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.

Our experience was as expected for Sunday Brunch. Was disappointed to see the changes to the bar area, which aren't in keeping with the historic era of the Roycroft. In particular the bar stools, which look like they belong at the Woolworth's lunch counter. We generally prefered to sit in this smaller intimate space for brunch, but it is no longer that with this renovation. Sitting in the main dining room is noisy and crowded and difificult to navigate thru the tables. Overall the service was good and the food choices and extra pricing for bottomless mimosas acceptable. Shout out to Sage our server ~ she was exceptional.

Ended up at a bar high top so the noise level was and the restaurant looked full. Aside from that the food and service was great. Server - excellent with suggestions and modifications.
