“Mi Taqueria es Su Taqueria!”

Connie and Gino Milano

We NoW Deliver!

Sicily By Gino

G

and their delightful personalities and flavorful recipes have brought new life to the small but mighty Sicily. ino and connie milano are back aGain

With Gino back in the kitchen, preparing the Sicilian family recipes he was raised on, and Connie managing front of house with her no-nonsense but friendly Scottish style, Sicily is likely to become that favorite hole-in-the-wall Italian place every city needs.

Other than charm, what Sicily has in abundance is pasta: spaghetti in a variety of sauces, fettucine alfredo, linguini, penne, gnocchi, lasagna, tortellini on occasion and this being a Southern Italian style of cooking, the preparation is lighter.

Follow us on

Pizza, featuring Gino’s homemade dough, is a crowd pleaser, judging by the number of patrons ordering it.

My husband and I both managed to sneak a bite, and it was great.

Wander in for a little taste of Southern Italy the next time you’re embarking on your night on the town. Connie and Gino will make you feel right at home.
