Sweet Sicily

After a wine event in Morgan Hill, my friend recommended this place. I was a bit confused when we parked. Don't let this whole in the wall deceive you! We were a party of 6 and hungry! We all ordered a variety of meals and desserts from their bakery. Absolutely delicious! We were so full after eating but it was so worth it. The service was fantastic. Prices super affordable. A wine lover like myself, they do not serve wine or alcohol with your meal. Place is small and cozy but our large party was super comfortable. We combined a few tables together. Definitely a must when in South County- Gilroy area!

How did it take so long for me to find this amazing restaurant?! So delicious!! The deserts are so beautiful and plentiful it is distracting! But we came for dinner and were not disappointed. I started with the bruchetta which was so incredible! Fresh and flavorful and large enough to be a meal! For a main course I had the chicken rolls which was chicken wrapped in bacon, smothered in mushrooms and a delicious sauce. Yum!! My husband had a lasagna that was outstanding also. The portions are large so we had to take some to go in order to enjoy a cafe latte and the most delicious pastry with whip cream and raspberries. I'm so happy we found this gem. We will be regulars for sure!

This review is purely for their range of cakes and pasticceria desserts. We will gladly return to sit down for a meal in the future. We stopped in here to pick up dessert for a dinner recently and Sweet Sicily was not short of choice, good cheer and happy, interactive service. We ended up taking much more than we needed (it just all looked so delicious) and some calzones for breakfast the next day. Some of the desserts aren't exactly Italian/Sicilian, but perhaps a delicious modern fusion more attuned to an American taste, but there is still traditional sweets on display! Although I didn't get to order any, they also had a beautiful range of macaroons (which were kind of hiding, and I felt should have been closer to the front, they are so pretty). I will be going back for those too! The service was friendly, informative and so welcoming in that European way. We were told there is live Italian music on Tuesday nights, and also a special pasta dish prepared on those nights. We will be back for dinner!

If you love good pastries or have experience baking, this place is not for you. We ordered their raspberry eclair which consisted of a bland choux pastry and pink tinged sugarless whipped cream. The only thing that made this raspberry flavored were the fresh berries on top. We also ordered their “Italian Ho Ho,” which again, tasted like nothing. The exterior appeared to be dark chocolate, but had zero flavor. No sweetness, no bitterness, nothing. I’m convinced they used dark brown candy melts instead of actual chocolate. The coating was also about a 1/4” thick and could seriously break a tooth. The inside wasn’t any better with a light brown sugarless whipped cream and mystery brown sponge that again, tasted like nothing. Just skip this place and go to Safeway. UPDATE: Please see the owner's response and decide for yourself whether this restaurant is someplace you want to support. There's a right and wrong way to respond to negative comments and clearly he doesn't know how to do this. Not even an apology and instead he chooses to bash my taste. Try learning some manners. And if your chocolate is such high quality, then perhaps it tastes like nothing because it's something you're doing wrong. Maybe too much cream since this seems to be the only ingredient you like to use in your "Italian" desserts.
