Fine Dining in the Tradition of Southern Italy.

To eat well in Sicily, you must eat with the seasons.

Sicilian Proverb

Our Story

Since 1984

We are a family owned & operated restaurant, serving the Chico community since 1984. Many of our recipes were handed down from our family who immigrated from Sicily in the 1950’s. We began in a small house in 1984, slowly expanded over the years and moved to our current location late 2022. We now offer a full bar with small plates & a daily happy hour, a banquet room for private parties, and three course dinners that include local sourdough bread, antipasto and your choice of soup or salad with your entrees. We look forward to see you!

It was our first night in Chico and everywhere was so busy! We called here and they explained it was a short wait, so we were gonna kill time at the bar; but we showed up and they instantly sat us! All of our drinks were fantastic. Our server was very friendly. Even the owner stopped by our table to say hi and ask us how all the food was. Of course, it was all really incredible. My veal was cooked perfectly. I felt a little underdressed, but the restaurant isn’t a super fancy place. You can still impress your partner with the atmosphere and the portions! I regret eating so much and not getting dessert. Maybe the next time I’m in town!

This was our first time visiting SC. We were finally able to get a reservation (which speaks volumes). Our server was Jack, he was fantastic. We had the mushrooms as an appetizer. They were cooked with garlic, butter and a sort of broth. They were a simple yet, delicious way to start. I had the scallops and risotto and my boyfriend had prawn siciliano. Both were incredible. If you can get a table, you have to try this gem of a restaurant!

Dietary restrictions: I was stunned and delighted to have our server, Robert, take notice of my gluten intolerance. The owner chef, James, agreed to provide calamari Sicilian style for us off menu. So good! And so wonderful to have my needs met so deliciously. We’ll be back!
