Sicilian Cafe

Absolutely awesome. When your job takes you all over the north state you end up eating out A LOT! A couple days ago if you asked what's my favorite restaurant, I would have said Blades and Barrels in Redding. Now I have a new favorite. We arrived at 3:45p Mis read the info and thought they started serving dinner at 3:30 but that's Happy hour. They start serving dinner at 4:30. Anyway the hostess went in the kitchen to see if they could start early. She came out and seated us right away in a lovely dining room with white linen and elegant table settings. Drinks first. Amazing. Then we ordered appetizers. Mushrooms and calamari. (We couldn't decide) Very generous portions for 2. We ate our fill and the waiter boxed up the leftovers right away. Also included was an antipasto plate and warm b

We rented the private room out for our company holiday party and it exceeded all expectations. Misti worked with me for some time before the event to make a custom menu for us and helped with food selection. We were seated quickly; the servers were incredibly attentive. We had a large party of 28 and everything was seamless. I can't recommend this place enough. The food is fantastic, and the staff makes the experience wonderful.

My wife and I have never had that much fun going out to eat before. Our bartender Evan is an absolute ace, he had us laughing the whole time. The food was delicious and the prices were fair. We'll definitely be back.

Everything we ordered was super delicious, and our server Robert Jessica was outstanding, very welcoming, and friendly. We ordered the shrimp scampi appetizer, and I ordered shrimp scampi pasta, and my husband ordered the NY steak strip with veggies and mash potatoes. For dessert, we had the Creme Brule. All tasted good, but the pasta was amazing!! I recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Italian and a fine dining option.

It was our first night in Chico and everywhere was so busy! We called here and they explained it was a short wait, so we were gonna kill time at the bar; but we showed up and they instantly sat us! All of our drinks were fantastic. Our server was very friendly. Even the owner stopped by our table to say hi and ask us how all the food was. Of course, it was all really incredible. My veal was cooked perfectly. I felt a little underdressed, but the restaurant isn’t a super fancy place. You can still impress your partner with the atmosphere and the portions! I regret eating so much and not getting dessert. Maybe the next time I’m in town!
