Nice big restaurant. Great selection of mains from pizzas, pasta, salads and bbq. Good size portions. A tad expensive though. But food was delicious. The chips under the ribs were perfect, crispy and well seasoned. Would definately come back.
Visited few times.. pumpkin ravioli with goat cheese is fantastic. Woodfire pizza is good.
Amazing Italian restaurant with great service and food. My pasta was very tasty and i thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be back for more food!!
We came for lunch on a Sunday so it wasn’t too busy. The wait time for the food was reasonable and service was as you’d expect. Nice ambience.
Kid’s pizza is a bit too big for a kid, don’t know how they think a child can eat a pizza that big.
Ravioli serving size was pretty small considering the price. Gnocchi tasted amazing. Margherita pizza was decent but I expected better from a restaurant with such a big emphasis on being Italian. Layer of cheese was just way too thick and of course once the pizza cools down the cheese hardens so its a thick slab of cheese on a thin base. Not bad, but not good either.
I would probably come back but it wouldn’t be my first option. There wasn’t really anything exciting about the food that leaves me craving for more.

Here you can enjoy eating delicious pastas, pizzas and many more tasty dishes outside in comfortable surroundings or enjoy your amazing fare inside amongst the decorative décor. The food is fresh, colourful, beautifully presented and it all really tastes oh so good!. To start with Mlday eyed the cocktail list and decided on a Cosmopolitan. She loves the combo of this – Vodka shaken with Cointreau, fresh lime and cranberry juice. She really enjoyed this so much that she had a another one!
Been here a couple times for lunch and I always order from the express lunch menu! Ive tried the veal bosciola, lamb pasta and fettuccini carbonara. The quality is great, portions are always so filling and service is quick! The staff are very friendly. If you choose an item on the express lunch menu, you can get a complimentary soft drink!! Go to Italian fix for my colleagues and I in Parramatta.
If you live in the Parramatta area and you are craving Italian food, the Sicilian Parramatta is definitely the place to eat. It’s Italian food with an Australian twist but nonetheless tasty and well done. Highlights were the seafood dishes and the pizza. #pizza #seafood #italianfood #ravioli
Came here for lunch and we took advantage of their lunch specials. Pricewise, it’s very reasonable (under $20) and you’ll get complimentary wine or soft drink.
We ordered Peperoncino Pollo Pizza, Fettucine Geraldo and Sirloin Steak. My personal favourite is the pizza. A bit spicy and the sauce was tasty.
The restaurant itself is very spacious and can easily accommodate large group of customers.
This place serves awesome pasta and pizza. The place has good amount of space with friendly staffs, quick service and you don't feel rushed. Recomended for pasta and risotto lovers. Chicken and mushroom risotto with pesto sauce is a must try.
I loved this place the wait staff were friendly and helpful. Our table was in a spot that was a little out of the way, but, that didn’t matter the wait staff never forgot about us and were still very attentive!
The food was just delicious we had the “pane dips” As an entree which was pizza bread and a trio of dips (beetroot, hummus and olive). Yumm! I wish there was more of the bread so good!
My friend had the Fettuccine Gamberi and I had the Penne Alla Norma. They were just divine! The wine choices were fantastic too! Can’t wait to come back here again!
Decent and attentive service. Ravioli, Pasta and Rissotto are great BUT, the restaurant lost 1 star as the Pizza was very average. Recommended.
Very good quality food. Very good service. I had the Moreton Bay Bugs. The servicing was very generous. It would have been five star except my friend asked for his steak blue. First steak delivered was well done, second medium rare. Didn’t send it back a third time. At least he said it was a great tasting steak.
Great italian atmosphere and food, pastas and calzone were great. The service was the best. I will be definitely coming back for more. :) :)
Love the food and the customer service is not bad as well the only thing is the menu is too old and boring they need to update it and add more things
My favourite things at an Italian restaurant - wood fire pizza, fresh basil, olive oil in its proper container and beer - this place had it all! Furthermore the waiter was attentive and polite. I highly recommend!
Sicilian is a restaurant on Church Street, Parramatta. The restaurant is quite spacious and has a good atmosphere. The service is decent but is worth it as the food tastes very nice. The meals are quite pricey but is compensated by the quality of the food.

