Il Siciliano - Helsinki

When you think of Helsinki, you think of Italian food, right?? No, no you don't. But, our party of 7 (which grew to a party of 10) was looking for a break...

Il Siciliano is a warm and cozy restaurant with tasty Italian fare. The customer service was excellent and the bar was stocked with great spirits. I would...

Unfortunately they were short staff tonight. So had to walk inside to order drink and app for outside. Started with meat/cheese arancini. 4/10- not much...

20 Euro Pasta and you must stand up to take the sweetness and order the food... The Carbonara was too salty and lots of cream and no ice cream as mentioned in the menu also badly « Speck ». The reindeer Sauce Ravioli were delicious, but little portion. Much better Italian restaurants. Not recommended.

Our experience was rather disappointing. I'm not sure if they were short and unorganized because it was a holiday, or if that's how the restaurant usually works. We had a reservation for two and were soon shown on our table. We waited a few minutes until our order was taken, 2 glasses of wine and two pizzas (01 Miss Sicily and 01 Diavola). That was when things went wrong. Unfortunately we were charged to other customers. Shortly afterwards our drinks were served. The wine was really crazy and inconspicuous. While we waited for our food, which lasted about 30 minutes, we saw when several groups of people came to the restaurant and remained unattended. The restaurant was not full and the staff did not seem attentive or worried. Our food looked pretty good, but the same could not be said about the taste that was not present and boring.
