Next time you are looking for a nice night out, you’ll want to check out some of the best Italian restaurants in Niagara.
Located throughout wine country, these local spots are the perfect places to grab a glass of vino, unwind, and chow down on some mouthwatering pasta and pizza.
Here are the top five spots that Tipsy Theory recommends to anyone looking to get their Italian fix.
Casa Mia Ristorante
This family-operated spot has been serving up amazing Italian dishes since the 1970s. Their Pomodoro sauce has been passed down for generations and is one dish that you need to order at this Niagara restaurant.
One of their main features is an enormous floor-to-ceiling wine cellar that showcases over 700 labels, with many of them being rare and collectable.
Ruffino’s Pasta Bar & Grill
Situated in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ruffino’s Pasta Bar & Grill is located in a plaza and looks unassuming on the outside. However, once you step inside, you are transported to a whole new world.
You are immediately greeted with glowing candles, a wood-burning brick oven, friendly staff and mouth-watering food. With pasta and pizza that is to die for, you’ll be coming back again and again.

Nestled into the beach town of Port Dalhousie, this is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Niagara region.
