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.
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.

Very happy we found this restaurant for a birthday dinner, group of 5. We made a last minute reservation & were able to secure a table.
Very cozy & lovely decor & atmosphere. We felt like we had flown to Italy for the evening.
Wonderful very reasonably priced table d'hote, very good portions & extremely tasty, from the soups, salads, to main dishes & desserts. Our group had veal, chicken, shrimp & pasta as main courses as well as pizza & everybody was very satisfied with their meals.
The only recommendation for the kitchen would be to time things better so that all appetizers & mains are served at the same time. There was a lag between the soups & salads & the pizza was served about 15 minutes before those having other main courses.
Great value & we all agreed that would gladly return ! Thanks
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.
J'ai mangé dans ce restaurant récemment & j'ai bien aimé l'expérience. L'ambiance était calme & chaleureuse, parfaite pour passer un moment tranquille. La serveuse était très gentille & le service en général était agréable.
La salade était fraîche & les pâtes étaient bonnes, même si un peu trop grasses à mon goût (il y avait pas mal d'huile). Mais dans l'ensemble, ça restait correct.
Je recommande si vous cherchez un endroit simple, accueillant & calme pour manger.
Should have kept reading more of the reviews. Was extremely disappointed in the quality of the pizza. The dough must have been one of those premade pizza dough. It was hard & chewy at the same time & poor quality of ingredients. We also ordered a Caesar salad ... tasted like not good quality bottled dressing I got served two large chunks of the romaine lettuce core in my plate.

Wonderful meal & extensive menu. Ordered the Linguine Vongole & large Caesar salad that we split. Food came in less than 10 minutes, was hot & delicious. Wonderful server & homey atmosphere. Price point was very attractive to boot. Ciao.
On vacation in Montreal, kids were craving for pasta for dinner, saw this place near by our hotel. I know the reviews weren't up there, but figured reviews aren't always accurate. Just like my previous experience in Brussels, a high google review restaurant but turned out to be a tourist trap. So this Italian restaurant was decent, 3.9 stars was just about right. We ordered Penne with pink sauce with meat balls, & chicken fettuccine Alfredo & a large Caesar salad. Everything turned out okay, only the meat ball was kinda flaky, it wasn't as good as traditional meat balls. Caesar salads were mediocre at best with bacon bites. Usually Caesar salads don't have bacon bites. But the ladies that took our order was friendly & nice. Which is a plus for services. But the restaurant really needs some update, as it feels like outdated pizzeria in the 1980s.
Very nice atmosphere & old Italian style. The service is very fast, our waiter was very attentive. Fettuccine pasta was amazing. Veal cutlet was too salty. If you order from the table d'hote, which was reasonably priced, you'd get salad or soup of the day for appetizer + dessert, tea, or coffee on the main course.
Au Canada, les vrais pizzerias sont un peu une valeur sûre si l'on veut manger à l'européenne. C'est le cas de cette pizzeria avec des plats italiens classiques : salades, pizzas, pâtes, escalopes milanaises, tiramisu, tartufo...
Les pizzas (cuites au four à bois) sont délicieuses.
On se sent un peu en Italie...
Une bonne table !
