The Como Restaurant
Billing itself as "a tradition as popular as The Falls itself," this authentic family-run Italian restaurant has been serving the city of Niagara since 1927. With a stone fire place and plastic grapes hanging from the ceiling, The Como has an unpretentious, familiar atmosphere that many Italian-American restaurants have. The mostly Southern Italian fare includes all the classics and more: fettucini alfredo, chicken cacciatore, veal Parmesan and more. If you come with a large group, order the family style dinner, which includes enough appetizers, main entrees and desserts to keep everyone happy. The Como also has a second, smaller branch near the Niagara Falls International Airport.
