Authentic Italian family run business that is a cafe by day and a reservation only all restaurant at weekends. Very popular locally and easy to see why. Real Italian experience. Great value.
What a nice place! Artisan feel with quality food but not too expensive. Did lunch with a friend on a Friday. Was busy and had a nice buzz. Food was excellent and staff were really nice. Couldn't ask for more.
Stumbled across this place on a random drive through Kent.
I knew from those sitting outside in the sunshine with smiles and large glasses of wine that it was gonna be good.
Ended up with the roast pork panini, the sausage and green pepper panini, lots of sliced cured meats the mortadella was incredible. I even had an ice coffee while I waited. (Pizzas served later in the day)
It's very simple. I wish I had ordered twice as much. I will be back to sample the entire menu. Which i am certain will be delicious. The staff were polite and helpful. Easy 5☆☆☆☆☆
I'm hungry thinking about it!
Shrewd diners should not be phased by this unpretentious and informal cafe-restaurant. Rewarding finds like this used to be fun particularly in the 1960s in London's Soho, of which there is similarity.
Lovely as always. Dinner for four.three course,two bottles of wine and coffee for £120. Service polite, friendly and not rushed. Eaten here several times and never disappointed. Food is so good, dessert to die for. Little gem
Called in for a coffee and pastry
Both were good and good value
Would have loved to book an evening meal unfortunately they are only open Friday and Saturday evenings .
(What a shame) if we are ever in Deal on a evening that they are open we will without a doubt make a reservation
Superb food, excellent service and an amazing atmosphere. My husband and I eat here regularly and have never been disappointed. Authentic Italian cuisine, freshly cooked and then served by the wife and daughter of the chef, such a lovely Italian family restaurant. Hand made pastries, gorgeous Italian cheeses and wine not to mention desserts to die for. If you want truly delicious Italian food, warm and friendly service and want to feel like you are in Italy itself then you must eat at the Sicilian in Deal
Great coffee. We didn’t stop for food but liked the look of the menu and planned to come back. What was not very nice unfortunately was twice in a 15 minute visit being smoked over by the chef, at the open air tables. I and my mum were sat outside because I’d just had transplant rejection treatment and am now completely immunesuppressed, and that was the safest option. Felt I had to leave. Perhaps the smoking could happen slightly further away from the outside tables - that would be considerate and hospitable.
A quaint and authentic Italian restaurant. Owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is freshly made and tasty and coffee too. Also allow our cockapoo inside.
Where do you go when you come home from a trip to Italy? Well, straight to The Sicilian of course for some authentic Italian food. Fabulous little restaurant. Be adventurous and try the daily specials.
It's like walking off the pavement in Deal, straight into Palermo. Brilliant food, owner is excellent chef , he and his wife make us very welcome, we lunch there often. Also a great deli with authentic meats and cheeses. Friendly haven, and reasonably priced.
What a gem of a place to eat. Don't let the outside of the business put you off.
The proprietors are FANTASTIC, as is the food. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Deal and the surrounding area.
This is a often overlooked gem, excellent food and service. The smells coming from there kitchen are more than tempting. Today's pastries look fabulous. The ice-cream is mmmmmmmmmarvelous.
very nice little restaurant. Top quality of the food and drinks. Staff is nice too. However, a star deduction because the waiting times until the food comes are a bit too long.
A small quaint establishment & needed to pre-order from the menu on some choices however, food was absolutely delicious. Service was perfect & hospitality exceptional. Highly recommended.
This is a must to visit for a coffee and lunch if you are visiting Deal. Superb Italian coffee is served here and the food is delightful. The paninis are very innovative and tasty with a make your own option. Best cafe in Deal.
