The skewers come off the grill marinated in aji panca and cumin, beef heart or chicken breast, plated with a golden potato and a house sauce — and at Fork You, Anticuchos are the dish the kitchen points you to first. Joe Mosselli grew up around his family's anticuchos restaurant in Lima, and the menu carries that lineage forward as the chef's house special. Fork You is a family-run Peruvian restaurant on River Road in Niagara Falls, a short walk from the Rainbow Bridge, and it opened in 2022 with the same name Joe and Jelena Mosselli had already built into a following.
The order path runs from those skewers into seafood. Pescado a lo Macho is the centrepiece — fried fish under a creamy Peruvian-spiced sauce loaded with scallops, shrimp, calamari, and mussels, available with a whole branzino when the table wants the full version. The ceviches sit alongside it: Ceviche de Pescado built on snapper with lime, cilantro, and onion, hot or mild, and a Ceviche Mixto that brings scallops and calamari into the same bright citrus. From there the comfort lane opens up — Lomo Saltado with its sirloin, onions, and tomatoes over fries and rice, and the chifa fried rice of Chaufa, the Peruvian-Chinese thread that runs through the menu. The Pan Con Chicharron, a Peruvian-style porchetta sandwich with deep-fried sweet potato and onion sauce, carries the casual end.
Joe and Jelena Mosselli carried the Fork You name from a Peruvian food truck into the River Road restaurant. That gives the place a clearer identity than a generic tourist-district Latin restaurant.
Pescado a lo Macho, Ceviche de Pescado, Ceviche Mixto, Tiradito, Jalea, Arroz con Mariscos, Choritos a la Chalaca, and Conchas a la Parmesana make seafood the strongest ordering lane.
Joe Mosselli is identified as owner/master chef, with a public backstory that runs through Peru, a Lima family restaurant, MasterChef Canada, and the food truck. Jelena Mosselli is part of the ownership story, which keeps the restaurant framed as personal rather than corporate.
Fork You gives Niagara Falls a clearly Peruvian meal: anticuchos, ceviche, aji sauces, chifa, Inca Kola, chicha morada, seafood, and a family story that starts in Peru rather than in a generic tourist-district concept.
Anticuchos, Pescado a lo Macho, and Ceviche de Pescado form a strong first hand: skewers for the chef's house-special read, seafood for the centerpiece, and ceviche for the bright Peruvian opener.
This is a chef-led family restaurant, not a faceless concept. Joe Mosselli's Peruvian background, Lima family-restaurant exposure, MasterChef Canada note, and food-truck-to-restaurant path give the kitchen a real point of view.
Adventurous eaters get beef-heart anticuchos, Ceviche Mixto, Tiradito, Pescado a lo Macho, Chupe de Camarones, Parihuela, and chifa dishes, all with enough specificity to move beyond familiar comfort food.
For Niagara Falls visitors, Fork You is useful because it sits near the River Road and Rainbow Bridge path while offering a meal with sharper identity than another broad tourist-route dinner.
