The Sicilian II

The food here is not very flavorful. The reviews made it seem amazing, but I have had better Italian food in most other places. The mozzarella stick are good, but I don’t think its even worth it to go back. I don’t understand what everyone is raving about. Prefer 2 pizzas (1 gf, 1 reg), a side salad, mozzarella sticks, an entree of ravioli (not gf) and chocolate mousse and it was $86! If you want good gf food on the coast, skip this place.

Wish we lived here so I could eat here all the time! Went based on reviews and so glad we did. Very friendly service, quaint setting with GF items clearly marked on the menu. They have a family member with Celiac so they take precautions seriously. Had GF mozzarella sticks for real! Also, almost all of their pasta dishes can be made GF. Their alfredo sauce is naturally GF. Everything we had was top notch. Absolutely delicious!!!

My pasta was delicious, best tasting and textured GF pasta I’ve ever had. They did let me know it would be a bit longer for GF since I was the first customer of the day (about 20 minutes extra) but I was in no rush and it was certainly worth the wait. The mozz sticks were really good too. Staff is kind and very knowledgeable. Chef has Celiac so they are very aware of cross contamination. Highly recommend!!!!

Chef Chris is a Celiac and so am I. I ate the best Italian meal in his establishment I've ever eaten, and didn't get sick at all. Can't wait to visit again!!

I ate here for the first time yesterday and have not had a reaction yet. I ordered the cheese sticks and a pepperoni pizza and it was very good. First time I’ve had cheese sticks in several years. The chef has celiac so I felt very comfortable eating here despite regular pizzas also being made in the kitchen

The only thing better than the quality of the food was the fantastic service. The mozzarella sticks were amazing.

Food was good. Service was good. I have Celiac and thought I was safe because chef also has Celiac. I was wrong. Within an hour I was so sick I knew I had been gluten. I will not be going back. I will keep with my safe places.

Celiac friendly?

No

The chef is Celiac! We had the GF chicken cacciatore without the onion or peppers (they are GF but not my preference) and chicken parmigiana.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’m celiac and super sensitive. Great meal with no problems. As for the food? Oh my goodness!! It was incredible. Put the gluten issue aside and just focus on the old family recipes re-imagined and crafted for family members with celiac. I haven’t had Italian food quite this good in many years... and I’ve dined in the Sicilian influenced Island, Malta. I rarely do reviews, but they deserve every star and word written.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was amazing. First time eating here and my wife was able to enjoy most of the menu. I think her favorite was the gluten free mozzarella sticks. Definetly recomend to anyone. Food and service was amazing

Celiac friendly?

Yes

After reading on previous post that the owner had celiac, I had to try it. It was wonderful. We had fried mozzarella sticks and antipasto. Then I had the Shrimp Alfonso. Yum 😃. The owner came out and talked to us and told us his story. They have other pasta dishes that can be made GF and meatballs! I will definitely go back (even with the 40 minute drive).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was the best italian food ive ever had in my life outside of italy. Fit for a king! I was ecstatic to find gluten free mozzarella sticks and alfredo sauce!! Who doesnt love white sauce!?

AMAZING and vitally rare! Everything here is family recipes and made from scratch and the owner has Celiac Disease so he modified many recipes to be gluten free! They are the only ones around with gluten free Alfredo sauce, meatballs, chicken Parmesan, mozzarella sticks, pastas and so much more! It’s so great having an Italian restaurant that actually KNOWS what a celiac patient needs!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
