Sicilian Ristorante

just amazing… the very best italian food that i have ever had in Las Vegas! the rack of lamb is «just amazing». the pizza is «just amazing». Service is very much fun and family oriented. generally i aim low and shoot high. they exceded every single expectation that i had. very anxious to go back… and when you do go… go very hungry!

Last night was our first time here. Hubby and I have been looking for a nice Italian place to remind us of back home (queens, new york) and we tried many many places in the last 4 years and just couldn’t find that special place, well tonight all of that was changed. This place was wonderful, the food was great, warm Italian bread not cold like some of these other places, the appetizers were delicious, and done the way a Italian place is supposed to do it, everything was on point. I highly recommend this place we will def be regulars here. Our server laura she was great too super nice and attentive. We can’t wait to go back!!!

Was in the mood for Italian food and didn’t want to do one of the overpriced strip hotel restaurants. Settled on the Sicilian Ristorante based on online reviews. Went on a weeknight and the restaurant was about half full. I’m originally from Brooklyn and am used to good Italian food and was not disappointed. I had the Fra diavolo and my wife went more conservative with the Chicken Parm. We were both happy with our selections and the taste and quality was on par with the many Italian restaurants back East. Was a bit pricey but I guess that’s normal for Vegas.
The wait staff really enjoyed being there and made us feel very welcome. It seemed that everyone in the restaurant knew each other. Our waiter Howard was great. He was attentive and had a good sense of humor.
We finish off with the Tiramisu that was one of the best I’ve had. Would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area.

Wow! Didn’t know customer service was around anymore til I walked into this place! Never had an empty glass of water, checking on us many many times and food came very fast. The food was large portions and delicious really enjoyed this place will be back!!!

I am writing this review based on a lunch visit. There are no lunch specials and the service is slow. Good food, friendly staff… But if you don’t want a big lunch bill and a long lunch, I advise wait for dinner.

Food was amazing. Highly suggest it… However, only 4 stars because the young server was one of the weirdest dudes ever. Do your best to avoid eye contact and your food experience will be 5 stars instead of 4.

This restaurant is close to me and family owned which are two things I enjoy. For my appetizer I ordered the stuffed mushrooms, they were just ok. I did not think the stuffing was anything special. For my entrée I order the lasagna as I always do. And as always, it was delicious. Service is hit or miss, some times they are very slow but when that happens they are still friendly.

I had heard an advertisement on the radio and have been looking for a job in an Italian restaurant, so I thought I would try this place. It was very good. I went there for lunch with my sister and brother and we all enjoyed everything. Laura was great too!

Went here with my sister and her roommate for dinner. The service was prompt and attentive. Indeed, the waiter remembered my sister when she worked at another restaurant and comped us dessert which was sweet of him (pun intended).
The portions are large, so taking home half of your plate will get you another meal. The food is tasty. This is the kinda place that you go to for reasonable and good Italian food.

Boyfriend was craving Italian food, so I decided to go on a search on Unilocal.We wanted somewhere close, but somewhere authentic too. Then we stumbled upon this glorious place.
I had spaghetti carbonara and my boyfriend had the linguini a la siciliana. There were ample clams and mussels in his pasta that left him satisfy. His pasta was full of flavor and simply amazing. My spaghetti carbonara had delicious cuts of prosciutto. Did I mention the plates were massive? They are beyond generous with their servings. I was in heaven.
Our wonderful server, Laura, was the sweetest thing on the planet. She was patient, funny, and gave us plenty of tips on their best meals. She suggested we get the #15 wine and it was one of the smoothest wines I’ve had. Thank you, Laura, for your kindness.
For dessert, we had cannoli, which was unbelievable.
A party was coming in who was celebrating their 50^th anniversary — this is the place to do that, because the food and the hospitality is incredible.
The individuals who work here — you are beautiful. Thank you for being welcoming and warm. Thank you for having a sense of humor.

We r real Italian foodies that eat at Italian restaurants all over the world if u want the real deal try the Sicilian restaurant the food is just like Sicily the arancini are the best you will find outside Sicily. The food is a 10. Oh did I mention my has been Sicilian

Everything was great!
The food, the atmosphere, Louie the server … Could not ask for anything else

Amazing Italian food. The arancini or rice balls are like my monther used to make. The pasta options are plenty and many of them are original or hard to find combinations like pasta with eggplant. Delicious. As for the entrée I am big fan of the fish dishes. The food is fresh and authentic. If you don’t care about the décor the food will fill your senses with delighr.

