Santa Lucia / Restaurant Siciliana

A fuir c’est tout sauf de la cuisine italienne.
Aucun goût, trop cuit, trop d’attente entre les plats et les pizzas.
Je parle en connaissance de cause je suis cuisinier

Huge portions, some of the best pasta I’ve ever had, fresh warm bread for free and a beautiful interior.

Excellent restaurant! Nous étions trois et nous avons chacun pris le spaghetti sauce tomate/viande, les tortellini sauce à la vodka et la calzone pescatore (photo). La nourriture était absolument délicieuse et nous y retournerons c'est certain. Le seul bémol est que la cuisine arrière où se font les pâtes ne communique pas avec les cuisiniers du poêle à bois et les repas ne sont pas synchronisés. La calzone est arrivée alors que les plats de pâtes étaient à moitié terminés, presque 10 minutes plus tard. Malgré tout, c'était très bon et le retard était probablement dû au fait que c'ètait un soir de match.

About average "italian" food. We had a pizza and seafood pasta both were good but not amazing. Very cozy establishment but the food is not authentic

Restaurant Siciliana is celebrated for its authentic Sicilian cuisine, offering a taste of Italy with its rich flavors and traditional dishes. The warm, inviting atmosphere complements the dining experience. Known for its pasta, seafood, and pizza, it's a hit with lovers of Italian food.

Amazing atmosphere, especially with the upcoming Christmas.
Food was irréprochable!
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy delicious supper!

We were craving italian food so we found this cute restaurant. We were quickly seated when we arrived. We ordered garlic bread, the tortellini gigi pasta and the pizza del chef. The food came quickly which is great because we were starving. The waitress was friendly and attentive, she always refilled our water without even asking. The taste and portions of the food are excellent compared to the price. Will definitely be trying our other items on the menu again!

The pizza I had was disappointing. Tastes and felt like it was a premade pizza from the supermarket. The waitress assured me it was not but the crust gave it away. It gad nothing to do with an Italian pizza.

I had covid and could only eat soup, I ordered couple of soups, both yummy and healthy (little salt and less oil compared to other places) ; it was accompanied by fresh bread and butter, very well packed! Thank you

The meals were hearty and the relationship between quantity, quality and price is excellent! Nonetheless, dessert quality has room for improvement

Bon petit resto. A besoin d amour. Toilette a démolir et reconstruire. Plancher inégale, j ai faillit tombé. Manger sur une table pliante. Un gros make over est nécessaire.mais cuisine très bonne.

Veau surcuit ultra-fin façon semelle de chaussure.accompagné de ses legumes a l'huile et d'une sauce juste correcte.
Le tirimisu. Comment oser appeller cette chose un tiramisu? Je crois que c'est le pire que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Ca ressemblait a un genre de gâteau compact over sucré goûtant un peu le café.

Amazing authentic italian restaurant! I returned multiple times and they never disappoint!

It used to be very good under the old name Santa Lucia.
The pizza was overcooked. The crust was hard and burnt.
Pasta was average.
Disappointed.

Soup was amazing! It started off strong but declined with the Alfredo tortellini. The sauce was very liquid and didn’t taste flavourful.portion size is good. I might come here again to try the tomato sauce.

We come to Montreal at least once a year and every time we visit the city, that means a visit to Restaurant Siciliana, our favourite Italian restaurant in Montreal.

I’ve always ordered the Trio Di Pasta, which is a plate that serves a little bit of each of their top selling pastas - Cappelletti Caterina, Spaghetti Bolognese and Fettuccine Alfredo. It is my absolute favourite thing to eat on the menu. The three individual portions are just big enough that you get to enjoy each of the pastas, and the overall portion size is quite generous. Each of the pastas are fantastic. The dishes are kept simple and cooked well.

We brought our two small children with us this time - our 4 year old and our 7 year old. My daughter also enjoyed the Trio Di Pasta while my son enjoyed their spaghetti bolognese from the kids menu. They’ve both proclaimed that this is their favourite pasta restaurant. We had to in fact visit again even though we were in the city for only 4 days because they begged us to go back before we had to go home.

If you are in the downtown area, I would highly recommend that you stop by. You’ll be greeted with friendly staff and a great Italian meal with generous portions and reasonable prices.

This used to by my favorite restaurant many years ago but unfortunately the quality has gone down by a lot. The prices are very attractive but the food is so so.the fish is too salty, vegetables not super fresh and the toilet is another thing. Not a horrible restaurant but not great either.

