   Little slow to get served but they were very busy! Food was very nice, especially the mega Arancini thing they do

   The food was nice but unfortunately the service let them down. Conversation was limited with the servers, they were blunt and not very friendly. The space was pretty small and cramped with no where to put your coat/bag. It was very clear they wanted us out earlier than the time that was allocated for the table as they started to clear things without asking (including the tap water we were charged £1.50 for) from about half an hour before we were due to leave, despite still having drinks to finish. We noted on the booking that we were celebrating a birthday which also wasn’t acknowledged. I was excited to come back but overall it was disappointing and a far cry from how it was the last time i visited a few years ago

   I reserved a table for two on Saturday evening and even paid for the three course menu option for the two of us in advance. It was a meal we were looking forward to as it was a celebration. Unfortunately when we arrived we were told we were to sit at the bar not at a table. We were at the end of the bar beside a sink not at all what we had expected which was so disappointing. They couldn’t apparently put us on a table as they were fully booked… even though we had booked and paid for our meal in advance. Such a shame , poor handling of our reservation when we arrived and would not recommend. Food wise the starter and main were good but the dessert was stale . Obviously sitting out for too long. Would I book again ? The answer would be no!

   Came here with my girlfriend on a date night and we were excited. The restaurant was pretty empty so it wasn’t too loud which was nice. The waiter was attentive and polite although he never gave us any water. I’d say we were both honestly very disappointed in the food. It was kind of luke warm and the tomato salad came with no dressing. Wine was tasty tho. I’d say it’s an average level restaurant nothing special. Wouldn’t do a first date/important occasion here (no offense). maybe they just aren’t know for their food i’m not sure….

   Very atmospheric and relaxed ambiance. The food is fresh and delicious. We didn't get a chance to test the extensive list of deserts.... Maybe next time? The coat hangers on the wall are a great idea, considering you're sitting on stools. Very efficient space saving, as it's a cosy place

   Excellent as always! Bei g from an Italian family I'm often disappointed with Italian restaurants but Siciliana is an absolute exception. The food is amazing every time. Tonight we were with my in-laws and tried the desert sharing board which as fantastic. Everything tasted unbelievably good and it was amazing value too

   At best, average unfortunately. We were expecting so much more after following them on Facebook