Just moved to this neighborhood, and trying to discover all it has to offer.
First up, Sicilian, which was recommended to me by a friend, when I was bitching that nobody in LV knows how to fry eggplant.
Right off the bat, Sicilian gets 5 stars on their eggplant alone, it’s absolutely perfect, and I dare say just as good as my wife’s grandmother’s eggplant. (Rest her soul)
It had all the right prep, from being all iced paper thin, to being lightly floured, NOT breaded. And while I didn’t ask, I’m guessing that they took the extra early step to let the slices sit in salt to take the bitterness out, because it had that sweetness that I’ve only ever experienced in the aforementioned Sicilian Grandmother’s kitchen.
Beyond that, the staff was witty, with a tinge of the Italian sarcasm that I grew up with, so I felt right at home.
Décor is a little dated, and the plaza is a little run down, which might bother some, but please don’t let it stand in your way of enjoying a delicious Sicilian meal.
As for the moron that posted the negative review because he was put-​off by the fact that they discourage you making changes to their preparations, I say this…
Do you tell your mechanic how to do his job? Your accountant? How about your surgeons?
The point is, they are proud of recipes and preparations that have been handed down for generations, and they should be. So unless Charles M is a renowned chef, The Sicilian is better off without his patronage.

I recently purchased a home nearby. Being full blooded Sicilian and in need of a pasta fix I quickly put it to the test.
The eggplant parm and pasta was perfect. Old school and authentic. First of all — no breadcrumbs. Beyond that it was perfectly cooked to melt in your mouth and had the perfect amount of the right cheese. The portions are huge. The eggplant portion outsized the pasta. I could not resist finishing it and busted my belly. Fresh hot bread was served first.
A few days later I took my son. I could not resist the eggplant parm despite many other old school plates. My son opted for the salmon which was excellent.
Sorry no pictures this time. When the food came we tore into it. It’s about 8 minutes from McCarron Airport. Near the MGM, the Tropicana, New York New York, Hooters, Excalibur etc.
Go.

Great food great service. a nice comfort food meal off the strip. One of my favorites and a favorite with the locals… they make you feel at home

This place is outstanding! One of the best Italian restaurant in Vegas: D
If you looking for authentic & traditional Italian food, this is THE place to go!
The Escargot is absolutely delicious!
Don’t forget the crème brûlée or tiramu are my favorite in town!

My husband and I dined last night at sicilian restaurant as we have several times over the years. This time was the worst experience we have ever had. We arrived and were seated. Our waiter came right over to take our order. I ordered a glass of wine and my husband ordered coffee along with the rest of our order. We waited and waited and waited and finally had to ask for our drinks from another waiter. He seemed to take offense to our anger for having to wait the 15 minutes to get a drink and throws the coffee at my husband and asks Happy Now? The food was less than it’s usual standard. And the over all
experience was upsetting and overpriced. We will never go back. The parents who opened the restaurant have passed it on to the children and it is certainly loss its charm.

Recently, I went to this restaurant for takeout, I really wanted pasta and meatballs. The dinner for one was over thirty dollars. When I got it home, I
noticed the sauce didn’t even stick to the pasta. A good sauce sticks! Then the meatballs were hard as rocks. The meatball bounced on the plate. I’ve never been so disappointed. Bland, cardboard meatballs! I will never return to this restaurant!

I had a late lunch at Sicilian Ristorante on a Wednesday. There were only 2 other tables. The restaurant has a cool vibe, I bet it’s great for dinner on a Friday or Saturday night. White tablecloths, lots of pictures on the wall, small bar near the front of the joint. Classic.
I had the prosciutto with roasted pepper sandwich. It was good, but could have used some more meat. I thought the roasted peppers were the best part of the sandwich. I got some of the red sauce on the side. It was thinner than usual, but had good flavor. I would definitely get something with the sauce again, but not the sandwich.
They have specials that aren’t on the menu, including osso buco. I imagine I’ll return and give that a shot, it looked fantastic.
