Sicilia
There are many Italian restaurants in this area, and we had not yet tested this one so wanted to give Sicilia Ristorante a chance. What a bad choice that was.
It was a week-day evening, and the restaurant was only at about 25% capacity throughout our visit. Our starters, some carpaccio and bruschetta were served quickly and were of mediocre quality. Basically, "same old same old" and what one would get identically or better at many other Italian eateries.
It then took them more than 1 hour to serve us our Pizzas. > ONE HOUR!!!
Indeed, we saw numerous diners who had arrived after us being served their Pizzas and Pastas before us. We hoped that at least the quality of the Pizza would make up for it. It did not.
What we received were some of the most bland-tasting, uninspired Pizzas we have had in a very long time. To us these were at a taste-level comparable to frozen Pizzas from the supermarket. Whoever masquerades as the Pizzaiolo there...should hand in his hat and resign. Truly shameful Pizza!
The bill for this "delightful" experience came to about 35€ / person. This is not at all in line with the quality we received and charging 9€ for 3 pieces of bruschetta that are, essentially, 3 pieces of French baguette with a bit of cubed tomatoes tossed on-top is extortionate, particularly in light of the overall food quality.
But, there is good news, too. You have much better Italian eatery choices close-by. For better Pizza at a better price, look no further than "Enzo's IJs & Pizzeria" located just about 200 meters from this place, and within just a few minutes by car you will find "Giuliano" and "Arrosto".
There are also plenty of more upscale Italian eateries in the area, all of which you will find easily via Tripadvisor, Google Reviews etc., and we recommend any of the latter competitors as much better dining choices than wasting your time & dime at Sicilia Ristorante.