Good Atmosphere, Great Service, Delicious Food
I took my family to this restaurant because I had guests from London. As we stepped in we were greeted by a professional waiter or door man who was very respectful and without delay, he checked our name on the guest list and took us to our table.
We then ordered some drinks to start the night and then we ordered our meals.
The restaurants had a lot of people however there WAS ALWAYS waiters available to take orders and assist their customers.
service - undeniably perfect. always waiters around to assist. even the young staff were able to recommended a good wine. all of them were friendly and professional.
Food - wow the food was just melting in your mouth. it was delicious and full of flavour. we ordered, pizza, seafood, meat and chicken and there was no complaints. food came and everyone went quiet and were actually surprised at how much flavour there was.
Value - compared to the restaurants in the area, the value was in line with other restaurants yet one advantage with this restaurant was it had professional service, good food and great atmosphere.
Atmosphere - there was a lot of people in this restaurants. I saw friends catching up, families, boys / girls night out and there was even mothers with their kids there having dinner. everyone seemed like they were enjoying themselves. It was a all round great atmosphere.
Merry Christmas to the team @ Sicilian Parramatta,
Thank you very much for hosting our Fonality Team Christmas Luncheon.
Your impressive food are amazing - We hope you all enjoy your holidays.

Had dinner here just last night with my lovely MIL to celebrate birthday. We made a booking, and was accommodated very well. The ambiance was really nice and cozy, I loved their decore and mostly, I love the garden that they made thru the glass wall on one side of the resto which was just so refreshing to look at. It creates a great ambiance loved it.
The service was really nice, they'll we'lcome you nicely, they look very tidy and they are very polite. They also check on how food was, and when our water was finished, they gave us another one which I find good , coz then we don't have to sort of look for one of them and tell them that we need one.
For drinks we ordered the lime and the passion fruit mocktail and also lemon lime&bitters. Mine was the lime and I absolutely loved it, was so refreshing! Then we had the Garlic Itallian Ciabatta which was a-h-mazingly good! Bread was so soft! Then crispy on edges and so garlicy and buttery which I just loved! It was served with 2 large slices of bread.
For mains we had the Modern Sicillian (Lamb Pizza) - loved the flavours! I find the brocolli on pizza nice actually! Then we also had gnocchi and lobster&crab ravioli, we all shared so had to taste all the dish. Ravioli was absolutely perfect! I couldn't fault the dish! The pasta, the meat, the sauce, the sweet potato garnish, everything! The gnocchi was also very smooth, n lump and the sauce was delish! Flavours was great! My favorite was the ravioli! If you are craving for some good Italian food, go here and you'll never be disappointed :D Their food was all worth the price.
We'll come back again definitely. :)
Really good dishes!
Well priced!
Place is huge - question the number of waiters here during peak. Feels difficult to get the attention of one.

I came to know about this place through zomato. Read the reviews and they serve drinks too so thought we should try it. It's located walkable distance from parramatta station. U can spot the restaurant as from u walk in the same direction. We didn't reserve any table just walked in.
The restaurant is very spacious and we were seated on a table for two. I loved the decor paintings, firewood and the table had candlelight too.
We started with the drinks. I had ordered for tight walker chardonnay and hubby had glenfiddich single malt scotch. Both the drinks were good.
For entrée we ordered the bruschetta pomodoro thought the quantity was less the quality was excellent. Just loved it totally yummmy. Also ordered the classic arancini risotto balls. It was veg but it was so yummy. Loved this one too.
For mains we ordered for the peperoncini pollo pizza which had chicken along with rocket leaves, onion, Chili, BBQ sauce and mozzarella. This was thin crust on the inside and soft on the edge. It was yummy and filling too.
For desserts we ordered the mild strawberry pillow. It had strawberry mousse on a brexton chocolate Base and it was so tasty. The presentation was beautiful.
Service was good and the servers were attentive. They did check with the chef for our preferences.
Pricing is definitely high but the quality of food was good.
Had a great dinner and will forward to trying their pasta next time.
