Maybe that's how the restaurant likes it. Anyway, we took a while to decide what we wanted since the selection was wide. We finally decided on the Linguini Con Fruitti Di Mare & Fazzoletti Con Arragosta. We both loved our food. My linguini had a lot of seafood, they were fresh and cooked to perfection. It can be tricky when cooking seafood, a minute too long and they become chewy, but this restaurant got it just right. My linguini was also well cooked. Not hard and not soggy. I'll come again if I'm ever in this part of town.

It is a little expensive but like I always tell my mom..nowadays you eat at chain restaurants for about 20-30$ ... and sometimes it is crap! I rather pay 10$ extra to have fine Italian cuisine! And it is a perfect restaurant for nice business lunches! Chi voi andare con me? --- l mio preferito! Piatti est l'un de ces classiques lorsque je cherche classe, bonne bouffe et une belle ambiance. Un peu cher oui, mais comme je dis souvent à ma mère, de nos jour sles restos de chaîne nous coûtent 25-30$ et c'est parfois de la merde! J'aime mieux payer 10$ extra et avoir de la cuisine italienne fine. Et c'est un resto parfait pour des lunch d'affaires! Chi voi andare con me?

There is on bathroom on the main floor by the pizza oven and more downstairs. The waiters and waitresses were friendly, but I think we needed more of them, or for them to come by more often since we had 30 people and we were constantly in need of water and soda refills. They brought warm rolls to the tables which were divine. I love when an Italian restaurant has good bread and even better when they are served warm. There was a preset menu so I ordered the salmon which came in a creamy lemon sauce with a side of pasta with butter and parmesan. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious (I ended up putting the sauce on the pasta). It was a nice sized portion and I really enjoyed the dish. I would go back.

Restaurants in Montreal with the name of an Italian region - 2 of 2…read more I had seen Restaurant Siciliana before. It is on Rue Stanley, not too far away from the Peel Metro Station. Rue Stanley always makes for a chuckle. I have known very few people with that name. However, it's the eponymous name of a (not even) B movie about someone's dangerous pet snake. I looked at the menu board at around lunch time. It seemed like a generic Italian restaurant, with a broad-based Italian menu and not one that was particularly Sicilian. But this was at lunch time, and I was walking down the street with something to do. I returned for dinner another day. Everything at Restaurant Siciliana was sort of perfunctory and ordinary. The interior is old school and has the red and white check tablecloths. The wood fired pizza oven is visible from the restaurant. They seat you quickly and I wanted to sit closer to the back and next to a wall, to which they obliged. Since I could not find a wall outlet, they were willing to charge my phone for me. I did not want a pizza. For that, I might go to dei Compari, which I very much like. I was looking for pasta. Since I couldn't see what it might look like or what others had ordered, I settled on the trio - three types of pasta. I've seen this done before at other Italian eateries and, within reason, they allow substitutions. Here, the wiggle room is not that much (that means no filled pasta or lasagna/e) and there is an upcharge for the allowed changes. I wanted to swap out a pasta with Alfredo sauce and they did so for another pasta that is also on their menu at the same price, but with a $3 upcharge (for U.S., divide by ~1.36). Is that that much of an inconvenience? Everything was ok - one in a Bolognese sauce, one in a rose' sauce, and one in a pesto sauce - except that the pesto sauce was a little oily and didn't sit with me. To drink, I had a ginger ale. I'm beginning to like that stuff. The service was good. It was also expedient, albeit a little reserved. This was a 3-star event and, going forward, I will continue to look for other Italian (and Sicilian) restaurants in the area. I would love to know of an authentic Sicilian restaurant in the agglomeration that is Montreal. The very first Italian restaurant at which I ate in Montreal was just up the street, at Stanely and Maisonneuve. Either a Chapters or a newer building went in. That restaurant was more of a diner, which explains why it wouldn't be there - close to the financial district - anymore. Change can be hard to accept. I remember that that was also the first time I had heard the term rose' sauce. This is what Eastern Canada refers to a pink tomato-cream sauce. The middle-aged dark-haired woman who helped me had to have been from the western part of Montreal or its island, spoke perfect English with mannerisms suitable for an Italian neighborhood the Northeastern U.S., and looked like Kaye Ballard. I would have preferred a restaurant like that to this one for the price-quality rapport of the food and a Rue Stanley/Financial District location. If you are a tourist and your time is metered, I might skip this one. If you are a local, you can try Restaurant Siciliana for pizzas and/or pasta and see if it suits you.

-O'cuppetiell (frittata di pasta, arancini, and crocche)…read moreWhat better way to experience the traditional food from the Italian region of Campania than the o'cupperiell mix appetizer. The frittata di pasta will take back anyone of Italian heritage to a childhood filled with anticipation for the holidays and food prepared by their Nonna. The crocche which is mashed potato and egg covered in bread crumbs and fried served on the side with a spicy mayonnaise adds the right amount of delicious modernity to this highly recommended dish. -Montanara con burrata Fried dough formed in to the traditional neopolitan style pizza; topped with olive oil, fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, and keste's quintessential ingredient: burrata cheese. To the readers unfamiliar with this cheese, it's simply fresh cheese with a soft outer shell filled with a softer, creamier inside; they knew what they were doing when they decided to put their own spin on this traditional fried pizza. Delicious, and savory from beginning to end, this dish needs to be enjoyed with fine company as good glass of wine as good Mediterranean food was intended to. We would not only recommended this dish to the pizza connoisseurs out there but to individuals who live to discover the hidden jewels of traditional cuisine.

For years, we tried to go back, but some how it never worked out. Finally last year I went back to Montreal, and Amelia's was on DoorDash.

I thought for sure I would have romanticized the pizza in my mind and it couldn't live up to the hype. It was still amazing. Every bite was delightful! Can't wait to have it again, hopefully it doesn't take another 13 years.
