Chef Dario Cattarinich of Sicilian Roast

Explore Southern Italian cuisine at Sicilian Roast
2/L, North Towers, SM City North Edsa

“We are not the usual generic Italian restaurant. That’s boring for me,” said executive chef Dario Cattarinich who is from Naples. Sicilian Roast specializes in authentic food from Southern Italy using ingredients flown in from Italy. The Quattro Formaggi and Margherita Neapolitan pizza are bestsellers, as is Dario’s signature Amalfitana pizza. Try the arancinetti (deep fried stuffed rice balls—the Bolognese one is excellent) and the fried pizza (so, so good), too.

For Father’s Day, Dario suggests the group menu that’s good for 8 to 10 people which includes appetizers, soup, salad, pizza, pasta, main course and profiteroles for dessert for just P4,400. “It’s a sharing menu that everybody can enjoy. Pizza, cannelloni, good stuff, healthy family comfort food.”
