls area, a must try if you are in the area, not to mention, their prices on their lunch menu is are very affordable, the only down side to me is, the place is very dark inside, guess they try to make the place romantic or something 😛

Apple Granny Restaurant

more pictures added 2 March 2014

What a great find, just beyond the Niagara Falls US border (433 Center St. Lewiston, NY 14092), less than 30 mins from Niagara Falls Canada, a little restaurant which has tons of hidden surprises and very in expensive, Apple Granny Restaurant.  I was told that this restaurant has been around for years now, very well known for the people that lives in the area, everything is home made style, great servers that made you feel like home, love the stuffed peppers ($0.75 ea) since I had never seen anything like that anywhere 😛  It is a definite place to eat if you are looking for something close to the US Falls area, but beware, because it gets really packed at night around dinner time 🙂

Antica Pizzeria & Ristorante

Antica Pizzeria & Ristorante a very home cooked style Italian restaurant located in Niagara Falls.  The design of the inside is very unique, walls and ceilings are covered with bricks, but overall, it doesn’t give you a dated feeling at all, instead, it feels very modern and comfortable inside.  They do have a huge variety of food choice on their menu, not pricey at all consider the area they are located.  I was totally tempted to order pizza because of their special oven but instead I chose my all time favorites pasta.  It turned out my pasta was made just right, texture and sauce was just the way I like it.  I would recommend this place if anyone is touring around Niagara Falls looking for a causal dinning.  Try out their pizza and let me know alright?  hehe

Focaccia Restaurant

Focaccia Restaurant, a very tiny and simple Italian restaurant (1 chef and 1 waiter, really!) located in downtown Toronto, 17 Hayden St. (Bloor and Yonge).  Never thought I would find amazing food in a restaurant this size (18 seats) but I did, their menu is very very simple, but everything I tried tasted just right, for just $20 per person for their Prix Fixe Menu, you have to give this place a try.  Oh oh, don’t forget, you HAVE to try their pasta because it tasted the best in my opinion, cooked just right, well seasoned and very chewy, probably the best pasta I ever had really 🙂

beerbistro

What a relaxing beautiful restaurant with lots of beer to choose from “beerbistro”, located in downtown Toronto on King St. east.  Didn’t really expect the place would be packed on an early Friday night but it was true.  We got there around 6 and it was packed already and the atmosphere was pretty good with tons of people.  I was told one of their specialty food was actually potato fries which they use the fat from the ducks for deep frying, tho they look like new york fries BUT they really tasted a lot better.  I was also told that they even use beers as part of the ingredients for their food, something different and they tasted well.  Prices are alright, consider its a restaurant in a busy area downtown Toronto.  Not a bad choice especially if you have a group of people to enjoy different kinds of beers and have a great time 🙂
