I went to Sicily on Saturday and Mon with different groups of people . I had the eggplant parmigiana pizza different but good we also tried the gelato and the lemon blueberry cake . Then we went to happy hour and had the cheese pizza the whipped ricotta with honey and the chicken dumplings over chili sauce. So good all that food for 30 dollars. The waitress was so nice gave great suggestions. They all loved the vibe Definitely a great gathering spot . A great variety to pick from Enjoy Chris M read more

I've come to Sicily on numerous occasions since they opened. The first couple of visits were decent and I had high hopes that Sicily would become a go-to spot, but it just never panned out. Over the past 2 years the service & food quality has been in steady decline. My most recent visit was inexcusable and I won't return. We decided to visit for "reverse happy hour" as an alternative from our usual thirsday night visit to Esca. We had Michael for our server and sat upstairs in the lounge. We were brought menus as we were sat and we ordered drinks to start, but weren't sure on food yet. Our server then proceeded to visit our table 4 times over the next 15 minutes to ask if we wanted to place a food order. It felt rushed. The vibe : awkward. The music was so loud I couldn't hear my server, my date or anything else besides the droning voice of Amy Grey. She had no spacial awareness and didn't know when to shut up. Incessantly talking over every song and not realizing that a bar gig is inherently different from the radio. The food : mediocre. We ordered steak frites from the happy hour menu which noted that the steak was "marinated". The 4 piece of tepid steak that came to our table were covered in this cloyingly sweet sauce that tainted the entire dish. Since the steak was served atop the fries, this sauce caused the fries (straight from the Sysco box) to become soggy and absorb the sauce which made the fries not so appetizing. We followed that up with a Cheese Pizza which was pretty good. The pizza here is their saving grace, and this place would do much better as just a slice shop. The drinks : abysmal. I started with a Skittles fruited sour from Transcend Brewery that Sicily had on tap. I was excited because it's rare to find their beer on tap outside of the brewery. It was served in the wrong glass. The F&B manager at Sicily needs to do a better job at making sure the bar is properly serving drinks. Teku glasses are essential for fruited sours. It didn't taste the same as it did in the brewery, however, for $6 I decided to just chalk it up to inexperience. I followed the beer with a Paloma, which was advertised as $5 for happy hour. When I ordered from my server I pointed at the menu showing the tequila listed for $5. As soon as I tasted the drink that was brought to me, i knew it was way off. I asked my server to ask the bartender what was in the drink because it didn't taste right. He told me that the bartender said "grapefruit juice", which is not the proper mixer for a Paloma. A Paloma only has 3 ingredients - Grapefruit Soda (Squirt or Jarritos are acceptable), Tequila & Lime Juice - it's a very simple cocktail. If you didn't have grapefruit soda, which is the main ingredient in the drink, just tell me that... I would have picked something else. The service : Impersonal & rushed. When i sent back the drink, the affect of our server visibly changed, almost as if he was angry or insulted that I would send back a drink that wasn't made properly. He asked if I would like something else, but my confidence in the bartender to make a proper drink had waned and I stuck with water for the rest of the night. My date continued with a 3rd glass of wine. About 10 minutes after this, my date got up to use the restroom, and our server came over and handed me a box for the remaining pizza, without asking if we would like anything else or if my date was done with her wine. He whisked away the half full glass and dropped our check effectively ending our visit. We weren't ready to leave. My date came back to the table and asked where the rest of her drink was and I explained the our server cleared the table and dropped the check. She said "I guess it's time to go". The nail in the coffin was when I picked up the check to see that I was charged for a $16 "Casamigos" cocktail. So i suppose if i had continued to drink the Paloma he would have been happy to charge me $16 for a $5 happy hour drink. The whole experience was off-putting and we didn't feel welcome. It felt as if our server was just trying to turn tables as fast as possible. I won't be returning and recommend others to stay far away. read more

Went to Sicily Coal Fire Pizza with coworkers after drinks to keep the vibes going following a farewell dinner. The service was okay nothing standout, but not bad either. While we were there, the liquor authority/health department came in to do an inspection, which was honestly a little scary at first since we didn't know what was happening. It definitely disrupted the atmosphere for a bit. That said, the pizza itself was good and worth trying. Overall, a decent experience with an unexpected twist. Drinks were my favorite part. We shared a margarita tree. It was delicious and cute. read more