I took my dad and my boys dinner at Sicilian on Sunday night. We hv ordered 2 kids meal,3 big steak and 1 seafood pasta. We finished them all, very nice food nice portion nice customer service, so so so nice day I hv enjoyed my dinner

If you ever want a good wood fire pizza and good cocktails and great staff with a warm atmosphere
And fresh ingredients this is the place to go
I always go back to Sicilians. Very trusty Italian restaurant close to home. I went for my birthday recently with 7 of my friends, we are seating away from the main part of the restaurant which was nice. Good to be away from noise. However, the girl who served us seemed to have hated her job. She wasnt the really enthused to speak to us, she stared at her note pad and barely looked at us. Otherwise the food is about an 8/10 everyone in the group seemed to have liked it.
This place has so much potential, but ive never come away feeling truely satisfied with my meal. The food is decent but its just not outstanding. It could be outstanding. It should be outstanding.
A friend and I came to Sicilian on a Thursday night. We didn't make a booking but it was fine. It did start to get a bit busier as the night went on. I had the ragu and my friend ordered the crab and lobster ravioli. My ragu was delicious however the only thing I would say is that the ricotta really didn't do anything for the dish. They should have added Parmesan instead. But the meat was delicious and pasta was cooked well. I tried my friends pasta and it was also delicious. The sauce was great! I also had a chai latte which was good but could have used a bit more cinnamon flavour throughout. Service was fine and prices can be a little pricey depending what you get. Overall, a good experience and I will most likely returns

Located in the heart of Parramatta’s Church street restaurant district you will find a slice of Sicilly at Sicillian Modern Italian and Woodfire Pizza. The restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine filled with bold, rich flavours. The décor is rustic, featuring a log wall and sandstone beams which brings warmth to a very vast dining area. The seating available includes booths both inside and outside which offer a cosy place for a romantic meal or a comfortable space for dinner with family and friends, or tables which cater for groups of any size. Staff were welcoming and provided useful insight into popular selections from the menu.
Sicillian has a vast drink menu which includes a large number of wines, spirits, cocktails and mocktails for those designated drivers out there. The mojito was fresh and zesty, perfect for a warm summer evening and the fruit tingle, as the name suggests left a fruit tingle on the palette.
The classic arancini risotto, a creamy risotto ball deep fried leaving a crisp, crunchy exterior was the perfect start to our meal and was finished with a sweet marinara sauce and creamy fetta crumble. The flavours were well balanced and there were plenty to share!
Agnello Spiedini, one of Sicillian’s renowned dishes was quite the spectacle. This featured a slow roasted lamb rump, marinated in rosemary, black garlic and pepper was served on a skewer with a rich, creamy garlic and red pepper infused sauce. The flavoursome sauce was the perfect accompaniment for the lamb which was cooked beautifully, rotisserie style with a smoky undertone.
We also enjoyed the Pollo Escallopes, grilled chicken breast finished with olives, tomatoes, basil and buffalo mozzarella. The succulent chicken was cooked very nicely, served with sprouts and mini potatoes which paired the dish together nicely. Flovours were subtle, but very enjoyable.
Because we were looked after so well, we opted to share a dessert. We chose the chocolate brulee dome which layered a flourless chocolate sponge, chocolate mousse and caramel brulee inside a dark chocolate ganache dome dusted with flakes of gold. The dessert was quite rich so the white choloate gelato was the perfect accompaniment.
Great place to get some decent Italian food. We came on Valentine's Day and it was packed. After waiting for 15 minutes we were lead to our table. The staff was super friendly and gave us some recommendations from the menu. The food came out quickly too.
The dimly lit atmosphere is perfect for dates and catchup with mates. Overall, would come back again whenever I am in Parramatta.

It’s always a pleasure to visit a venue that has stood the test of time like Sicilian has for over a decade. Seafood dominates as it does in the region of Italy that this menu is inspired
LOW CARB BURATTA CHEESE - served with rocket and figs, dried cherry tomato, toasted ciabatta garnished with fig reduction
CLASSIC ARRANCINI DI RISOTTO - this is the main way Sicilians use their rice next to risotto, in its natural flavors and stock, sits on marinara sauce and shredded fetta.
PORK BELLY: The crispy pork belly with truffle mash, seared scallops finished with an apple mousse and cider reduction. The meat is so tender and and its rind making a nice crackling sound when breaking! Great contrasts and perfect prep.
