While my husband and I were dining there. Several couples and families walked up (I'm sure they read the rave reviews on Trip Advisor) but ended up leaving because the place is so tacky. There are a couple of neon beer signs in the window and it is literally part of a Super 8 motel!! But the food is truly... More

Small but authentic little Italian restaurant worth while visiting on the US side of the falls (there are not too many good options to choose from...).

We had reservations at 8 and when we arrived we were asked to wait 10 mins to be seated. We waited for 45 minutes. The problem is not the wait. It's the way the staff ignores us. They never even looked our way. Do not offer a glass of water or an apology or any kind if consideration for wasting... More

Hello Readers. Let me first say, that I am a firm believer of TripAdvisor. Reading the reviews has never lead me wrong. That being said. I was in Niagara Falls for a seminar. I read the reviews of restaurants in the area. Villella was #1. So I said to my wife, lets go. We had an awesome dinner. It is... More

My husband and I ate here last night. It was such a wonderful experience. It's small and you feel like you are visiting someone's house. I love the effect of being able to see the guys cook in the kitchen. The food was some of the best Itilian we have had. And that is saying a lot since we are... More

This is a small restaurant (only 7 tables) not run by a chain. The service was welcoming and friendly - and REAL Italian! The food wasn't quite as Italian as it was quite 'americanised' but tasty nonetheless. The portions were HUGE. We love eating in Italy and this restaurant didn't quite match this, but was one of the best restaurants... More

Visiting off- season during tremendously miserable weather, dinner at Vilella's transformed our weekend in Niagara Falls, NY into a memorable one! What is deceptive appearance-wise (located in a small space in front of the Super 8), disguises a wonderful haven of incredible food! The welcoming demeanor of the friendly staff made us feel like guests in a family home! Each... More

Reservations are required for a seat in this tiny restaurant in Niagara Falls' Super 8 Motel 1 mile or so from the falls. The place is small-seats about 24 guests-and the only table empty was ours-waiting for us! Mike was thrilled with traditional Italian and ordered the lasagna. I ordered eggplant-breaded (-I can't resist it!) and rigatoni-cooked perfectly al dente.... More

The staff at the hotel we stayed at, recommended this very small, authentic italian restaurant. We arrived at 5pm on a weeknight without a reservation on a cold snowy night and were lucky to be seated! The food was excellent, portions were generous and the staff were friendly. Definitely recommend you check it out!
