After reading all these positive reviews, I decided to give it a try, and I am very glad I did. The pastas were awesome, all with a hint of spiciness (I should have known, given the name of the restaurant). Veal chop was overcooked but meat was still tender. Bruschetta was prepared to perfection - crispy on the outside, but still soft enough inside. Three minor complaints (won't deter me from going back): 1) the coke was totally flat; 2) it took too long for the food to get to the table; and 3) $3 for a side of caesar was not worth it. Very friendly service! Overall an A-.
This is a great restaurant, a little off the beaten path on Centre Street. Parking is on the street or in a pay lot. The calamari was great, not greasy and not overdone. I am sorry that I didn't have anything more high cuisine than a pizza, but it was very good, very crispy with lots of cheese. Servers were friendly and the prices are reasonable given everything else in Niagara is jacked up. The 12" pizza was 9.95, calamari appetizer 9.95, caesar salad 7.95. The entrees were priced from $10.95 pasta dishes to over $20 for some of the beef dishes.
The ambiance of the restaurant is fine, but I don't care for the layout. They have created large booths for a large party. Booths are not suitable for larger groups and it limits the seating for smaller parties as the staff is reluctant to use them. The view to the street opens up the restaurant nicely. In terms of the menu, I did not like the fact that the entrees were not accompanied by a small salad side. This was poor. Note to menu planner: try to balance the meals more. No one wants to buy a medium size salad on top of an entree. The restaurant is moderately affordable, but bear in mind that parking is difficult especially in summer, and that it will most likely be pay parking also as the restaurant has none.