BAIA MORTO BAY BUGS: Grilled garlic and herbed infused Morton Bay bugs rested on basil infused rustic mash and roasted vegetables (zucchini caps), finished with Sicilian Hollandaise sauce
RISOTTE DI PESCE: Is typical of the sicilian island as their risottos will predominantly always feature their local catches. Prawn, calamari, vongole, octopus, and mussels feature here with fresh roma tomatoes and saffron.
NUTTELLA PIZZA: It was impossible not to have a pizza from the feature woodier oven in the lower ground dining area. Chef made us a fantastic banana and strawberry creation with a luscious nutella base and a centerpiece of ice cream. Such simplicity, yet rich and elegant - perhaps the underlying thread to the success of the menu and this venue that has served tens of thousands of meals over the decade.
Karina and her team served our table, were very helpful with recommendations and the wait times were surprisingly quite swift considering a number of large groups had walked in while we waited to order. The ambience is classy and sophisticated, nice booths in the lower dining area, and versatile table settings to suit all occasions on the upper split levels and rear bar areas. Al Fresco dining is also available.
A leader in the Parramatta dining scene for sure with a rich history and truth to Sicilian cuisine.
Beautiful Italian Style pizza bar and Ristorante in Parramatta. We shared entrees and mains on the recommendation of the floor staff and it was all great. They even do a Nutella pizza for the sweet tooths out there. Lovely option!
Sicilian in Parramatta has been around for 14 years. I visit this Italian institution and only pay 50% of the food bill via a new website I found called First Table. I love a good bargain so when I recently found out a way to save on my dinner bills, I thought - why not?. for full review and photos, go to the blog post
Classic homely Italian meals. Service is friendly, casual and attentive. Pizzas looked great as they were not overtopped, but we opted for pasta that was rich and tasty. Ingredients evidently fresh and of high quality.
This place is an institution in Parramatta and I remember going here over 10 years ago - it looks exactly the same, and may need a bit of a spruce-up, especially since mains now hover around the $30-40 mark.
This is a great restaurant. Good atmosphere along with fast and friendly service. I had their arancini balls with steak as the main. The arancini balls were absolutely delicious! And the steak was cooked to perfection.
Overall: Thumbs up 👍🏽
Dined here with a dimmi offer. I ordered the balmain bug (because if it's on the menu one must order the balmain bugs). It came on a bed of mash potato and steamed vegetables. It was seasoned and came with a wedge of lemon to freshen up the dish.
Overall it was yummy, well balanced would have been better with a rich lemon butter sauce in addition to mesh the dish up better. Well priced with the offer, however maybe a bit pricey without.
Overall, nice restaurant for a catch up with friends/family.

One word.. FABULOUS! We had booked for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were greeted at the door, and led to our table. The wait staff were polite, courteous and something you don't see often these days.. cheerful!!!
Now for the food.. we ordered lemon lime bitters, some garlic bread, pasta di palermo (chicken, bacon, snowpeas with fettuccine in a creamy sauce), penne alla norma (penne with roasted veggies in a tomato sauce) and a messicano pizza(spicy pepperoni, onion, capsicum, mozzarella on tomato sauce). The fettuccine was perfect, the sauce creamy without being overbearing. The penne was cooked al dente and the sauce was bursting with flavour.. very good indeed! The pizza came from a wood fired oven and was a stunner.. reiterating the fact that 500 toppings are not needed to make a great pizza. The base was thin and was crisp enough to hold the toppings. The garlic bread was simple too, just the way it should be.
Overall, we couldn't fault the service or the food. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!!
One of the top restaurants in Parra. Its gorgeous decor and large space makes it ideal for group dinners, plus the food is top notch too. I really enjoyed the pesto gnocchi!!
Good portion of food, tasty, service is average. The waiter forgot to replace the culinary and the wine I ordered.
Casual and comfortable environment.
I'm seriously smashing this place ever since the Dimmi deal was released. I love it. The food here is consistent every time and the customer service is great. I highly recommend the rib eye. It is consistently always cooked to my liking and I love the red wine jus that comes with it.
Parramatta has been undergoing a bit of a revival lately, with a lot of newcomers on the dining scene – but one of the older players is the Sicilian restaurant which has been around for the last decade on Church Street. The boy had been to the Sicilian a while back, but it has since been renovated and now features plush circular booth seats as part of its dark, contemporary decor.
