" Wow! I'm absolutely blown away by the authentic flavors and stunning presentation of each dish. The chef goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect. I had the truffle risotto and it was the best I've ever tasted! However, it was quite crowded the night I went, and service felt a bit rushed. But overall, I would say their passion for Italian cuisine shines through. I can’t recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled with my dining experience at Vaticano. The herb garden outside adds a beautiful touch to the already lovely atmosphere. The food was superb! I went for the meatballs, and they were some of the best I’ve had - truly homemade tasting. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended excellent wine pairings. I would highly recommend anyone to visit; this place feels like a little piece of Italy right here in Fort Erie! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Vaticano was delightful overall. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a beautiful view of the river. The pasta we ordered was very good, but we did think it was slightly overpriced for the portion size. Still, the flavors made up for it. The service was friendly, but we had to wait a bit longer for our drinks. In summary, more consistent service would elevate this already great establishment! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Italian cuisine lover, I’ve frequented many restaurants, but Vaticano is definitely one of the top spots! The ambiance is cozy with a stunning view of the river. We were greeted warmly by our server who explained the new seasonal specials, which were all made fresh. I opted for the Gnocchi, and it was sublime! You could really taste the authentic flavors and quality ingredients. My only complaint would be the wait time - it was a bit longer than I had expected, but the food was definitely worth it! I’ll be back soon for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having known the potential of Italian cuisine, I had high expectations for Vaticano, and they certainly didn't disappoint. The pasta was al dente and featured tons of flavor. The ambience was lovely, and while it was bustling, it maintained a friendly vibe. My only complaint would be the slower-than-average service that night. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for authentic Italian food, and I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn't have asked for a better experience at Vaticano. From the initial greeting and service to the delicious food, everything was well done. The marinara sauce on the spaghetti was rich and flavorful, bursting with freshness. The patio view creates an unforgettable backdrop. The only downside might be the pricing, but considering the quality, I think it’s fair. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Vaticano was truly a treat! The eggplant rollatini stole the show with its fabulous taste and generous portion. The atmosphere complemented the experience, making it perfect for a casual yet special evening. Service could have been a bit quicker, but we were entertained with the ambiance and our conversation. I can see this becoming one of my go-to spots in Fort Erie. " (*Curated Review*)
