| - In the sea of restaurants, gelaterias and bars that is Little Italy, I think you'd have to live here a lifetime to visit every jaunty establishment...but when the summer comes, my focus hones in on places with a) patios, b) booze and c) dessert. So how exciting is it to find a place that combines all three?
Sicilian's is just that...a great place to hang out pre-dinner, after-dinner or maybe FOR dinner if you've got a mammoth sweet tooth. They've got a lovely patio, friendly wait staff and, on really nice summer nights, a line out the door!
But let's be honest, the thing that really whips people up about this place (pun totally intended) is the dessert. And it's a well-deserved hype. Whether you're craving cake, pie, crepes, waffles, tartufo or sundaes...they have it all...and it's most likely smothered in chocolate, carmel, whip cream and/or nutella to boot.
But the best thing has got to be the gelato itself. Authentic Italian flavours (bacio, nocciola, pistachio, spumoni...you name it, they've got it) that melt in your mouth, make your tastebuds rejoice and then travel to your hips where they set up camp (much to my chagrin). But it's so good, it doesn't matter...and if that's not enough and you want more? You can buy your very own tub of each flavour and take them home where you can chill out on your own patio and indulge.
A great neighbourhood establishment with a bustling atmosphere that everyone can appreciate. With alcohol and coffees also available, there's something for everyone. Another bonus? Pretty inexpensive too!
