Blue Cave Italian

We were surprised by the quality of this place. Italian cuisine is often imitated abroad, but here everything is authentic and delicious. You can tell they use top-quality ingredients and know authentic Italian recipes, especially those from Sicily. The highlight, however, is the chef: a fantastic person who leads a close-knit team. Everyone was incredibly kind, fast, and incredibly welcoming. You can tell they love their job and know how to pamper their customers. If you're in the area to see Niagara Falls and want to eat well and feel at home, this is the place. Highly recommended for both the quality of the food and the location.

Came in for dinner with my siblings and we thought the food was pretty good, and my sisters loved the wine. The ravioli was listed as imported on the menu, which I took to mean that it’s sourced from Italy, and that is definitely a plus. My brother said the shrimp was the best he’s ever had, which says a lot considering shrimp scampi is one of his favorite meals. That said, the menu is very small with probably no more than 25 items total (not including drinks). Due to this, it may not be the best spot for picky eaters. My sister, who actually loves Italian food, thought it was just okay. She didn’t love the ravioli, but I think someone who enjoys cheese might feel differently. She also wanted the gnocchi but skipped it because it had veal in it. One thing worth noting is that it may be tough for vegetarians or vegans, since several dishes that typically don’t contain meat, contain meat. My brother really liked it but was surprised how little the waitress knew about the menu, my sister felt neutral, and I’d say it’s a good spot if you’re not picky and appreciate a smaller menu or enjoy a nice glass of wine.

Loved the food and the atmosphere. Very authentic Italian/Sicilian - the attention to all ingredients is obvious. Best red sauce ever! Also, it was a real treat talking to the owner/chef (Mario) at the end of our dinner. We live in MD but are in the area regularly. We will be back with friends and family - loved it

Blue Cave, was a fabulous way to celebrate my parents anniversary and my dad’s birthday. The seasonal drinks were amazing and the food was delicious. Our waiter, Jake, was wonderful and very attentive! What a great time!

Tried Blue Cave for my birthday and so glad we did! The service was great, we were greeted with a smile and everyone was very friendly when we walked in the door. Our appetizer was delicious, fresh, and light and the presentation was beautiful. The braised short ribs were very flavorful and my husband said he could drink the gravy. The Mediterranean sea bass was everything I was hoping for and more. So buttery and flakey. We will be back again very soon. Thank you for a great birthday dinner!

The menu looked so amazing that we struggled to just pick one item. We ended up ordering multiple dishes and just putting it all in the middle and eating from each plate. The food was incredible and our server MJ was amazing as well. Absolutely worth it and would recommend.