Nothing good here.
Very old place and dirty utensils.
The red vine tastes dead fish (maybe is from the dirty glass). Pizza is worst than home made pizza.
For the price, you better order pizza hut or anything elsewhere.

Pizza beaucoup trop cuite, pâte ressemble à un biscuit. Vin rouge qui goûte l’eau avec un arrière goût désagréable. Serveur pas méchant, mais pas plus sympathique que ça. Prix totalement exagéré (68$ pour 2 pizzas et 1/2l de vin!)

Quand on vient d’Italie et particulièrement de Sicile, on se sent insulté.

Worst food till date. Had ordered soup, pizza and pasta and trust me all three were bad. The quantity of soup is very less and you’ll have to add salt and pepper to make it eatable. For pasta I won’t suggest any, me and my friends ordered 3-4 different pastas and neither of them was good. Talking about pizza it was a big disappointment too, nothing felt like a wood-oven baked. All together, it was my worst experience in Montreal. The best thing in the whole menu was the water.

Retour après plusieurs années avant un show au centre Bell. Pizza toujours aussi bonne mais on dirait que la croûte est pour plus épaisse.

This is a serious favourite of mine. Absolutely classic Italian food. Eating here, feels like you know a secret. Great value for your money. I make sure I come here every time I am in Montreal

Concernant ce restaurant, le service dun des waiter avec la casquette noir, âgé et petit de taille était très intrusive, il nous a carrément jeter l’ addition à la figure parce que nous avons trouver que sont service ne méritait pas de pourboire, étant civilisé nous n’avons rien dit pour ne pas créer de scène. De plus la nourriture était passable et c’était du congelé.

Their regular cheese pizza is hands down best in Montreal: wood fire oven + very tasty cheese. Definitely a good spot to have a casual Italian meal

This place holds special meaning to me, not only does most of the food tastes great (not the veal be aware), it has also been my go-to place for family and friend reunion for several years now. A genuinely great restaurant.

Pizza sèche et sans goût, sauce tomate liquide et sucrée, mais le clou du spectacle fut le tiramisu qui ne mérite même pas d’être appelé de la sorte. Ce qu’on a été servi n’était en rien le dessert italien que l’on connaît tous, c’était un parpaing. Plus jamais.

Chicken parmigiana was great. Pizza was very tasty. Caesar salad was good, needed more cheese. Waitress was a hard worker tans pleasant!

Food and service was great! Very filling meals.

Requested a window seat because I was going on a date. But it made the date awkward, because we would see the people coming in and out of the strip club next door (Chez Parée). Lol

It's a neat place the plates are big and good, the restaurant itself is cozy and the staff is friendly

Des pâtes avec beaucoup beaucoup trop d’huile, une pizza trop cuite ainsi que des aliments de piètre qualité. Je ne recommande pas

My daughter and I came to Montreal for the night and was looking for Italien restaurant and found this gem around the corner from the hotel. BEST fettuccine alfredo I've ever had, stone oven pizza sooo good and carrot cake Highly recommend

Good place to have pasta and pizza. The two pastas were a bit salty but goes well with the bread!

A lovely little hole in the wall gem with a cozy and quiet atmosphere, good service, and fantastic pasta. Their fettuccine alfredo and lasagna are among my personal favourites.

Absolutly bad
Salade de tomate lamentable
Vin rance
Pizza surgelé trop cuite
Une horreur absolue

The lasagna was very good. But the pizza was disappointing. Service was good
The music was amazing!

Wow! Such incredible food. We ordered takeout but the restaurant was also such a cool vibe.

Owner was very sweet and made the pizzas himself.

Good food! Great casual atmosphere, I will definitely go again when I have the company to bring along

A pleasant Italian restaurant. A menu with plenty of options, all at reasonable prices. I enjoyed both the pizza & tortellini, particularly the former. Service was good too. Conveniently open until 11pm for those who like to eat a bit later.

Huge disappointment.
Unfortunately ended up stopping by this place on the way to the Habs game and was pretty much the only place with spare tables which should have been an obvious warning.
"Bruschetta" was a brown breadbun toasted and slapped with cheep cheese and a few tomatoes like a poor man's stodgy hungover pizza recipe.
Arribiata sauce tasted out of a jar and grocery store grade.
Tables also barely cleaned and staff overworked, as well as the smoke alarm kept going off and burning everyone's eyes from the Woodfire pizza which we were both genuinely struggling to breath and isn't good for you.
Unfortunately it seems like the kind of place that has no love and tries to cut every corner possible.

