Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

We had a wonderful experience! I made reservations for the bar, but we were seating in the atrium. The only problem with that was that I am currently using a scooter because I boke my leg. I was able to hobble up the stairs. Our server Michaela was so nice and very attentive. She was friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu when we ask questions because that was our first time. She was so sweet. Our food was outstanding! The 8 oz filet was delicious and cooked perfectly. Our sides were plenty for 2 people. The lemoncello marguerita was so refreshing and tasty! We were celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary and Michela brough out a delicious brownie and salted caramel gelato that tasted amazing! Overall we had a great evening and will definitely be back!
