The Sicilian Express

This is a cheaply priced Italian eatery. If you're on a budget but looking for good food, this is the place for you to go. They specialize in take-out and deliveries although you can still eat in, they have minimal eating spaces and so sitting can be a problem during lunch hours.

This is what we ordered:

Well, it would be really unfair to compare it to the Sicilian Salad in Italianni's but for it price, it tasted good and refreshing. Refreshing in the sense that there was a lot of sweetness and flavor added into the salad because of the fruits. There were generous amounts of grapes, mangoes and tomatoes in the salad. The most importan part of it all for me was that the fruits were big enough to be enjoyed, i.e. the grapes weren't sliced in half, the mangoes were not mushed or the tomatoes were not chopped finely. There was some chicken in the salad which broke its monotony. The dressing was very simple kind of like a thousand island meets caesar salad dressing but complimented the fruits very well.

The sauce was a bit too watery and the pasta as far as I could tell was a bit overdone. I may be so bold to say that I think it could have been reboiled or reheated already. The only good thing about the pasta was that there was a generous amount of FRESH shrimps.
