My Cousin Vinny's Reviews
This is another, “You just gotta eat here” place! We were staying at the Wyndham Grand and looked into some of the restaurant in the casino. We found their pricing offensive. Earlier, we noticed this little place across the road. WOW! Nothing chain or offensive about this place. I house made pasta. Yummy tomato sauces. The freshest, biggest green salad. Just WOW! The eggplant parmigiana was plentiful and delicious. What a great find!
My partner and I had such an amazing time here! Our amazing server Alexis went above and beyond for us. She was so friendly and made sure we had everything! Service was exceptional. The food was delicious and gladly had leftovers so I could take home and enjoy later. The drinks were so much fun. We will definitely come back here, no doubt about it :)
If I could give My Cousin Vinny's 10 stars, I would. The atmosphere and food were remarkable, but the service......I literally wish that the service that my family and I received was the standard across the food industry. Our server, Jeff, is quite possibly the most amazing server that we have ever encountered. When in the Niagara falls area, visit My Cousin Vinny's, you will not be disappointed.
The meals are big, I got a pasta dish with chicken Nd my wife got a chicken dish. I finished mine in record time it was so nice I didn't leave any on the plate. My wife got through 3/4 of hers before she had to stop to fit in the chocolate cheesecake desert. Staff were wonderful and most tables were laughing and enjoying the banter from the staff. We went back the next night and different dishes. Equally as nice. Highly recommend!
Cool little restaurant. We both had the Fettuccine Alfredo. My husband had a drink special that was pretty delicious and I had a class of red wine. The fettuccine had plenty of sauce and it was piping hot. We had the crab and shrimp dip to start. It was just - okay. A little dry and the pita chips were deep fried which I found a little weird. The ambience was fun and upbeat. Service was wonderful. It was right across from the hotel that where we stayed. It was a little pricey, but on par for the tourist area of Niagara Falls.
We arrived at My Cousin Vinny's super late, without a reservation, and close to closing time (we were distracted by Clifton Hills and Niagara Falls illuminated ,which was beautiful). Back home in the UK, this would have been really frustrating for the servers and kitchen team, and they would have turned us away or served us begrudgingly, but the entire team at My Cousin Vinny's were so lovely and accommodating. We had a delicious meal, and our server, Sarah F, was lovely and treated us well. A really great experience. We promise to arrive earlier next time, but we are so glad we came. Thank you very much.
This was a fun place to eat. Lives the atmosphere! We tried Canadian beer and cider.. the cider is now my favorite. The food was so good. So much food, we could not finish. We had the tortellini and he chicken parm. It was a wonderful stop.
Really good food near the falls that wasn’t crazy marked up for tourist. Drinks were reasonable price as well. Food portions were huge and we shared family style. Service team was very professional attentive and kind and gave advice on things to do around the area. Definitely would recommend.