I ordered just one pizza to take away, I was told to wait 15mns and when I finally went in and asked for my food after a 50 minute wait, my food was sitting there cold and she didn’t didn’t even say sorry or anything, would DEFINITELY NOT recommend horrible / rude service and food wasn’t even good

The food is great: my favourite is Lasagna- I think it's the best one I ever had! I often order delivery from this restaurant. The lady on the phone is very friendly. The delivery time is normally quick too, however last few times that I ordered the delivery person was very cranky (its the same one). Last time he screamed at the security guard in my building. When he gives you a machine to pay he does not let it go, so I was really uncomfortable entering my pin (and being so close to him during Covid). Also he tells you to chose between 15-20% tip (he points to it), which is normally 10$+. For the delivery which is just 5 minutes drive I find it's a little too much (especially with this attitude).

Rude Service, 1 hour wait for just a garlic bread, no apologies, WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD IN MONTREAL

Restaurant abordable. Bien situé. Bon service. J'ai pris la table d'hôte Gamberi Aglio olio. Bon goût. Belle présentation. Service assez rapide malgré la réduction de personnel. Le dessert tiramisu était un gâteau trop sucré loin du met traditionnel.

Cute little restaurant, the ambiance and food were amazing! We have recommended to family and everyone had a great time. Good portion sizes and friendly staff made this a spot you should eat at!

Wow, what a great little gem. Wish we had ordered more! We ordered takeout on Sunday night, a pizza Napolitana for the kids and a pasta primavera (rosé sauce) with vegetables. Food was delicious.

Je déconseille!
J’ai pris une calzone au saumon et la qualité des produits n’étaient pas au niveau. Je pense que les produits sont surgelés et ensuite cuit au feu de bois.le résultat n’est pas bon du tout.
Je n’y retournerai plus à vie.

J’ai commandé une Margherita qui est la pizza la plus simple à réaliser mais l’attente n’était pas au rendez vous. En effet, un air de pizza surgelée vu l’absence de sauce tomate (où est-elle? Je l’ai longuement cherchée) et la qualité du fromage qui laisse à désirer. Je ne suis pas choquée au vus des commentaires précédents dont aucune réponse n’a été donnée aux clients

L'ambiance du restaurant fait très italienne je n'ai rien à redire concernant ce point. Cependant, la nourriture est loin d’être de la qualité. Les pizza cuite au feu de bois sont de vulgaire pizzas surgelées misent dans un four au bois.
Si vous voulez manger une pizza similaire, rendez vous dans la section surgelé du PROVIGO, cela vous coûtera 4x moins cher.

Je déconseille fortement.

Ambiance pittoresque italienne, pizza cuite au feu de bois, c'était très prometteur et à la vue des prix, on s'attend à des produits frais.
C'est là que le bât blesse: rien n'a l'air authentique une fois dans l'assiette et je ne parle pas de la digestion qui devient une vraie épreuve du feu. Les crevettes en entrée: sans goût; et la sauce est servie au milieu de l'assiette dans un petit récipient en plastique jetable (comme pour la sauce soja dans les sushis à emporter). La pizza? Ne perdez pas votre temps et surtout votre argent pour ça, vous trouverez la même qualité au rayon surgelé de votre enseigne favorite. Oui, elle était cuite au feu de bois mais ça ne change pas tant que ça le goût d'une pizza pas fraîche. Ne vous faites pas avoir en allant dans ce restaurant. Le pire c'est qu'on peut trouver de bien meilleures pizzeria dans la même gamme de prix.

Les pizzas sont surgelées et surtout très grasses. Dommage car c'est un plat facile à réaliser. Nous n'y retournerons pas.

SUPER DELICIOS CARBONARA!
*Just a small note for you when you make the order to go, do not put the butter on the hot plate because it explodes from the heat and then the whole bag is in oil, I am ordering it through Uber eats and everytime the bag is so messy because of that oil.

Other wise the food is GREAT!

Had the Fettuccine Pescatore and the Homemade Cake. Both were delicious. The pasta arrived by delivery and was still hot, my drink was seperate and still cold.

The fettuccine was full of seafood and flavor. Plus, I still have leftovers. The cake was light and very nice as well. The order also came with a soft bun and butter which was a nice touch.

Great pasta, great dessert, great service. I am happy.

Great wood oven taste. Good quality Great service. The price is reasonable considering its downtown. Portions are good. It would ve wise to he on an empty stomach before ordering.:)

Used to be among my favourite restaurants but last time had a bad experience. Food was not properly cooked and also distasteful.

