I am always amazed by those long lines of people outside this restaurant. I'd be even more amazed if any of them came back a second time. Siciliana's food ranges from mediocre to average. I live in the neighborhood and I've eaten there twice, and was disappointed both times. When I walk down the block and have to fight my... more

Hands down the best itialian restaurant in bay area and boston. If you are in this part of berkley, you have to try this. Lines are long even on weeknights but well worth the wait more

Even though this place is close to home, it's rarely a place you can just drop into, but weeknights seem to be easier these days. The persistent crowds still make the place hectic and crowded, and there's a rushed quality to the experience. You get jammed into the kitchen to wait while sampling a bit of wine, and if your... more

Seems like a local favorite, nice crowd of people enjoying their food. Pasta dishes are excellent and tasty -tried 2: the bucatina with cauliflower sauce and the homemade mushroom ravioli - very well done. Nice selection of Italian beers and wine at reasonable prices. On the minus side, salads are routine Greek diner style heavy on the red wine vinegar,... more

First of all, I am Italian, so I have some experience with Italian food and Italian fantasy....here my comments: pros - the food is decent. good for an Italian restaurant in the US. a little reshaped for American taste. little too much garlic, yet faithful to the Italian origin. worth the visit. cons - tax fraud. why do you think... more

I am torn between giving 3 or 4 stars. The service was honestly pretty bad, both with the hostess and at our table, and I actually disliked the "cosa nostra" cream sauce. However, how can I give 3 stars when I think of the stuffed artichokes and the rigatoni al boscaiolo?! Those two dishes were absolutely spectacular, and they have... more

A real family affair. The brothers Jerry & Andgelo are so charming. If there is a wait (and there always is) I recommend sitting on the bench in the back, sipping a glass of red wine and watching all the delicious dishes being served up from across the kitchen counter. more
