Sicilians Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in Victoria

While the staff were excellent and most helpful and kind, the food was really underwhelming compared to the description. It was not very fresh or viberant. I had the seafood delux and I was overall happy with the choice of the variety in my bowl but the seafood wasn’t cooked properly. It wasn’t pan fried or really even sautéed (that were not golden or caramelised) as described. ( and as they should have been), but it was reall the sauce that let it down. No hint of garlic or fresh chilli (or chill of any kind), and the Neapolitan sauce was not of fresh tomatoes or even tasted of tomatoes either. It also was very under seasoned I had to add so much pepper and salt that 1/4 that you through I just left it and was unable to eat the rest. They did serve it with a hand rinsing bowl and nice hearted bread that was nice to see.

My Father had the gnocchi, know that was cooked well not overdone at all it was perfect, I doubt fresh but it was nice anyhow, the sauce itself was ok but again the Neapolitan base let in down not being fresh tomatoes or even tasting of the fresh tinned ones but bland and pasty.

The only dish that was mildly worth the night was the starter an antipasto platter, the salami and cheeses were good the preserved eggplant, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and olives were very nice not mind blowing but ok but nothing I couldn’t have got from the local shop and had at home, the green salad was just sad, it wasn’t cold and was underdressed (only having olive oil on it), and the presentation was, wel I’ve seen better from school students.

The other food around me I admit looked nice, you definitely can’t accuse them of stingy portion sizes, and they are well priced for what you get. I will leave by just wanting you to to know that I am jut a food lover and this is my opinion and although the food needed to be better and fresher the staff were...

A group of 5 went there for tea before doing the asylum tour … 2 of us had scotch fillet that was supposed to be med rare … half of it was med rare the other half was rare to the point of almost blue …. I was still happy to pay for our meals as other than that the meals were nice …. Instead of being courteous the older lady (I’m guessing owner) told me we are the first to ever complain and that they use a thermometer too cook their steaks …. What has that got to do with being served rare steaks … unless your steak chef is moving the thermometer around said steak whilst cooking you will get different levels of cooked …. We were still charged full price with not even an apology…. I did not want discount I just wanted to point out that our $36 steak was under cooked …. Very disappointed in the reaction too...

Yesterday, my partner and I drove all the way from Stawell to Ararat in eager anticipation of enjoying a delicious pizza. We ordered a pizza for take away. When we went to pick the order up, we were waiting for the pizza and the pizza was ready a while ago but everybody is so busy to give it to us. Although pizza was bit cold but we were happy because the taste was good, and we were enjoying our meal.

However, our dinner took an unexpected turn when we discovered a piece of glove inside the last two slices of our pizza which was stuck inside the dough. This discovery left us quite shocked and disappointed. Finding foreign objects in food is not only unsightly but also concerning for hygiene and safety reasons. We are genuinely upset with the level of negligence we...
