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.
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.
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.
Has a wonderful dinner here with friends. The food was delicious, service was efficient & friendly. We lingered having great conversation & never felt pressured to go.
I had a wonderful experience at Restaurant Siciliana in Montreal. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the service was friendly from start to finish. The pizza was outstanding-perfectly crisp crust, fresh ingredients, & full of flavor. The chicken parmigiana was equally delicious, tender & perfectly seasoned with a rich, comforting sauce. Overall, a fantastic meal. I'll definitely be returning & highly recommend it to anyone craving great Italian food in the city!
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!
The lasagna is to die for. As I entered the restaurant I was captured by the sight of other customers enjoying the lasagna. They were recommending it to me. They literally said it was 10 out of 10. It was not an overstatement. Second to none.

the food came so fast & it was so delicious. there was fresh bread that came as well. me & my boyfriend love trying new italien food & this is one of our new favourites!
We ordered pizza, but it wasn't very flavorful , it felt a bit bland, & there was no sauce. The crust was slightly burnt. Usually, we would ask for the bill, but it was brought to us without asking. There were two staff members; the girl was very kind, but the man's service could have been more professional.

I judge a restaurant by its service & food quality, & this one met my expectations. The waiter was friendly & knew the menu well enough to make thoughtful recommendations. After a few minutes, the food arrived-& it tasted great. We would have visited the restaurant again, but we left Montreal the following day.
Je juge un restaurant à son service & à la qualité de ses plats, & celui-ci a répondu à mes attentes. Le serveur était sympathique & connaissait suffisamment le menu pour me faire des recommandations judicieuses. Quelques minutes plus tard, les plats étaient servis & délicieux. Nous y serions bien retournés, mais nous avons quitté Montréal le lendemain.
Not sure why so many people give this place poor reviews...
Food was EXCELLENT! Service was ok except for the fact that they took my plate away before I was finished! But overall a good experience!

Restaurant halal italien en plein centre-ville de Montréal! Je vous conseille de venir. Le service est vraiment super, & le décor vous amène en Italie 🇮🇹!!
We ordered two pizzas & pasta, pizzas were served quickly & it took over 30mn & I am still waiting to get the pasta. The service was very bad & no attention to clients. We had to ask for everything's as nothing was suggested to us.
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.
