Sicilian Oven, 2486 N Federal Hwy, Lighthouse Point, FL 33064 This is a locally owned Chain based here in Florida. They have several locations throughout the Palm Beaches and Broward area. The decor and ambiance within each location can be slightly different for the next. Not that is a bad thing in my opinion. I believe that each location develops its own character to the community to which it operates. Here is a run down from the About page from the corporate offices and they show that they have 9 locations. They also say that they give back. GIVE BACK: Ralph DiSalvo and Andrew Garavuso have been Pillars of the community for over 25 years. These two guys have always believed in the importance of giving back to the community. Now Sicilian Oven invites you to share your cause with us. It may be a school, church, sports team, music program, animal shelter, non-profit organization or an important event in your community, that needs some help. When we host a giveback with you, we will donate 15% of the sales generated by the event to the cause. Events are scheduled Monday through Thursday at a location of your choice. Thank you for your interest in our give back events. We are here to help. Ralph and Andrew Sicilian Oven offers a new way of dining. Our philosophy is based on the best ingredients and flavor combinations. We carefully designed the menu so people can comfortably experience many flavor filled items in a single sitting. Many of these recipes have been handed down from generations through the DiSalvo and Garavuso families. We do this because we love it. You will not only love the taste, but you will also taste the love. Ok, I stopped in for lunch at the Lighthouse location. My lunch meal was a Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken and Sweet Iced Tea. The salad came out in 10 minutes and the chicken was nice and hot. As you see the salad was fresh, no limp leaves and the croutons were toast on the premises. Some of them had a slight char on them which gave it more flavor and character. This dish is also served with a set of Tongs which threw me a bit. Taylor did an awesome job attending to my every need. This left me with a great opinion of this local chain. My complements to the management of this location a for a nice clean restaurant. I recommend them for a visit.

Everything we ordered was perfect! Great server, Barnabas, and the restaurant was very clean. Only drawback was they only serve Pepsi products and do not brew the iced tea. Had to settle for water as our beverage. Traffic noise from the highway that is heard through the open sliding doors was sometimes annoying. BUT, we will return because of everything else being so good!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We ordered the meat pizza called The Captain, a salad and wings. All the food was fresh, hot, and outstanding. The pepperoni was old world and the meat was so plentiful on the pie; could have had a bit more cheese on the pizza, but it was still tasty and delicious. The chicken wings had the fried onions on top; it was heavenly! The salad was amazing. Definitely eat here; I think you’ll agree that this is an A establishment. If you liked my review and photos, please them. Many thanks.

Real homemade pizza like at the streets of Brooklyn, they have great lunch specials but you may not be able to go back to work, I was very full eating a custom made 6 slice pie, they have these personal pies that fit whatever taste and appetite you want, it comes with nice a salad, WOW is my word for them, thanks guys

The pizza was amazing! It was exactly how I imagined it. It was cooked perfectly and loaded with my favorite sausage toppings. I also ordered the wings. They were not cooked correctly when they arrived but Mike ( I believe that was the bartenders name) took care of it and replaced my order. Then they were delicious!! Thank you for making my experience a pleasurable one. I do like this spot!!

Lively bar and restaurant. Great food. Very friendly server. Nice happy hour drink specials. Wonderful first visit. Highly recommend!

We’ve known about Sicilian Oven for years, thanks to their multiple locations. We previously visited the Coral Springs location and, while enjoyable, it wasn’t memorable enough to become a regular spot for us. Recently, we moved to Pompano and have been exploring the NY/American-Italian restaurants in the area, with more misses than hits. When we walked into Sicilian Oven, we were pleased to see it bustling. Many restaurants are struggling, so it’s refreshing to see a local place packed. The decor is late 2010’s modern: dark woods, stacked stone, RGB LED lights, chalkboard special boards, and servers dressed in all black. It’s a classic look that strikes a balance between comfort and casual. We were seated immediately at one of the last available tables, which is both lucky and uncommon in South Florida at 8 pm on a random Wednesday in June. With the snowbirds gone, out-of-season restaurants hurt from late May to early September, and it says a lot about the meal we were about to thoroughly enjoy. The hostess asked if our table, located near the server/to-go station, was okay. We didn’t mind. Some people are particular about their seating, but unless there’s an extreme circumstance, we rarely ask to be relocated. We’re there to eat, not to check in for the night. The menu, while simple in concept, could be clearer (as seen on their website) to indicate what’s a sandwich, an entree, or an appetizer. Everything is around the same price, but portion sizes vary, which can lead to confusion. However, this is where the complaints end and the praise begins. Our server Val was a sweetheart. Upbeat and friendly, she helped us navigate the menu when we needed a few extra minutes. We decided to “do as they do” and order food to share, which I recommend doing with friends and family to rediscover the people in your life. Now, on to the food. We started with the Cervellata & Broccoli Rabe (Sausage & Broccoli Rabe), which had perfectly al dente broccoli rabe, sliced garlic, olive oil, sliced cherry peppers, and Cervellata rope sausage. Val warned us it was spicy, but it wasn’t for us. If you’re averse to spice, just pawn the cherry peppers off to the table next to you or take them off the plate and stare at them—they know what they did. A star was removed because it didn’t come with the shaved Parmigiano Reggiano as pictured on their website—4 of 5 stars. Next, the Pollo Parmigiana Reggiano (Chicken Parmigiana). You get four pieces of crispy chicken cutlet, fresh pomodoro sauce, melted mozzarella, and grated Romano cheese. The chicken was tender and fried perfectly, crispy without being greasy. The sauce was naturally bright. It was one of the best Chicken Parmigianas I’ve had in a long time—5 of 5 stars. The last dish we shared was the Eggplant Parmigiana Reggiano (Eggplant Parmigiana), which consisted of thinly sliced peeled eggplant in fresh pomodoro sauce with melted mozzarella. It was everything I hoped for. Eggplant is often messed up, but they got it right. It’s sliced thin so that once baked, it melts in your mouth. It’s a light yet filling dish—5 of 5 stars. We didn’t have room for dessert, but Val told us to try her favorite, the warm carrot cake. Next time. Additionally, the pizzas, salads, and antipastos we saw coming out of the kitchen looked absolutely delicious. We will have to work our way through the menu. Our server Val, as mentioned earlier, was helpful, efficient, and informative. We enjoyed her candor and will request her again the next time we return—5 of 5 stars. Overall, Sicilian Kitchen impressed us so much that we’ll be back. Maybe tomorrow—5 of 5 stars.

I just wanted to take a moment to highlight the incredible service we received at Sicilian Oven. Our waiter, Barnabas, was absolutely amazing! We came in last minute with a group of 10 people, and everything went so smoothly. Barnabas was friendly, attentive, and handled our large table with ease. He gave great menu recommendations, kept everything organized, and made sure everyone felt taken care of. Big shoutout as well to the manager, Mathew, who was just as accommodating and welcoming. You can really tell the team here works well together and genuinely cares about providing a great experience. We’ll definitely be back—not just for the delicious food, but for the outstanding service. Thank you, Barnabas and Mathew!