Daniela from the Platinum Restaurant Group invited us to dine at one of their selection of restaurants. We happily accepted when we heard it was Sicilian at Parramatta! So it turns out, it wasn't JUST a meal, but more a feast! We started off with traditional arancini balls (fried risotto balls served with aioli and rocket), worked our way through Ravioli Di Zucca and Formaggio Di Capra (Pumpkin and Goat’s cheese Ravioli) and Prosciutto Woodfired Pizza and finished off with four types of dessert! Let's begin! Arancini balls The arancini balls were ever so crunchy, warm and delicious. It was filled with oozy cheese and the risotto was cooked well. Make sure you devour your arancini ball in the aoili sauce (because it's so aromatic, creamy and delicious). Prosciutto Woodfired Pizza Prosciutto, parma, napolitana sauce, mozzarella, rocket, shaved parmesan and balsamic reduction is what makes the Prosciutto Woodfired Pizza. The base was v
Hit and miss. Some dishes were fantastic and others left a lot to be desired. The arancini and pork ribs were delicious. The zucchini flowers and pumpkin goats cheese ravioli were disappointing, one was super salty and the other quite bland. I liked the restaurant overall, taking into other factors like ambience and service
The servings at Sicilian were ginormous! Perhaps it may be the aranchini balls that filled us up because DC and I struggled to finish off both the mains. So a heads up is that if you are planning to make a visit to Sicilian, do yourself a favour; skip the mains and go straight to the mains otherwise you may be rolling out of the restaurant like I did.
Enjoyed the food, the service and the passing traffic. A pleasant evening, left with a smile.
The food was ok thought it would of been better. Not that much of a verity
Good quality food and large servings make this a place I'd want to go back to.
A family-friendly, filling Italian restaurant.
Their pasta and steak is divine. Unfortunately, the pizza is also authentic Italian, and thus, is more like flavoured flatbread, not your typical Aussie Dominoes uber-meat-fest. I, like always, chose the wrong thing...
However, I sampled some of my families meals, and they were B-E-A-utiful.
My one other complaint is that there are massive plasma televisions mounted everywhere. My little sister spent the entire evening watching 'Simpsons'. It is a family-friendly restaurant , just so long as you don't want to talk to your family! I might go by myself latter. Or maybe one day with a gf... yeah, as if.
I enjoyed the experiance, yet, bieng a little mean (and lonely), I give the restaurant a 6.7/10.
Huge venue! amazing food with marveolus desserts all throught a top service and really nice staff! Favourite restaurant in Parramatta!
This place definitely surprised me - the interior may be slightly outdated and tacky however the good quality that gets delivered here is quite high and tasty. The ravioli and prawn and chicken fettuccine was my favourite dishes!
Have been here multiple times with my wife and also in large settings. Ambience for both are great! It’s a great date night and catch up with friends with both instances.
Preference food wise is the individual plates and choices. I find more quality and satisfaction with them. The group function meals were ok. Just didn’t taste of the same quality. Especially the pastas.
Service is great and everyone I spoke to were both friendly and accommodating. Definitely will be back.
Advice if coming at peak times there is paid park directly behind the restaurant.
What can i say. We came in for our anniversary dinner, and not only was the food and service amazing but they even remembered that it was our anniversary from when we had our wedding reception here a year ago, even though we didn't even mention it. They even blew us away with a free dessert. To the whole team at Sicilian. Thank you. You made our night perfect!
Had a birthday party here. Very good service, warm atmosphere and nice staff. Food was really good and big serves. All guests full by the end of the night.
Definitely worth going to for having a birthday.
Good value for money. The set menu virtually all you can eat.
A nice place to go with family or friends for Italian food. Good amount of veg options. They have express lunch too. They serve alcohol too. They provide complimentary wine or soft drink with main meal. Happy hours are from 3-6 pm. Portions are quite large.
Very friendly staffs with nice ambience, few mins walk from Parramatta Station, one of the fine dining restaurants in the area.
Fresh and authentic Italian foods - worth the money 👌
We appreciate the free slice of cake and for singing Happy Birthday to this handsome boy..
