The unique outdoor setting allows guests to enjoy a social yet intimate atmosphere in the open air. 

Sicily’s location off the Italian mainland has influenced the development of their food, for the past 20 years. “What’s distinctive about Sicilian cuisine are the clean, distinctive flavors that light up the palate,” said Nick Salazar, the restaurant’s manager.
