The Sicilian - Dover

We finally made it to this charming restaurant after hearing so many wonderful things about it. We were not disappointed. The Sicilian dishes were outstanding, made with love and passion using the freshest ingredients. The lovely lady owner managed the front of house, always hospitable and welcoming, while her husband created delicious food.

I popped into the restaurant in the early afternoon to have a coffee and a snack. My husband enjoyed a panini while I was happy to find a gluten-free chocolate cookie, which was deliciously light with a lovely texture. It was a pleasant surprise to be catered to as someone with celiac disease. The restaurant also had a variety of homemade treats on display, including Italian and Sicilian specialties. My husband even bought two mini cannoli to take away, making me a bit jealous. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, with gleaming tables that I appreciated. I will definitely be returning in the future.

I am writing this quickly to clarify that The Sicilian restaurant is still open. Before we visited, we were unsure because their online information had not been updated for a few years. However, as of March 2023, the restaurant is definitely open and serving a delicious menu of authentic dine-in and takeout options, with friendly service.

Visit this amazing little cafe regularly and every time has been an amazing treat. The food is to die for, the service and friendliness of the owners is second to none. We have tried everything on the menu and have never been disappointed!!! Lovely atmosphere and such good value. Cannot recommend enough !! One of the best places to eat in Deal.

This place is great. I try to pop in as often as I can to grab a freshly made panini to take away for lunch. We've also had pizza from here at the weekend and it's up there with the best pizza we've had anywhere. Nice and friendly, family-run and authentic. We're lucky to have this sort of thing in Deal.
