Best Sicilian Restaurants in Glendale

We had a mutual birthday dinner served beautifully. Fresh food so tastefully prepared. Tiramisu made at table side and the waitstaff singing to us. So festive and delish.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The seating is very tight, with tables so close to each other. But, the overall ambiance was great, as were the servers. We started with a delicious bottle of COS Nero di Lupo wine, from Sicily. Our app for the 3 of us, was the Buratta, which when spread on the great bread for the table, was really good. My wife had the bucatini cacio e pepe was good, but a bit gummy. Taste was great. My son had the Ossobuco ravioli in its sauce, pecorino fondue, thyme and lemon. He rated that as excellent! I tasted and agreed. I opted for the Green Tagliatelle with Wild Boar Ragù Flavoured with Herbs and Black Truffle. Fantastic! When I made the reservation, I noted that we were there for my older son's birthday. They surprised him with cannolis and a candle. Nice touch! One additional comment, there are many wine options, but the vast majority are quite expensive. The one bottle I asked for, which was somewhat reasonable, was out of stock. The bottle we did get was $25 more, but as stated above, delicious. I do highly recommend this restaurant!

Loved it. Big open airy space, with a nice variety on the menu. We’ve been eating at the Frank’s places since 457 opened way back when.

My mother-in-law spent hours researching spots for a holiday gift card/surprise family dinner and landed on Piccola Cucina. The unassuming Casa is tucked away on a quiet street we might not have otherwise noticed, but you are greeted with warmth the moment you open the door. From the cozy lighting, to the gentleman making fresh pasta at the bar, to the friendly staff, it was Nona’s homey perfection from start to finish. Our server Cynthia offered great menu and wine guidance as we attempted to taste it all. The prices are very reasonable versus portion size. Octopus, Branzino, Gnocchi, and Osso Bucco Agnolotti were standouts. Can’t wait to be back!

This was a second visit to this restaurant. Comfy atmosphere; it’s as if you’re in the living room of a good friend’s house. The Grilled Lamb Shops were delicious. Portions are not too big to not able to finish your meal, but not too smal to leave still hungry. Service was very good, although the butter for the bread we asked for was never brought, but most likely because waiters were very busy. Understandable and forgivable. That will not stop us to dining there again.
