Reviewers describe Restaurant Siciliana as warm and cozy with a retro vibe and a wood-fired oven that elevates pizza and garlic bread. The Italian flavors feel authentic and ingredients seem fresh, with frequent praise for pasta, lasagna, seafood dishes, and the pizza, though the crust can be dry or burnt in places. Service is often noted as friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere, while some visits report slower pacing or uneven timing between courses. The ambience and decor contribute to a casual, charming feel, and many appreciate the value and portions. Some reviews mention downsides such as cleanliness issues, lingering oven fumes, or a need for greater consistency, but overall the dining experience is viewed positively and many would return.
Wasn't super hungry. So I had the minestrone soup & Parmigiano eggplant. The sauce for the eggplant was extraordinary. The Tiramisu was just ok. But that eggplant is worth it!
This restaurant has a cozy vibe to it & is a great place for a casual Italian meal. I've been here multiple times for lunch or dinner & it's always been a great time with delicious food! My go to is the Pizza Del Chef & when I'm feeling for something extra, the Soup of the Day is a good choice as well.
Really upsetting service :( It took 10 minutes to even take our order (& we had to ask), & 45-50 minutes for them to serve us. They were friendly & kind to all tables except ours. There were people who came long after us & finished & left before we even got our food. Every table was getting complimentary dinner rolls/bread except us, & the man serving was actively avoiding looking at us. A very bizarre experience!
Food was just okay. When we were done, they took away our plates hurriedly & gave us the bill in under a minute. It was very strange after they made us wait so long but wanted to get us out the door ASAP.
We also had reservations, but got very crowded seats at the edge.
Had a really nice time here. The place is super cozy & feels very warm. Service was quick & polite, we didn't have to wait long for food at all. I loved my pizza (yum!), & even though my husband thought his was just okay, we both enjoyed the meal. Good option for a quiet, casual dinner.

Near one of Montreal's main avenues, you'll find this small Sicilian restaurant. I enjoyed a plate of spaghetti alle vongole, which was very flavourful & well prepared. I finished the meal with a glass of Frangelico over ice. Overall, a lovely experience with attentive service & a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere.
It is a small Sicilian restaurant in downtown Montreal. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful the food was & how friendly the service was. It was a warm, welcoming place where I could enjoy a good meal, warm up, & spend a very pleasant time.
Absolutely love it here, it's the most cozy & sweet restaurant in downtown Montreal. The music & ambience make you feel like you're in a little Italian cafe. The pasta is delicious & made with fresh ingredients. The pizza was slightly hard, but still delightful! Wonderful service & atmosphere, we love coming here!
Not bad at all. I just wished the dining room was cleaner & better heated during my visit. As other reviewers have reported, the dining room was FILTHY (I saw crumbs a used toothpicks on the carpet), & there were plenty of workers standing around at the counter area (not in the kitchen). But I enjoyed my salad, bread, & pasta.
The fresh baked bread is amazing. Food is delicious & service was attentive. Had a pizza the first night & liked it so much came back for the pasta another night.
