Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the exceptional coffee, often labeled as the best in Deal, which perfectly complements their meals. The intimately curated wine list rivals that of larger restaurants, with strong recommendations from regulars appreciating the rich Sicilian varieties. The cannoli emerges as a crowd favorite for dessert, providing a sweet ending to any meal. Diners also laud the daily specials, such as the linguine with mussels, which boasts unique flavor combinations. The friendly and welcoming service adds to the charm, making each visit feel personal and enjoyable.
Most Disliked
Some find the physical space of The Sicilian a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. The need for reservations may deter spontaneous visits, as many discover the charming atmosphere and robust menu only after the restaurant fills up. While true to its Sicilian roots, a few diners feel the menu could embrace greater diversity in options, particularly for those with special dietary needs. Additionally, parking in the area can be a bit problematic during busy times, although many find it manageable with a short walk to the restaurant.

A Little Italian gem for Deal. Doesn't look like anything at all outside. Inside you have the little cafe restaurant run by such a lovely local family. The food is fresh and authentic and delishous!!! The wine choices are exceptional for such a small place. Highly recommend you visit ( but please book) as its a tiny space.