On a ete samedi le 25/01/2020 vers 16h00. La bouffe etait bonne. Par contre, nous avons etes malades mon conjoint et moi tres peu de temps suivant le souper. Mon conjoint a eu de la diarhee et moi jai vomit et eue la diarhee samedi soir et dimanche. Pour cette raison nous ne recommandons pas cette place et nous reviendrons pas non plus. SVP faire un suivi avec votre equipe de cuisine.

Très belle petite place cachée. Une perle de la nourriture italienne a Montréal. Choix extrêmement varié de pâtes, pizzas et autres. Prix très abordable pour une qualité de nourriture et de service impeccable! De loin les meilleurs plats italiens que j'ai mangé à ce jour. Merci pour la belle expérience!

Service was great. Server was very attentive and polite. Food was delicious. The restaurant was quiet but a little dated. The house wine was good and the bill was not extravagant. Would come again.

Amazing food, amazing friendly and family environment, great wine, excellent price and expresso!
Looking for a real Italian cantina. It’s Here!
Ive saw some unfair reviews from here and that's my suggestion.if you are really needing a husband (been man or woman) and is unhappy with your life, don't come to this place to stress everybody out. Go to a Thai or Mexican restaurant and ask twice extra spice.will calm you down and leave this delicious restaurant alone from you.
ENJOY

I admire this place a lot.theres a friendly atmosphere. The food is splendid.the service is dynamic and the crew is polite. The price is fair.extremely recommend.

Best Italian food in North America. We live in US and visiting Montreal. Had nhoque, canelone and spaghetti all vey good!

Nice atmosphere, very good service. The food tasted excellent. The only thing that we had minor problem with was that the pizza crust was a little over cooked and hard. Overall very nice.

J'aime beaucoup ce resto sympathique où la pizza est excellente et le personnel très cordial, je vous recommande fortement de l'essayer, expérience très agréable.

We stopped for lunch as we are visiting the city. We were expecting the food to be good but unfortunately was a waste of money. My seafood risotto wasn’t tasty at all and with very poor presentation (risotto with white wine then adding tomato sauce which was the most awkward!)
My wife had seafood salad which didn’t taste fresh. The only thing that my daughter lived is the penne pasta with tomato sauce.
As far as for the service, they didn’t seem concerned how the food taste like and how the customer feed back after they tasted the food. Even you return the plate full, no body will question why?
I don’t like to put bad reviews as I worked for so many years in the industry but I like at least a standard of everything.

Je me suis diriger vers ce restaurant après avoir lu tous les excellents avis sur leurs pizzas au four et je suis vraiment déçue. Ont de bonnes choses mais mal proportionnées (trop grosse portion ou trop de sauce), les pizzas sont bonnes mais banales. Rien qui ne justifierai tous ces avis positifs. En bref un restaurant Italien comme des plus classiques avec une qualité banale. Gras et lourd à digérer.

Best value for price. The food was fantastic, the wine was excellent, the wait staff friendly and efficient.

What an enigma! This place has the BEST Italian food between the 6 and old Quebec! However, between the delicious cheesy garlic bread and carbonara lies a substantial foible; the cleanliness! If the silverware and tables were slightly cleaner, this fine establishment would REALLY live up to the 5 stars it’s recurved! Bonsoir!

J'y vais très souvent avec ma soeur qui travaille centre ville service efficace et polie moi j'y vais beaucoup pour le spaghetti bolognaise quand on a le goût d'un spag c'est là que l'on va. La pizza se mange toute seule et n'ayez crainte même sur l'heure de dîner vous aurez le temps de manfer pour retournez au travail.

Nous avons pris 2 pizzas moyennes à emporter. Elles sont excellentes, cuites au feu de bois, pâtes épaisses et très copieuses. Meilleures pizzas de Montréal testées jusqu'à présent.

Atmospheric restaurant giving you the opportunity to eat quality food in a relaxed environment. Pizzas are cooked in a traditional wood fired oven making the stay even better. Good service in an old world way. We loved it.

Nicely done veal accompanied by pasta. I had the pizzaiolo which was very tasty. Decent portions. The wine list is ok but only house wine by the glass although there are half bottles available for some selections. Their red sauce is more sweet than spicy which I personally like. The warm bread is really nice. Not a romantic place but friendly with good service.

Great wood oven pizza. Classic kitch decoration. Pizza géniale au four à bois. Décor typiquement kitch.

Personnel sympathique, service rapide (répondant à notre demande), nourriture délicieuse (de loin le meilleur risotto jamais mangé), propreté adéquate du resto et des salles de bains. Je recommande ce resto

Great Food and Service. Reasonable prices as well. Don't let the old fashioned decor turn you away. It is charming! The food is so Great!
