The food was superb! We enjoyed the laid-back, basic feel of the restaurant - authentic Italian style. Good value for money. We will be back!

Stopped in late, around 10:30 pm for a pizza, since many other places closed their kitchen already. I loved the older, authentic Italian vibe. Felt like the restaurant is straight out of the Godfather. Ordered a pizza. It was very good, just didn't like the dry crust. Employees were friendly. A very pretty Italian girl took my order. Seems like maybe it's family owned & operated.

The restaurant was warm & cozy except whenever the outside door was opened. I looked forward to the authentic pizza oven 🍕. Ordered a Caesar salad to start & was surprised by the fake bacon bits & tiny store bought croutons. Lettuce was fresh though. The chef's pizza was good although missing the sausage that was advertised. Service was efficient but not friendly.

Finding this gem in Montreal was a very happy accident for my husband & I. Honestly, the most delicious authentic Italian food we've had in Canada! & we only had to drive 5 hours to find it! Our kind waiter provided friendly & knowledgable service, & the kitchen provided exceptional food. A must if you're visiting downtown Montreal. Steps from Rue Ste Catherine, too! Ten stars!

Restaurant Siciliana had a somewhat authentic Italian feel to it, with a cozy atmosphere. The food had great flavor, & I enjoyed the tortellini soup & chicken parmesan. However, the chicken was so thin that it ended up overcooked & a little hard around the edges.
Unfortunately, the experience was marred by some issues. Some of the staff were sitting at tables playing on their phones & just staring around, which made me feel uncomfortable. Additionally, the restaurant was filled with fumes from the brick oven & looked smokey. You could see the black char going up the brick oven & on the ceiling tiles.
Overall, I would not recommend Restaurant Siciliana if you are visiting Montreal.

What a fantastic way to ring in the New Year! Restaurant Siciliana was the perfect choice for our New Year's Eve celebration. Despite the busy night, the service was outstanding - attentive & friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, & the atmosphere was lively & festive. We were so impressed, & we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a great ambiance.

A cosy authentic Italian restaurant. The crunchy bread rolls are delicious, pasta servings are very generous & the wood-fired pizza is very good.

Avoid the pasta with seafood. It didn't taste right, was not al dente & gave me a very bad upset stomach. Also, I was offered parmigiano with it which is heresy :-) ! The baked eggplant were ok. On the positive side, service is good, prices are not too high & the bread is made on the spot in the wood fired oven. Bottom line: not authentic Italian but will hit the spot, just don't order iffy stuff.
