Imagine a Dick's Last Resort that served great Italian food and the servers were funny instead of assholes.
Congratulations, you've found Sicilian Ristorante!
I had no idea what to expect when I came in here. The place is located in the strip mall behind the plasma donation place. It's not exactly bustling down there. It's a diamond in the rough.
Our server was fantastic. He had this Mitch Hedberg like demeanor. Said things kind of flatly and stood awkwardly, but was hilarious and did his job better than some servers who also don't have to play characters.
After we gave him our order, the first thing he said before he walked away was, "Great, I'll get the microwaves started." It's hard to pin down but it was so hilarious. The fact that he broke the facade of the kitchen but did it in character was hilarious.
And it was amazing lasagna. I've had bad, obviously reheated and previously frozen lasagna in a restaurant before. This was not that. The lasagna held together amazingly. The meat was flavorful and plentiful. It was saucy without being overpowering. It was delicious.
We were the last ones out of the restaurant but even then the servers didn't rush us out. Another server who was cleaning tables started talking to us and he was awesome too. What that server said felt authentic. That's the best part. You could almost say that when you're here, you're family.
But you really can't say that because some other Italian restaurant has a claim on that. Just come to this Italian Restaurant instead, it's amazing.
