Restaurant Review: Sicilia Restaurant Pizzeria

MONTPELLIER, FRANCE

This place serves classic Italian, with great food, an energetic atmosphere, and friendly service you would expect from Italians. All the pastas, pizzas, appetizers, and salads are priced around 8-10 euro, and the chicken/meat dishes range from 12-14 euro, making the food an excellent deal for the quality. I ate here twice in two days, and both visits I walked away impressed. Almost every table was taken up the first time I went, but luckily the lunch crowd had cleared out when our group of 9 visited the next day.

Spaghetti Carbonara. Creamy and delicious, it was a little different than the previous Carbonara I ate. There possibly could have been ricotta or a soft cheese, rather than parmesan. Despite the twist, the large pieces of pancetta and generous portion made this an indulgent pasta dish.

This was the antipasto plate that I ate(all to myself). It included grilled eggplant topped with garlic, olive oil, and olives(my favorite part), sundried tomatoes, grilled artichokes with olives, an arugala salad, and a little stack of shaved parmesan. This was an ideal way to start my meal.

Spaghetti marinara with anchovy, olives, capers, and mozzeralla cheese. This dish was salty, briny, and cheesy. The anchovy and olives combined with the tomato sauce to create a very distinct yet delicious pasta. If you dont like anchovies, however, I would stay away from this.

The Tiramisu. This italian classic dessert was the perfect ending to the meal. It was creamy and had amazing flavor of coffee, chocolate, and sweet mascarpone. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Italian.