One of the my top favorite pizza places in Connecticut! The pizza here is amazing. The service is always fast and friendly. Drinks are great. The 1911 hard cider is my favorite here on tap. On my last visit here I ordered the Margherita pizza for $17.00 it was made with San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella & Basil, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Sicilian EVOO. It was delicious. My wife got the Crème Brûlée $14.00 for dessert. She loved it . We had a pleasant time having dinner here. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Saturday night was so crowded but they found a table for two. Great service!!! Front of the house was amazing. From the sublime to the ridiculous however: Coal-fired wings were again the best I have ever had and the size of the app was great as were the caramelized onions. The Sicilian Pizza was so overcooked that you couldn't even cut through to get a slice. The sauce was good if scanty and the meatballs were good. Took it home and doctored it up into a 'pizza casserole' and had a decent supper for Sunday. Should have mentioned it at the time but it was so crowded we decided to just leave. read more

The restaurant was very busy during the week of Christmas, but the service was good and the food/drinks were served quickly. I ordered a seasonal Christmas cocktail which was very cute and tasty. I also got the Bianco pizza (without the pistachios) and it was delicious. I have never had hot honey on pizza before, but I loved it. I would definitely go back. read more

So disappointed. We been here many times. My brother in law accompanied us tonight at the bar to watch the England/ Argentina game. I ordered the $19 "Crispy brie" . I expected brie baked in pastry dough. I asked if it came with something to spread the brie on. She said no. So I asked for pita type bread. She brought 3 burnt Italian pieced of toast. So I pointed to another patrons plate and said that I wanted those. She the brought plain pizza pieces. My bill had another 5 bucks added for that. Lol. Anyway, it was horrible. That wasn't brie. I have no idea what it was. A breaded piece of cheddar or something Luke warm, not creamy. It was covered in a super sugary vomit colored baby food with tons of cinnamon. I scrapped all the sugar puree off and attempted to eat. Couldn't do it. Inedible. I told the tender, she threw it away and agreed that cinnamon doesn't go with cheese. Charged me the whole shebang for that pos app. $24 bucks. My bro in laws pizza was blacker than black. I showed a second tender. He said he would have never served that. $120. Never ever, going back. And we are Sicilian! read more

3.5 stars for me. We came back in March on a night Timmy Maia was playing upstairs. We had a reservation and upon arrival had to wait by the entrance. We wanted to sit in the wine room that's off to the left, as the main restaurant when you first walk in is a bit casual. Better for customers wanting a casual dinner. Nice that they have that and also a more formal area in the wine room. Moving on, the hostess brought us to our table in the wine room and I felt the setup to be a bit strange. Before you take a left into the room, you have to walk by a service area. Not what you want to see before having dinner. Guests shouldn't have to walk by that. Poor design. I will say though the actual room is beautifully decorated. As far as the food, the portions are huge. I got the Harvest Apple salad. Nice presentation how they separate each ingredient in the salad. Delicious. Dressing fabulous too. Boyfriend got the bolognese. Massive. He enjoyed as well. They have really nice wine glasses (also quite large) and a nice wine list as well. We then went upstairs for the band. Nice space. Someone ordered the espresso martini and it must be the Grande Espresso Martini for Two? Not sure however I snapped a picture. MASSIVE! We had a nice evening. The only thing I'd say is try and figure out how to reconfigure the setup in the entrance of the wine room. Not pleasant to see a server area and buckets etc on the floor before having dinner. read more

A friend suggested we have lunch at Sicily in Middletown on a Friday afternoon. I had never been so I said sure, but when I saw coal fired pizza, I hesitated. I have Celiac and am GF. A quick review showed lots of options so off we went. The place was very modern, clean with a sophisticated not pizza place vibe. It was hopping for a Friday afternoon. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant near the open kitchen. It was actually quieter there and we were able to have a great conversation. The menu was incredible. So many interesting and unique salad options, a wide selection of entrees and so many pizza options both GF and standard. I chose the lamb chops with a salad. They were perfectly cooked with frisée and fennel salad topped with pomegranate and radish and a siracha aioli. It was good. But not great. I enjoyed it but probably would try something else. My friend had a harvest salad with grilled shrimp. She said the shrimp were crisp on the outside without being dry and had excellent flavor. The salad was huge so she took at least 1/2 home. We were full but who can refuse deconstructed cannoli. To afford my GF needs the cannoli and biscotti bits were served on the side. The filling was delicious. Not overly sweet without being even fresh fruit nested in the center. We split it and still took 1/3 home. We did not order cocktails, but the table next to us had an espresso martini they were sharing that was insane. I included a photo. Service was good, but not exceptional. I would definitely go back read more

Don't let this restaurant's name fool you! This is anything but a pizza joint! We were lucky enough to be seated in a booth in the back. Really nice atmosphere, huge bar, attentive service and a really interesting menu. We shared the Mozzarella Burrata, the Baby Gem salad and the Chicken Marsala. Really interesting and tasty combinations of ingredients in huge portions! Loved our meal! read more

