Sicilian Cafe

THE food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the veal scallopino with pasta. The sauce was wonderful. It also came with nicely seasoned vegetables and warm bread for our little group of three. It was a lot of food and I must confess I ate EVERYTHING! No take-home box for me! My husband ordered the bolognese and he took most of it home because he was so full. The next day when he finished it he said it was fabulous. Our waiter, Robert was a terrific server, fun and delightful, but he was also efficient and always aware of our needs. Additionally, the atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant.

I would like to mention to the reviewer who complained that he wasn't treated well (had to sit at the bar) because he didn't have a reservation, may have noticed that this restaurant is PACKED for obvious reasons and a reservation is recommended if you don't want to be seated at the bar! Really liked this restaurant and when we return to Chico I will definitely dine here! Recommend highly!

If I could give negative stars I would. My husband and father-in-law dined of a Wednesday evening. The food was mediocre but what sticks in my head is the service. Not just bad - awful.

There were these young servers, fetching beverages, that sort of thing, and they were camped out close to our table. They were having the best time at work and made sure we all knew about it. Laughing, joking, loudly, some slightly inappropriate comments about an elderly woman who had removed her dentures prior to eating her meal.

Very hard to enjoy a meal and conversation with all that going on.

In addition, my father-in-law had several questions about the menu, and let's just say - our server was visibly annoyed. So, we ate, paid the check, tipped appropriately, and left.

I keep seeing their ads on FB - so I blocked them only because I couldn't let the opportunity to comment go by. Sicilian Cafe continuously messages me to try to make it right, and I have asked them to stop.

Our experience was so unpleasant, we don't WANT the opportunity to "try again."

I have read these other reviews, so maybe my experience was just a random off-night. But for the $$$$$, I would definitely have expected a better ambiance, atmosphere, and professionalism all the way around.
