Why it's worth checking out
Sicilian sits on Playfair Street in The Rocks, the historic, cobblestoned heart of Sydney right by Circular Quay and the harbour. An Italian restaurant and pizzeria, it brings warm, generous Italian cooking to one of the city's most atmospheric and visited precincts, set among the heritage laneways near the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
The appeal is that combination of crowd-pleasing Italian fare — pizza, pasta and more — and a charming, characterful Rocks location, ideal for a relaxed meal while exploring the harbour foreshore. In an area full of dining aimed at visitors, building a strong following speaks to a kitchen doing things properly.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Rocks restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or making the most of the historic Rocks atmosphere.