We recently ate on the patio at Sicily. We really enjoyed the view of Main Street. Zaben, our server, was super friendly and made some great food suggestions. He also explained they are a scratch kitchen which meant everything was made fresh. It definitely came through in the flavor and quality. We started with small plates. The Boubon Steak Tips ($23) were flavorful and well cooked. The whipped ricotta ($19) was a table favorite! So tasty! We finished with a craft pizza, the eggplant parmigiana ($22). It had plenty of toppings and a nice flavor profile. Crispy on the crust. We took home leftovers, pizza makes a great breakfast! We will definitely come back! read more

We had our welcome party here before my daughters wedding and the place handled our 60 people expertly. The bartenders were quick and capable handling the rush at the bar. Drinks were. Properly made. The food across the board was well made and tasty Italian classics. The pass around food was very good. The cost was proper considering the amount of alcohol consumed. We found the staff easy to deal with and accommodating. read more

The wine room was very chique- piano music was nice but may be a little loud if sitting close to it. We went for the half price wine bottle/ cheese board Wednesdays and they also had good happy hour deals until 6pm for both drinks and food. All the food was delicious. Pleasantly surprised by how fancy the cheese board was though so crackers would be nice for the array of jams/ honey to go with the cheese. Prices may seem high but portions are huge- I had enough pasta for at least too meals. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return! read more

Pathetic, and I will not be ordering again. I initially ordered their large apple salad while at the restaurant, and it was amazing. Every time since then, four times in total, I've received worse and worse results. The salad costs $24.00 for a bunch of lettuce, walnuts, cheese, and cranberries. This time, there are no apples included like the original one I had. What a waste of money. Don't get me started about Grubhub's service that delivered my food an hour late for a SALAD! read more

When in Middletown, Sicily is worth a visit, especially if Timmy Maia is performing. Get the YOLO pizza. Food: The truffle potato wedges with Parmesan garlic aïoli were the absolute highlight. I wish I had a picture of the YOLO pizza. It was so good the men at the next table were drooling. Drinks: Huge beer selections. 7/10 espresso martini. Service: All hits, no misses. Overall: It's the little things that keep me coming back for more. Go for the show, stay for the truffle wedges! In the summer, the patio is also TDF. read more

First the good news. The pizza we had a few weeks ago as takeout was amazing-very flavorful. Based on our pizza experience we decided to go for a sit down meal. The atmosphere is modern and upbeat. That's the end of the good. We had to wait to be waited on but got to watch while people seated after us were helped. When our server did show up she didn't really seem to care. She did however spend a lot of time hanging out by the cash register talking. I ordered the Sunday sauce advertised with sausage and a meatball. Sunday sauce evokes images of a slow simmering day long sauce with a rich deep flavor. This had little flavor actually and the pasta didn't even make it to the al dente stage. While everyone else seemed to get bread when seated we had to ask a couple of times for bland bread - no olive oil nothing. This was in no way worth the $35 dollars they charged. We went on a Thursday night and they were busy so I doubt they'll miss us but we won't be back. read more

The menu said that they make fresh, hand-made pasta daily. I ordered the Typical Sicilian, which is pasta with eggplant. It was very tasty and the portion size was very generous. When I got my ($5) Sprite, it tasted like seltzer water. When I asked the waiter about it, he just mumbled something. I brought it up again and he told me, "I know, the syrup is downstairs. I'm not dumb." We ordered a Wedge salad to be shared, which was delicious. There were two other people at the table. Person #1 really enjoyed their mushroom ravioli and the cocktail was extremely enjoyed, as well as the gelato for dessert. Person #2 got the BLT Wrap. He said that there wasn't much bacon. He got potato fries with it and they were thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. He requested mayo to go with the fries and was charged $2 extra. We got the Sicily 'Doughnuts' for dessert, which we all liked. read more

Misha treated us like royalty AGAIN in the wine bar. Her attention to the tiniest details is always impressive and appreciated. Asking if we wanted a martini strained or not. Just so detail-focused and even with a 20-person party right next to us, she's upbeat and cheerful. We loved her effort to take care of us on a busy night. The pasta (caccio e pepe) was OMG amazing. The bacon-wrapped shrimp was so memorable. Great night! read more

Great location and atmosphere. not crowded when we met family for lunch. Order arrived all at once. waited for the Mozz sticks. 15 mins after food arrived I told server to skip the mozz sticks she said oh they didn't come out they are prob in the window. I said that's ok we are almost done. she said I'll get them to go, I said that's ok. she brought them out to go w check. I ordered them for the meal. They were soggy and hard by the time we got home. Pushy. Poor service and rude. tipped on the total but regretted not being more forceful in saying NO to the very late order that was NOT to go. We won't be back. And neither will our guests. read more

