Reviews for Vaticano Italian Restaurant Fort Erie in Fort Erie, ON

A hidden gem, with beautiful views of Lake Erie. Everything from the passion for their food, ambiance, service and customized... food options were fantastic! We had the privilege of being served by the Chef himself! He was a pleasure to meet with such ahumble personality. The breaded grilled calamari was absolutely delicious and I'll be definitely returning for my shrimp pastawith the truffle/cream sauce ???? ???? ???? Read more

My sister and I took our Mom here for her birthday recently. Our first time here. Drew served us. Drew was excellent. Very... attentive to detail, ensured we enjoyed the food and quickly brought things when requested such as a drink or plate. The foodwas simply amazing. All their pasta is home made and you can absolutely tell when you eat it. As a picky eater they easilyaccommodated modifications to my dinner. I had the pork tenderloin. Came out with just a hint of pink, super tender and thesauce used was unlike anything I?ve ever had. It was amazing. Everyone else really enjoyed the dinner. We will return.Absolutely recommend.

Best Italian food in town. Good flavor profile, and hand made pastas and ravioli. You can taste the difference that everything... is made fresh, hand made, and buy authentic Italian chef. Dishes are priced well. I recommend dining here. Read more

We were coming back from a vacation in US and found this restaurant right after crossing the border in Canada. It was a very... nice surprise. Great food, service, atmosphere, location (right by the Niagara River), beautiful view, excellenteverything. We were the last customers and we had the chance to take some pictures of the restaurant and the patio with no onearound. We will definately be back and at that time we will go for a stroll by the river and in the woods. Read more

This restaurant is top notch! The food was amazing, everything made from scratch with quality ingredients and so fresh. Yes it... is a little on the pricey side but well worth it. The patio is beautiful with an awesome view overlooking lake Eerie. They evengrow their own herbs which you can see on the patio as a beautiful border in the gardens. They also make their own pepperinfused oil for bread dipping which is wonderful, I bought a jar to take home. I wanted to end this review by mentioning ourwonderful waitress Fran. She was so so friendly and helpful. You can tell she is proud to be apart of this establishment andtakes pride in the food. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. She was the sweetest! Thank you Fran for the amazingservice. We will surely return !! Read more

This restaurant is worth a trip to Fort Erie. Amazing food prepared from scratch with plenty of pride and love mixed in and it... shows. Each dish arrives at your table like its own little masterpiece. Situated with a view of the Niagara River this place hasit all. We would like to thank Phil again for his outstanding service, attention to detail and warm hospitality. Put Vaticano onyour list it's definitely worth it. Read more

The service was great and somewhat quick, thankfully it was just our table and one other in the restaurant. The other reviews... here complain about the wait time but it?s because there?s only one server and one kitchen staff working. The food in generalwas great. The only two issues was 1. the portion size versus the price. When we got the calamari I was so shocked I said ?isthat it??. The portion was so small and the price was higher than the average. It was also very cold when we received it so Idefinitely wouldn?t order it again. 2. the chicken parmigiana was hard as a rock and didn?t taste fresh at all. It was notedible. They took this off the bill thankfully so I don?t recommend that dish. Besides those two, the rest of our food whichwas pasta and pizza dishes was hot and fresh and we all really enjoyed it. I?d come back knowing that there?s only two staffworking and not to order the apps/chicken parm. Read more
