Spicy Olive Bar And Grill

Have been there before to see a show but not to eat, and will never eat there again, i had the ravioli and about 45 mins after eating it I had the worst stomach cramps ever, and was up all night long throwing up and went through a whole roll of toilet paper if you get the drift. Day after still have the stomach cramps and sitting on the pot all day. oh yea... and my gf's pasta was SOOOOO salty it was hard for her to finish.

The portions were a very good size and the food was great. The calamari was exceptionally well done (most restaurants over cook calamari). I was impressed with their reasonable prices considering they are just at the end of Clifton Hill. The prices weren't overly inflated.

The server was attentive and pleasant. The decor in this restaurant was well done, modern and clean. It was a very comfortable dining atmosphere. Although the music could have been turned down a notch it wasn't intrusive or offensive.

Absoltuly loved the Spicy Olive! Had great service and food. Our server and the hostess staff were very sweet, and were at our tables just enough (I don't like when servers at your table several times during a meal).

Will definatly come back!!!

The food is pretty good but they need to work on a few things if they want repeat business.
Wait staff should bring glasses of water to table to welcome visitors. Also fresh parmesan and black pepper would be a nice touch when your meal arrives. Menu looks like it came from a hamburger joint.
Not sure if we would return as there are many choices in the area.

We went for lunch on Saturday March 14th, 2009 and the food and service was exceptional. We will absolutely visit this restaurant on our next trip to the falls. Their lunch sandwiches are delicious and extremely reasonable. As mentioned the calamari is a must.

Service was wonderful. Very efficient and fast bringing drinks and refills.

My girlfriend and I recently enjoyed a great meal at Spicy Olive. Very friendly server, let us take the time to enjoy our cocktails before ordering our mains...and fantastic calamari! We have committed to dinner at Spicy Olive every time we visit Niagara Falls in the future..and in fact, we plan on being there this weekend to celebrate her birthday. Great restaurant, great staff, great food, telling all our friends about it:)

Food was great, no much to eat up in Niagara that's worth the money but this was.

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.

This place is a hidden gem. Great tasting food and good service and a nice place in itself. Will definitely go back to this restaurant !