My work team and I got sandwiches as a celebration! While people ordered a variety, I got the hot honey chicken sandwich (others got the meatball, or muffuletta or chicken parm). Almost everyone on our team was stuffed after only eating half of their sandwich. The bread was fresh and fluffy while having a great crunch. The fries were good, but not very crispy. The sandwiches, while called in ahead of time, were also a bit late on being ready. read more

Excellent pizza, pasta and salads. The later is the best. Cannit beat the size. Feeds 3. Service was attentive. Price was very reasonable.

I come here often as I work in the area and enjoy their pizza. However, this review is because of the service I had today. I had 20 minutes to get a quick bite to eat, and I called them asking about how long for the soup of the day. They said it's pretty much ready and wouldn't be more than five minutes. So I go over a couple of minutes later and they tell me to hold on due to an issue on their computer. After about 10 minutes waiting, I politely asked "excuse me, is the soup ready?" And someone in an aggressive and annoyed tone passes me my bag of food and says "here. Have a nice day. " no sorry for the wait, no "hey just take it because this issue is our fault" , just aggression as if it was my fault? Normally, I don't leave negative reviews but to a place that has good food and I try to visit often to support a local business. It does not seem right to treat your customers this way based off your own internal issues... I will probably come back because this was just one person . but please know that the service here cannot be the best . read more

My brother and I decided to come here for my birthday lunch. The restaurant is huge and has a decked out bar. We were immediately seated and are server was quick to come to our table. She came with complimentary bread with a some sort of vegetable spread, which was okay. We ordered a Half Cheese and Pepperoni pizza and my brother had a glass of Merlot. The pizza was good but as I kept biting into my pizza I just tasted a mass amount of oil coming from pizza. The pizza had great crispiness and great flavor but the oil after bite wasn't working for me, although the pizza didn't appear oily when coming out. Our waitress was very pleasant and customer service was great. She was attentive and the restaurant is definitely a vibe. The three star isn't for the customer service but rather the pizza. read more

I have been dragged here multiple times and it is always the same outcome. The bartenders are friendly, drinks are not good. Order a wine....

With so many other options in Middletown don't waste your time going here... at least not for food. read more

Great pizza and menu. Parking is hard to get if you are just to pickup orders. Give yourself enough time to park and walk in. Pickup by kitchen gets a bit busy but helpful service. Off menu items they don't have readily made can take some time. Waited for wings and added 25mins to wait time to payout. Pizza was room temp when I got home but still not bad when you reheat on a pizza stone at home. Priced fair, but if not for the delay in pickup and parking, would rate higher. They are busy, so plan accordingly! read more

Oh my. This place is fabulous! The menu offers a LOT of options. We were impressed with the ingredients, the care & talents of the chef and staff. The mozerella cheese on the pizza is of high quality; not oily. The parpadelle, like all the pasta, is hand rolled. The 40-hour short rib feeds two people for a few days (well worth the price), the calamari won my husband over (and he is old school Italian). The broccoli rabe & sausage sandwich is enough for two or three people! We will definitely be back, with family and friends!! Great value for the price paid! And our server Lexi was SO genuine and friendly! GREAT dining experience! read more

Sometimes the big showy is a red flag. Good food, yet nothing that would beg me to return. Pizza, good by Middletown standards, coming from someone who lives in New Haven. Eggplant Frites tasty but as you get to the layers underneath the top they become soggy and oil soaked. Too much lavender honey which is a nice compliment but a little can go a long way. Brussels spout dish was good. Again...food was good but nothing I would run back to. We sat in the "wine bar" side which is nicely decorated in "hey, I'm ultra Italian goomba" style. They're just missing the statue of an angel pissing into a fountain. Piano playing great music which is a nice touch to the ambiences. Misha? Commands a well run bar, yet the small touches that separate a wine bar from a bar that has a ton of name brand wines need attention. Water glasses should be filled continuously until the patron states that they are done. Wine glasses, if a bottle of wine is purchased, anytime the server walks by should automatically refill/pour a glass. In other words, the glass should never be empty. Wine pricing is all over the place. $22/6oz pour of an other wise $20 retail bottle of white wine is kinda ludicrous, but bills have to be paid and food costs are high even at the wholesale level. I get that. Otherwise, nice place to try out once or meet up with friends while out in Middletown. My cautionary tale would be, watch out that you don't become another Cava in Bristol. read more
